What to do while you wait for your Cincinnati 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: lost crown, wisdom tooth pain, knocked-out tooth.

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.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Cincinnati itself?
We always look inside Cincinnati first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Hamilton County, and you can decline any option without charge.

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.

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.
