What to do while you wait for your Boston 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.

All of them, from 02108 to 02298 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Suffolk County, we will find the nearest open clinic.

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.

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