What to do while you wait for your Clanton appointment
- Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Clanton?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Chilton County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Do Clanton emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Clanton who treats children.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Clanton?
Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Clanton partner dentists can start the same day.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Clanton dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Should I go to a Clanton 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 Chilton County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
