🚨 What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Common reasons to visit an emergency dentist include:
- Severe or sudden tooth pain
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Swollen gums or facial swelling
- Knocked-out or loose tooth
- Dental abscess (pocket of pus caused by infection)
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop
- Lost filling or crown
- Pain after a dental procedure
If you’re wondering, “Is there an emergency dentist open now?” — yes, we offer same-day care and flexible scheduling.
🆘 Emergency Room vs Emergency Dentist
❓ Do emergency rooms have dentists?
No. Hospitals and ERs do not have dentists on staff. They can offer temporary relief (e.g., antibiotics or painkillers), but they won’t fix the dental issue.

❓ Can the ER help with a tooth?
Yes—for pain control or swelling. But they cannot do root canals, extractions, or repair broken teeth.
❓ Will urgent care pull a tooth?
No. Like ERs, urgent care clinics can offer medications, but only a licensed dentist can perform extractions.
💸 How Much Does an Emergency Dentist Cost?
- Emergency exam: $75–$150
- Tooth extraction: $150–$350
- Root canal: $800–$1,500
- Crown replacement: $900+
- Abscess treatment: varies by severity
We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Check out our in-house savings plan if you don’t have insurance.
🦷 Emergency Tooth Extractions
If you’re dealing with an infected, broken, or painful tooth, extraction may be necessary. We provide same-day tooth removal when needed.
FAQs:
- Will a dentist pull an infected tooth the same day? Yes—if it’s safe and infection is manageable.
- Can a dentist refuse emergency treatment? Dentists can decline non-emergency treatment, but true emergencies must be addressed.
- Will the ER drain an abscess tooth? No—they may prescribe antibiotics, but only a dentist can drain or treat the tooth.
🔥 Abscesses, Infections & Swelling
An untreated tooth infection can be life-threatening if it spreads. Common questions include:
- What draws pus out of a tooth abscess?
Dentists may perform an incision and drainage procedure or root canal. - How long does it take for a tooth abscess to turn into sepsis?
In rare cases, it can escalate within days. Seek help immediately if you have fever, swelling, or trouble breathing. - How do you get rid of an abscessed tooth ASAP?
Call us. We offer same-day emergency care and antibiotics when needed. - Does Listerine help a tooth abscess?
No. It may reduce bacteria but won’t treat the infection.
Here’s how abscesses spread and what to watch for (external link to NIH).
🧠 When Infections Get Serious
Be aware of red flag symptoms:
- Fever, chills
- Swelling in face or neck
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
- Confusion or fatigue
- Tooth pain with pressure behind eyes or forehead
These may be signs of:
- Dental sepsis
- Tooth infection spreading to brain or sinuses
- Dental sinusitis
- Tooth-related fistula
If you’re experiencing these, call us and consider going to the ER if symptoms are severe.
🙋 Other Common Emergency Questions
Q: Can you go to a different dentist for an emergency?

Q: Do emergency dentists take insurance?
Yes, most PPO plans are accepted at Tribute Family Dentistry. We’ll check your benefits before treatment begins.
Q: What’s the strongest natural antibiotic for tooth infection?
While garlic and turmeric are commonly cited, only prescription antibiotics effectively treat dental infections.

A small pimple-like bump that drains pus from an infection in your gum or tooth root.
Q: What does a really bad abscessed tooth look like?
It may be swollen, red, draining pus, or visibly decayed.
