What to do while you wait for your New Castle 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.

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in New Castle?
In most cases, yes. New Castle 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 New Castle clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
How quickly can I be seen in New Castle, DE?
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.
Should I go to a New Castle 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 New Castle County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in New Castle?
Yes. Several partner clinics serving New Castle and New Castle County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
