🚨 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?
Yes. Even if you’re not a regular patient, we welcome walk-ins and new patients with urgent needs.

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.

Q: What is a dental fistula?
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.
