What to do while you wait for your Pittsburgh appointment
- Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
- Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
- Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
- Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Does calling guarantee a dentist in Pittsburgh itself?
We always look inside Pittsburgh first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Allegheny County, and you can decline any option without charge.
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 Pittsburgh dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Should I go to a Pittsburgh 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 Allegheny County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.

Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Pittsburgh clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
How quickly can I be seen in Pittsburgh, PA?
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.
