Saturday and Sunday Emergency Visits
On Saturday and Sunday the office sees emergencies only. Call to ask about an opening, and describe what is wrong so the office can tell you whether and how soon you can be seen. The office hours are listed at the top of this page.
What to Do Until You Can Be Seen
These general first aid steps are based on the American Dental Association’s guidance on dental emergencies and can help until you can be seen.
Toothache
For a severe toothache, rinse with warm water, gently floss out trapped food, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever, following the label directions. Do not put aspirin on the tooth or gums.
Broken or cracked tooth
For a broken or cracked tooth, rinse with warm water, hold a cold compress on your cheek, and save any pieces. Chew on the other side of your mouth.
Lost filling or crown
For a lost filling or crown, keep the crown in a clean container and avoid chewing on that side. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the spot short term, following the package directions.
Swelling or possible abscess
For swelling or a possible abscess, rinse gently with warm water and hold a cold compress on your cheek. If the swelling spreads or you have a high fever, go to the ER.
When to Go to the ER on a Weekend
For a knocked-out adult tooth when the dental office is closed, the American Dental Association advises going to your local emergency room, because the tooth needs care within about an hour. Go to the ER on any day for the signs below.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you have:
- trouble breathing or swallowing
- swelling that is spreading toward your eye, neck, or throat
- bleeding that does not stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure
- a possible broken jaw
- a head injury
What to Have Ready When You Call
When you call, have this ready:
- What happened and when
- Your symptoms, such as pain, swelling, or bleeding
- Your insurance information
- Any medications you take
