What to do while you wait for your District Heights 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.

Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Prince George's County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
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 District Heights slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do District Heights 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 District Heights who treats children.
Can you help if I am visiting District Heights and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a District Heights partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Which ZIP codes in District Heights do you cover?
All of them, from 20747 to 20753 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Prince George's County, we will find the nearest open clinic.
