What to do while you wait for your Elkton 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.

You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Elkton network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.

No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of an Elkton dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
