What to do while you wait for your Stratford 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.

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Stratford?
In most cases, yes. Stratford 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.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Stratford?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Stratford network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Should I go to a Stratford 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 Connecticut Metropolitan County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Do Stratford emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Stratford who treats children.
Can you help if I am visiting Stratford and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Stratford partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
