A knocked-out tooth
Pick it up by the top, not the root. Rinse gently, keep it in milk or in your cheek, and call right away. The first hour matters most.
Emergency visits
Toothache? Same-day emergency visits.
We keep spots open every weekday and Saturday morning for pain, swelling and broken teeth. Calling is the fastest way in.
Call first
A real person answers.
Tell the front desk what happened and when. We'll give you a time today, plus what to do until then.
Mon to Fri 7am to 6pm · Sat 8am to 2pm
After hours, the voicemail gives Dr. Park's on-call number for existing patients.
Go to the ER or call 911 if
- Swelling is making it hard to breathe or swallow
- You have a high fever with facial swelling
- You hit your head or jaw hard enough to lose consciousness
Then call us after. We'll handle the tooth once you're safe.
What counts
What counts as a dental emergency.
If it hurts enough that you're reading this page, it counts. These are the ones we see most.
Bad toothache or swelling
Throbbing pain, a bump on the gum or a swollen cheek usually means infection. Don't wait it out over the weekend.
A broken or cracked tooth
Save any pieces. Rinse with warm water and press a cold pack to your cheek. Avoid chewing on that side.
A lost crown or filling
Keep the crown. A little toothpaste or denture adhesive can hold it in place for a few hours. Don't use superglue.
Bleeding that won't stop
After an extraction or an injury, bite on clean gauze for 20 minutes. If it's still going, call us.
Something stuck and painful
Floss gently. Never use a pin or anything sharp. If it won't come out, we'll get it in five minutes.
Cost
What an emergency visit costs.
The emergency exam and x-ray is $95 to $180 without insurance, and most PPO plans cover it. If we can fix the problem the same day, we will, and you'll see the price before we start.
No insurance? Members of our $29 a month plan get one emergency exam a year included.
Open Saturdays, 8am to 2pm
