What to do while you wait for your Asheville 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 an Asheville 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 Buncombe County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in Asheville?
Yes. Several partner clinics serving Asheville and Buncombe 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.
How quickly can I be seen in Asheville, NC?
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.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Asheville?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Buncombe County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Asheville?
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 Asheville partner dentists can start the same day.
