What to do while you wait for your Champaign 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.

Champaign emergency dentist FAQ

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

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Champaign?
In most cases, yes. Champaign 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.
Should I go to a Champaign 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 Champaign County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Champaign itself?
We always look inside Champaign first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Champaign County, and you can decline any option without charge.
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 Champaign dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Champaign slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
