Having serious trouble with one tooth or several teeth and urgently need to see a dentist? If you are dealing with an oral emergency, know that our patient care team is here to direct you to emergency dental services available in your location. Dental emergencies may consist of bleeding that will not stop, a broken jaw, a broken or chipped tooth, or a serious toothache that will not stop even after taking pain medication. If a dental implant, dentures, or orthodontic treatments become damaged, they too are considered dental emergencies. Any type of oral emergency needs urgent treatment from a dentist as soon as possible, and our patient support team can direct you to emergency dental care in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Can I Receive Dental Treatment for an Emergency?

Depending on how quickly you are able to schedule an appointment, you may be able to be seen by an emergency dentist immediately. It is highly suggested that when you are suffering from an oral emergency, such as a broken or knocked-out tooth, a serious infection, an abscess, or a lost crown or filling, you must act quickly. Don’t wait to see a dentist for treatment, as waiting too long could result in more complications.

Can I Go to the Emergency Room for Oral Emergencies?

It is suggested that you go to an emergency dentist for oral emergencies. However, if you are suffering from serious trauma to the face or head, swelling that is so severe that it impacts your breathing or swallowing, or have uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth, seek immediate medical treatment from the emergency room.

What Dental Clinics Are Open on Sundays?

Most dentists do not offer Sunday office hours. Providers within the EDS network do provide extended hours to treat emergencies, but they may not have weekend hours available. Contact the EDS Support Team to learn more information.

What Questions Will a Dentist Ask Me Before My Appointment?

Some questions that a dentist may ask before your appointment to assess the situation include:

  • What is the level of pain you are experiencing?
  • Is the pain triggered by heat or cold?
  • When did the pain start?
  • Is there any noticeable swelling or discharge?

These questions may help the dentist get a better idea of the root cause of the problem.
