What to do while you wait for your Buffalo 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.

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.

Yes. Several partner clinics serving Buffalo and Erie County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Buffalo clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.

We always look inside Buffalo first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Erie County, and you can decline any option without charge.

Rinse with warm salt water, keep your head raised and use an over-the-counter painkiller you normally tolerate. Call as soon as the line opens and we book the first Buffalo slot available. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, is an emergency room visit, not a wait.
