What to do while you wait for your Vail 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: bleeding that will not stop, broken braces or wire, lost crown.

Vail emergency dentist FAQ

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

Can I get a root canal on the same day in Vail?
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 Vail partner dentists can start the same day.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Vail clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Which ZIP codes in Vail do you cover?
All of them, from 81657 to 81658 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Eagle County, we will find the nearest open clinic.
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 Vail dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Vail?
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.
