Try to gently place the tooth back in its socket, but if this isn&#8217;t possible, keep it in a glass of milk while you get medical assistance.<\/p> <p>If you are not in severe pain, your teeth are not loose, and your mouth is not bleeding, you probably don&#8217;t require immediate dental care. In these&nbsp;less severe cases you can&nbsp;make a regular dental appointment.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency tooth extraction<\/h3> <p>Only a dentist can tell you if you need emergency tooth removal. Just because you are in a lot of pain, doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that you&#8217;ll need to have an emergency dental extraction. In fact, your dentist will do everything possible to save the tooth before they consider an emergency extraction.<\/p> <p>If you are desperate and the pain is too much to handle until you can see a dentist, you can go to the emergency room. However, you&#8217;ll most likely have to pay a hefty fee and they will only be able to give you painkillers or <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/antibiotics-tooth-infection\/\" target=\"_blank\">antibiotics for tooth infection<\/a>.

They will make sure you aren&#8217;t in a life-threatening situation, and give you something to ease the pain until you can see a dental professional. <\/p> <p>If you need help finding an emergency dentist near you right now, you can call <a class=\"global-phone-link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a> where a live operator can match you with a dentist 24\/7.<\/p> <div class=\"call_widget call_widget_default\"> <div class=\"call_widget__title\"><strong>Find an emergency dentist <span> near you<\/span> now<\/strong><\/div> <div class=\"call_widget__container\"> <p><a class=\"click_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">Click here<\/a> to get connected or call <a class=\"phone_link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a> (toll-free, 24\/7)<\/p> <p><a class=\"call-btn\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">Call A Dentist<\/a><\/div> <\/div> <p>For situations where you <strong>need urgent advice or pain relief<\/strong> but can&#8217;t get to a dentist, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denteractive.com\/user\/public\/emergency?utm_source=dentaly.org&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=emergency_patient_promo&amp;utm_term=emergency_dentist&amp;utm_content=textlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow\">speak to a dentist online<\/a> instead.

If you call out of hours, the answering machine will have more information.<br \/>Another really easy way to find an emergency dentist near you is by calling <a class=\"global-phone-link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a> and you&#8217;ll be connected with an emergency dentist near you who can help you with any dental emergency you&#8217;re experiencing.

The most they can do is give you pain killers until you can see an actual dentist.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1725608397216\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is emergency dental care more expensive?<\/strong> <\/p> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Emergency dental care isn&#8217;t always more expensive than regular care. It may depend on the kind of dentist you visit. If you go to a clinic that specializes in emergencies, the cost might be the same. However, if you need to see your dentist out of their usual hours, they may charge you more.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3> <div class=\"socials_share\"> <ul
