What to do while you wait for your Alameda 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.

Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Alameda clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Alameda itself?
We always look inside Alameda first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Alameda County, and you can decline any option without charge.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Alameda?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where an Alameda County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Alameda?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Alameda network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Should I go to an Alameda 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 Alameda County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
