What to do while you wait for your Scranton 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.

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 Scranton partner dentists can start the same day.
What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Scranton slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Scranton itself?
We always look inside Scranton first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Lackawanna 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 Scranton dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
How quickly can I be seen in Scranton, 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.
