What to do while you wait for your Shrewsbury 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.

What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Shrewsbury?
Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Shrewsbury clinic for treatment you choose to have.
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 Shrewsbury dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
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 Shrewsbury slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Should I go to a Shrewsbury hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Worcester County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
