What to do while you wait for your Myrtle Beach 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.

How quickly can I be seen in Myrtle Beach, SC?
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.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Myrtle Beach clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Myrtle Beach?
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 Myrtle Beach partner dentists can start the same day.
Which ZIP codes in Myrtle Beach do you cover?
All of them, from 29575 to 29588 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Horry County, we will find the nearest open clinic.
Should I go to a Myrtle Beach 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 Horry County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
