Emergencies we can help with

If it hurts, is broken, or is swelling, it's worth a call. These are the most common reasons Chesapeake residents reach out.

Severe toothache

Throbbing or constant pain that keeps you up at night often means an infection or deep decay that needs attention.

Broken or chipped tooth

Cracks and breaks can expose the nerve. Getting seen quickly can save the tooth.

Knocked-out tooth

Time matters most here. A tooth replanted within about an hour has the best chance of surviving.

Abscess or swelling

A swollen gum, face or jaw can signal an infection that shouldn't wait.

Lost filling or crown

An exposed tooth is sensitive and can break further. A dentist can protect it fast.

Wisdom tooth pain

Pressure, swelling or pain in the back of the mouth from an impacted or infected wisdom tooth.

How it works

One phone call, no searching through dozens of offices.

What to do while you wait

General first-aid tips. They don't replace care from a dentist.

ToothacheRinse with warm salt water, gently floss around the tooth, and use an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Don't put aspirin on the gum.
Knocked-out toothHold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse briefly, then keep it in milk or tucked in your cheek and call right away.
Broken toothRinse your mouth, save any pieces, and use a cold compress on your cheek to reduce swelling.
Lost filling or crownKeep the crown if you have it. Dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the spot temporarily. Avoid chewing on that side.
Go to the ER or call 911 for facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, bleeding that won't stop, a high fever with dental swelling, or a jaw injury from a serious accident.
