What to do while you wait for your Bethlehem appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • 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.
  • Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Bethlehem network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Bethlehem clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.

Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Northampton County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
