Tooth pain
Pain visits: when we can, never promised
We keep open time on most weekdays for tooth pain, when the schedule allows. We can't promise a same-day visit, and we won't tell you one is possible when it isn't.
How it works
Call as early in the morning as you can, and tell the desk the tooth hurts.
The desk tells you what is possible that day, or when the next opening is.
Swelling that spreads to your face, eye or neck, or trouble breathing or swallowing, means 911.
- Swelling that spreads to your face, eye or neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, a serious blow to the head, or bleeding that won't stop needs emergency care now. Go to an emergency room or call 911. If a tooth is knocked out or broken, call our office right away.

Before you call
Do I need a referral?
Many patients come with one from their dentist. If you don't have one, call us and we will tell you what we need.
Do you place the crown?
No. We treat the inside of the tooth and close it with a temporary filling. Your dentist places the permanent filling or crown.
Do you take my plan?
It depends on the plan. We tell you before treatment, and our fees page explains how we check.
What if my tooth hurts tonight?
Call us when we open. If swelling spreads to your face, eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room or call 911.
