What to do while you wait for your Detroit 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.

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Detroit?
In most cases, yes. Detroit partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
What do I do if it starts hurting in the middle of the night?
Rinse with warm salt water, keep your head raised and use an over-the-counter painkiller you normally tolerate. Call as soon as the line opens and we book the first Detroit slot available. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, is an emergency room visit, not a wait.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Detroit clinic for treatment you choose to have.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in Detroit?
Yes. Several partner clinics serving Detroit and Wayne County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
Can you help if I am visiting Detroit and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Detroit partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
