What to do while you wait for your Columbus appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Can you help if I am visiting Columbus and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Columbus partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.

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.

You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Columbus network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
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 Columbus slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Columbus clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
