Emergency Dentist FAQs

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, a suspected infection, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma to the mouth. When in doubt, just call us.
Can you see me the same day?
We prioritize emergencies and work to get you in as quickly as possible. Same-day treatment is sometimes possible; if not, we focus on relief, stabilizing the area, and a clear plan forward. We're near Dayton and see urgent cases regularly—don't wait it out.
Should I call or book online?
Online booking works for most emergencies. For severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a knocked-out or broken tooth, calling is the better option so we can triage you right away. Dayton patients with active pain or swelling should always call — don't wait on an online form.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Time matters. Grip the tooth by the crown, rinse gently if needed, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in milk or saliva and call us right away.
What should I do if I have swelling or think I have an infection?
Call as soon as possible—swelling can worsen fast. Use a cold compress and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums; for difficulty breathing or severe facial swelling, call 911 or go to the ER.
What if I have a broken tooth or cracked tooth?
Avoid chewing on that side and call us. We'll evaluate the damage and recommend the safest option to protect the tooth.
What if my crown or filling fell out?
Keep the area clean and avoid putting pressure on that tooth. Save the crown if you have it and call us so we can take care of it.
Will I need a root canal or an extraction?
Not always. After a thorough exam and imaging, we'll explain whether the tooth can be saved or if extraction is the best path forward.
Do I need antibiotics?
Not always. Antibiotics are recommended only when clinically appropriate; getting to the source of the problem is what actually resolves it.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
Cost depends on the exam, imaging, and treatment involved. We walk you through options and estimated costs before starting treatment whenever possible.
Do you take insurance for emergency visits?
Yes, we work with many dental PPO plans and will help you make the most of your benefits. No insurance? Ask about our Self-Care Savings Plan and payment options.
What can I do right now for pain?
Use a cold compress for swelling and avoid chewing on the sore tooth. Call us and we'll point you in the right direction. Dayton patients — we're close, so don't hesitate to just come in.
