What counts as a dental emergency

If you’re not sure whether it’s an emergency, call us anyway. We’ll help you figure out the next step.

  • Pain that won’t quitSevere or throbbing tooth pain, including pain that keeps you up at night, is a reason to call.
  • Broken or knocked-out teethA cracked, chipped, or knocked-out tooth should be looked at promptly.
  • Swelling or injurySwelling in your gums, jaw, or face is a reason to call.

What to do right now

First, call us at (501) 448-2386. We’ll talk you through what’s happening and tell you what to do before you arrive.

If a tooth has been knocked out, pick it up by the crown — not the root — and gently rinse it if it’s dirty. If you can, place it back in the socket and hold it there, or keep it tucked in a little milk until you reach us.

For a broken tooth, rinse with warm water and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to ease swelling. For pain, an over-the-counter pain reliever can help in the meantime.

When to go to the ER instead

For anything life-threatening — trouble breathing or swallowing, a serious facial injury, or bleeding that won’t stop — call 911 or go to the emergency room. For tooth pain, broken teeth, and swelling, calling a dentist first is usually the faster way to the right care.

Cost, insurance and financing

We’re in-network with several insurance plans, and each plan has its own fee schedule. What you pay depends on your plan and the treatment you need. We’ll go over the cost with you before you start. If we’re not in your network, we’re still happy to see you, and we’ll file the claim if your plan has out-of-network benefits.
