Before you get here

What to do right now

•

Knocked-out tooth

Handle it by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse, and if you can, place it back in the socket or in milk. Call us immediately.

•

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Avoid placing aspirin on the gum.

•

Broken tooth or swelling

Rinse gently, use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek, and call so we can advise and get you seen.

If you have severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care or call 911.

Emergency FAQ

Common questions

How fast can I be seen?
Call us and we’ll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible. Phoning first is always faster than waiting on a form — we can also guide you on what to do in the meantime.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or persistent pain, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling or an abscess, or bleeding that won’t stop. When in doubt, call.
What will an emergency visit cost?
It depends on what’s needed. We’ll explain the recommended treatment and cost before proceeding. No insurance? We’ll work with you.
I’m a new patient — can you still see me?
