- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Duluth emergency dentist FAQ
Need a Duluth dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
Should I go to a Duluth 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 St. Louis County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Duluth?
In most cases, yes. Duluth 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.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Duluth?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a St. Louis County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
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 Duluth dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Do Duluth emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Duluth who treats children.
