What to do while you wait for your Harrisburg appointment

  • Pain relief: ibuprofen and acetaminophen taken together, as the labels allow, usually work better than either alone. Avoid heat on the face.
  • Bleeding: bite on clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 20 minutes without checking. If it soaks through repeatedly, tell the operator when you call.
  • Lost filling or crown: keep the crown if you have it. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the tooth until your appointment.
  • Tooth knocked out: do not scrub the root. Put the tooth in milk or hold it in your cheek and get to the dentist within the hour if you can.

Read the full first-aid guides: severe toothache, broken braces or wire, bleeding that will not stop.

Should I go to a Harrisburg 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 Dauphin County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Harrisburg?
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.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Harrisburg?
In most cases, yes. Harrisburg 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.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Harrisburg?
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 Harrisburg partner dentists can start the same day.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Harrisburg?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Harrisburg network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
