When to Call — Common Dental Emergencies

If you're experiencing any of the following, call us at (206) 539-1725. We'll tell you whether to come in today, this week, or what to do at home.

🔥

Severe Tooth Pain

Throbbing or sharp pain that won't quit, especially when biting or with hot/cold. Almost always means an infection or nerve issue we can fix today.

🤿

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth from biting, trauma, or accident. We can usually repair the same day with bonding, a crown, or a temporary fix.

🙏

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time-critical — call us within 30–60 minutes for the best chance at saving the tooth. Keep it moist (milk, not water) on your way in.

🌱

Abscess or Swelling

A bump on the gum, facial swelling, or fever can mean a spreading infection. Don't wait — abscesses need same-day treatment.

🔐

Lost Crown or Filling

If a crown or filling falls out, save it if you can. We can usually re-cement the same day. Don't chew on that side until you're seen.

🛍

Trauma or Injury

Any blow to the face or mouth — sports, fall, accident. Even if no tooth is visibly damaged, you should be evaluated to rule out hidden fractures.

How an Emergency Visit Works

Fast, focused care to stop the pain and protect your tooth.

1

Call (206) 539-1725

Tell us what happened. We triage over the phone and can usually offer a same-day appointment within hours. We'll tell you what to do at home until you get here.

2

Pain Relief First

When you arrive, we focus on stopping pain and stabilizing the situation — numb the area, drain an abscess, splint a tooth, or apply a temporary filling.

3

Diagnostic Scan

Digital X-ray and exam to see exactly what's going on under the gumline. We'll show you the image on the screen and explain in plain English.

4

Treatment Plan & Quote

Same visit if it's quick (filling, re-cementing a crown, drainage); follow-up appointment if it needs more time (root canal, crown, extraction). Written quote before any work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or chipped tooth, an abscess or facial swelling, a lost crown or filling, a broken denture, or any oral injury after trauma. If you’re not sure, call us — we’ll triage over the phone and tell you whether you need to come in today, this week, or whether home care is enough.
Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
Yes. We hold time slots open every weekday for emergencies. Call (206) 539-1725 in the morning and we can usually see you the same day. For severe pain, swelling, or trauma we make every effort to get you in within hours, not days.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root). If it’s dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline — don’t scrub. If you can, place it back into the socket. If not, store it in a cup of milk (NOT water). Call us immediately at (206) 539-1725 — re-implantation success drops sharply after 60 minutes.
What should I do for severe tooth pain right now?
Rinse with warm salt water, take ibuprofen (if you can), and apply a cold compress to the outside of your face for swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gum — it can cause chemical burns. Call (206) 539-1725 to be seen the same day. Severe pain almost always points to a treatable cause we can fix quickly.
What if I have facial swelling or fever?
Call us immediately at (206) 539-1725. Swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing/breathing can indicate a spreading infection that needs urgent care. If you can’t reach us and symptoms are severe — especially difficulty breathing — go to your nearest emergency room.
How much does emergency dental care cost?
An emergency exam with X-rays is generally a few hundred dollars; treatment cost depends on what’s needed (a temporary filling is far less than a root canal or extraction). We provide a written quote before doing any work. We’re in-network with Delta Dental and accept most other PPOs as out-of-network with claim filing. CareCredit and in-house payment plans are available.
Will my insurance cover an emergency visit?
Most PPO plans cover emergency exams, X-rays, and basic palliative treatment — sometimes at a higher reimbursement rate than routine care. Call (206) 539-1725 with your insurance details and we’ll verify your benefits before your visit.
