What to do while you wait for your Rochester appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: severe toothache, bleeding that will not stop, knocked-out tooth.

Rochester emergency dentist FAQ

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

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 Rochester 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 Rochester slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Rochester?
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 Rochester partner dentists can start the same day.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Rochester itself?
We always look inside Rochester first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Strafford County, and you can decline any option without charge.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Rochester?
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.
