What to do while you wait for your New Haven 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.

What if I do not have dental insurance in New Haven?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our New Haven network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in New Haven?
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.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a New Haven clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in New Haven?
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 New Haven partner dentists can start the same day.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in New Haven?
In most cases, yes. New Haven partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
