What to do while you wait for your Summit appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Summit emergency dentist FAQ

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

Should I go to a Summit 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 Union County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Summit itself?
We always look inside Summit first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Union County, and you can decline any option without charge.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Summit?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Union County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Summit clinic for treatment you choose to have.
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 Summit slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
