What to do while you wait for your Tempe appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Which ZIP codes in Tempe do you cover?
All of them, from 85280 to 85288 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Maricopa County, we will find the nearest open clinic.
What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Tempe slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.

Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Tempe partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Tempe?
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 Tempe partner dentists can start the same day.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Tempe?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Maricopa County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
