What to do while you wait for your Cedar Rapids appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Cedar Rapids emergency dentist FAQ

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

Should I go to a Cedar Rapids 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 Linn County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Cedar Rapids?
In most cases, yes. Cedar Rapids 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.
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 Cedar Rapids slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do Cedar Rapids emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Cedar Rapids who treats children.
Can you help if I am visiting Cedar Rapids and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Cedar Rapids partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
