Dental emergencies

In pain? Call us now.

We save time every day for urgent visits. Call and we'll find the soonest opening at an office near you and tell you what to do in the meantime.

Go to the ER or call 911 for facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury to the face or jaw.

What to do until you see us

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water and floss gently around the tooth. Over-the-counter pain relief can help. Do not put aspirin on the gums. Call us.

Knocked-out adult tooth

Hold it by the top, not the root. Rinse briefly if dirty, then try to put it back or keep it in milk. Call right away; time matters.

Chipped or broken tooth

Save any pieces, rinse your mouth and use a cold compress for swelling. Call to be seen soon.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown if you have it. Avoid chewing on that side and call for an appointment.

Swelling or abscess

Call us the same day. Swelling can be a sign of infection that needs prompt treatment.

Sports injury

Check for loose or broken teeth and cuts. If there is a head injury or the jaw does not close normally, go to the ER.

General guidance only. Call us for advice about your situation.

We'll get you seen.

Same-week emergency visits at offices across New Jersey. NJ FamilyCare, PPO and self-pay welcome.
