What to do while you wait for your West Hartford appointment

  • Pain relief: ibuprofen and acetaminophen taken together, as the labels allow, usually work better than either alone. Avoid heat on the face.
  • Bleeding: bite on clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 20 minutes without checking. If it soaks through repeatedly, tell the operator when you call.
  • Lost filling or crown: keep the crown if you have it. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the tooth until your appointment.
  • Tooth knocked out: do not scrub the root. Put the tooth in milk or hold it in your cheek and get to the dentist within the hour if you can.

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

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in West Hartford?
In most cases, yes. West Hartford 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.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a West Hartford clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.

We always look inside West Hartford first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Capitol Region County, and you can decline any option without charge.

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.
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 West Hartford dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
