What to do while you wait for your West Chicago 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.

Should I go to a West Chicago 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 DuPage County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
How quickly can I be seen in West Chicago, IL?
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.
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 West Chicago slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can you help if I am visiting West Chicago and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a West Chicago partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in West Chicago?
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 West Chicago partner dentists can start the same day.
