Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about same-day emergency dental care in Charlottesville.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Yes. We hold time open each day for dental emergencies. Call our Charlottesville office first thing in the morning at 434-973-5873 and we will do our best to see you the same day.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a dental abscess, swelling, or a lost filling or crown all count. If you are unsure, call us and we will help you decide what to do next.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently. If you can, place it back in the socket or in milk, then call us right away. The first hour matters most.
What can I do for tooth pain until my appointment?
Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed, and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Avoid very hot or cold foods until we can see you.
