What to do while you wait for your Lawrence 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: bleeding that will not stop, tooth abscess, broken braces or wire.

Lawrence emergency dentist FAQ

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

Can I get a root canal on the same day in Lawrence?
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 Lawrence partner dentists can start the same day.
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 Lawrence dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Lawrence clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Lawrence clinic for treatment you choose to have.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Lawrence?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Lawrence network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
