How can I relieve tooth pain while waiting to see a dentist?
If you have a mild toothache or your tooth pain has started just recently, there are a few things you can try to relieve the pain. Creating a warm saltwater rinse using a teaspoon of salt and a cup of warm (not hot) water can help to numb the teeth and gums. Crushing up a clove of garlic or dabbing a small amount of vanilla extract onto a cotton ball and applying it to the tooth can also help, as can using an ice pack or over-the-counter pain medication. If the pain ever becomes unbearable, or you develop a fever or have difficulty swallowing, please contact our office immediately. Our emergency dentist can help.

When a dental emergency arises, it is advisable to seek treatment right away, as the longer you wait, the worse the situation can become. For example, if an adult tooth is knocked out, patients only have about an hour to get to an emergency dentist before the tooth cannot be reattached. If you are worried about financing the cost of emergency dental care, our team offers several flexible financing options, including our membership plan and CareCredit®, which we would be happy to discuss with you after your treatment. For more information, feel free to contact our office.
