- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.

Can I get a root canal on the same day in Pinehurst?
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 Pinehurst partner dentists can start the same day.
Can you help if I am visiting Pinehurst and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Pinehurst partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Should I go to a Pinehurst 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 Moore County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Pinehurst?
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.
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 Pinehurst slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
