What to do while you wait for your Bessemer appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
Can you help if I am visiting Bessemer and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Bessemer partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Should I go to a Bessemer hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Jefferson County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.

In most cases, yes. Bessemer partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
