What to do while you wait for your Ithaca 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.

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 Ithaca slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Ithaca?
In most cases, yes. Ithaca 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.
Should I go to an Ithaca 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 Tompkins County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Ithaca?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Tompkins County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when an Ithaca clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
