Emergency dental care — FAQ
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or persistent toothache, a knocked-out or cracked tooth, swelling in your face or jaw, uncontrolled bleeding, or an infection with fever. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to an emergency room first.
Can I be seen without insurance?
Yes. Most emergency clinics see uninsured patients and will quote a price before treatment. Ask for the self-pay rate when you call and confirm what the visit covers.
Should I go to an emergency room or a dentist?
A dentist handles tooth and gum problems. Go to an emergency room or call 911 for facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a head injury along with dental damage.
