Emergency Dentist FAQs

1) What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe pain, swelling around the jaw or face, signs of infection, a tooth that's been knocked out, a cracked or fractured tooth, persistent bleeding, or mouth trauma. Not sure? Call us anyway.
2) Can you see me the same day?
We make room for emergency patients and try our hardest to get you in the same day. If we can't do the full treatment right away, we'll focus on getting you out of pain and stable with a plan in place. We serve patients from the Dayton area and handle urgent cases regularly.
3) Should I call or book online?
For most emergencies, online booking gets the job done. If you're in serious pain, have visible swelling, or knocked a tooth out, a phone call is the better move—we can prep before you even walk in.
4) What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Speed is everything with a knocked-out tooth. Pick it up by the crown, rinse it gently without scrubbing, and try to set it back in the socket. If that doesn't work, put it in milk or keep it in your mouth and call us immediately.
5) What should I do if I have swelling or think I have an infection?
Reach out right away—infections don't wait and neither should you. A cold compress helps in the meantime. Don't put aspirin directly on the gum, and if swelling spreads fast or breathing feels off, call 911 or head to the emergency room.
6) What if I have a broken tooth or cracked tooth?
Don't put any pressure on that tooth and give us a call. We'll assess the break and talk through what makes the most sense to keep the tooth intact.
7) What if my crown or filling fell out?
Leave the tooth alone as much as you can and don't chew on that side. If you still have the crown, keep it safe and call us—we'll handle getting it back in place.
8) Will I need a root canal or an extraction?
That's not always the answer. We'll examine the tooth and take imaging to get a clear picture before recommending anything—saving it if we can, extracting only if we have to.
9) Do I need antibiotics?
Only when it makes clinical sense. Antibiotics aren't a fix on their own—addressing what's causing the problem is what actually resolves it.
10) How much does an emergency visit cost?
The total depends on what's needed—exam, x-rays, and any treatment involved. We'll give you a clear cost breakdown before moving forward so there are no surprises.
11) Do you take insurance for emergency visits?
Yes, we work with most dental PPO insurance plans and can help you make sense of your benefits. No coverage? We have a Self-Care Savings Plan and payment options that can help.
12) What can I do right now for pain?
Ice on the outside helps with swelling; avoid putting pressure on the tooth. Call us with your symptoms and we'll tell you what to do—we're close to Dayton, OH and can help get you seen quickly.
