Tooth pain

When a tooth can't wait

We keep open time on most weekdays for tooth pain, when the schedule allows. A same-day visit is never promised. Call us when we open, tell the desk the tooth hurts, and we say what is possible that day.

How pain visits work

  • Call as early as you can; the best time is before 10 a.m.

  • We say yes only when we can keep the visit

  • If we can't see you, we tell you when we can, and who else to call

  • 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.

What to do first

  • Swelling or trouble breathing

    Go to an emergency room or call 911. Don't wait for us to call back.

  • A tooth knocked out

    Pick it up by the crown, rinse it gently and keep it moist in milk. Call us right away.

  • A broken tooth

    Keep any piece you find, rinse your mouth with water and call us.

  • A toothache

    Call us when we open. Over-the-counter pain medicine can help for a short time if your doctor says it is right for you.

Questions about pain visits

Do you take patients without a referral when they are in pain?

Yes, when we have the time. Call and the desk will tell you what we need.

What if you can't see me today?

We tell you when the next opening is, and if it can't wait, we say so and suggest who else to call.

Is a toothache always an emergency?

No. Swelling that spreads, trouble breathing or swallowing and bleeding that won't stop are emergencies. Other pain should still be looked at soon.

Tooth pain? Call the desk.

We answer during office hours. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
