What to do while you wait for your Memphis appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Should I go to a Memphis 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 Shelby County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Do Memphis 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 Memphis who treats children.
Can you help if I am visiting Memphis and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Memphis partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Memphis?
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 Memphis partner dentists can start the same day.
