What to do while you wait for your Providence 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.

Providence emergency dentist FAQ
Need a Providence dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
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 Providence dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Providence clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
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 Providence slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Providence?
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.
Do Providence emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Providence who treats children.
