- 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.

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Cincinnati?
In most cases, yes. Cincinnati 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.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Cincinnati?
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.
Should I go to a Cincinnati 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 Hamilton County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Cincinnati dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
How do I know the Cincinnati dentist you refer me to is licensed?
Every clinic in the network holds a current Ohio license, which you can check yourself on the state dental board site linked on this page. Tell the operator if you want the practice name before you go.
