What to do while you wait for your Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis?
In most cases, yes. Indianapolis 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.
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 Indianapolis dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Indianapolis clinic for treatment you choose to have.
How quickly can I be seen in Indianapolis, IN?
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.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Indianapolis clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
