What to do right now

Knocked out tooth

Hold it by the crown, the part you chew with, and keep your fingers off the root. Rinse it briefly and try to put it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in milk and call us. The sooner we see you the better, ideally within 30 minutes.

Broken or chipped tooth

Rinse with warm water and save any pieces. A cold compress on the cheek helps with swelling.

Bad toothache

Floss gently around the tooth in case something is stuck. Don't put aspirin on the gum, which can burn it.

Swelling in the face or jaw

Call us right away. Swelling can mean an infection that needs treatment the same day.

Patient stories

What patients say.

Sample reviews written for this demo. A live site would pull real ones from Google.

I hadn't been to a dentist in six years and told them so at the desk. Nobody lectured me. Dr. Sethuraman walked me through the x-rays and we made a plan I could afford.
Jordan M., South EndSample review
Cracked a molar on a Friday morning and was in the chair by noon. They told me the price before they started and it matched the bill.
Alicia R., DilworthSample review
My daughter asks when she gets to go back. That alone tells you how they treat kids here.

Questions people ask

Emergency Dentist, answered.

Straight answers to what patients ask us most.

When should I go to the ER instead?

Go to the emergency room or call 911 for swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, a high fever with facial swelling, or a jaw injury from a fall or car crash. For everything else, call us first.

Can you see me after hours?

Call the main line and choose option 2 to reach the dentist on call. They'll help you manage pain overnight and get you in first thing.

Do I need to be a patient already?

No. We see new patients for emergencies at both offices.
