What to do while you wait for your Trenton 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.

Should I go to a Trenton hospital ER for tooth pain?

No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Trenton dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.

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.
