What to do while you wait for your Potomac 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.

Can you help if I am visiting Potomac and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Potomac partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.

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 Potomac clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Potomac?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Potomac network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Potomac?
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 Potomac partner dentists can start the same day.
