What to do while you wait for your Waterford 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.

Waterford emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Waterford dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Waterford clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Waterford?
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 Waterford partner dentists can start the same day.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Waterford?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Waterford network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
How quickly can I be seen in Waterford, MI?
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.
Can you help if I am visiting Waterford and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Waterford partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
