Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Use floss to gently remove any food trapped between teeth. Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Save any pieces of the tooth. Rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water. Apply gauze to any bleeding for 10 minutes. Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.

Emergency Dental Care FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most during dental emergencies.

A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling that could affect breathing or swallowing, or signs of infection such as a dental abscess. If you're unsure, call us at (616) 245-9830 and we'll help you determine the right course of action.

We reserve time in our schedule specifically for emergency patients. When you call, let us know it's an emergency and we'll do everything we can to see you the same day. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get you in.

The cost depends on the type of emergency and the treatment needed. We accept most major insurance plans and will work with you on payment options. Our priority is to get you out of pain first. We'll discuss costs and treatment plans with you before proceeding.

Pick up the tooth by the crown (the part you see when you smile), not the root. Put it in milk or saliva. Call us immediately.

Yes, a dental abscess is a serious infection that will not resolve on its own. Without treatment, it can spread to the jaw, head, neck, or even into the bloodstream, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms include severe throbbing pain, swelling in the face or cheek, fever, and a foul taste in the mouth. Call us immediately if you suspect an abscess.

We accept most major dental insurance plans for emergency visits, just as we do for regular appointments. Call us at (616) 245-9830 and our team will verify your coverage. Don't let insurance concerns keep you from getting the care you need. We'll work with you to find a solution.
