What to do while you wait for your Tucson 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: lost crown, bleeding that will not stop, knocked-out tooth.

Tucson emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Tucson dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

Can I get a root canal on the same day in Tucson?
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 Tucson partner dentists can start the same day.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Tucson?
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.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Tucson clinic for treatment you choose to have.
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 Tucson slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can you help if I am visiting Tucson and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Tucson partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
