- 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.

Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Boulder clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Boulder?
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 Boulder partner dentists can start the same day.

Typically the same day. Overnight calls are usually booked for the first available slot the next morning, and the operator tells you the time before you hang up.
