What to do while you wait for your Nashville 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.

Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Nashville?
In most cases, yes. Nashville partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
How quickly can I be seen in Nashville, TN?
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 Nashville clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Nashville itself?
We always look inside Nashville first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Davidson County, and you can decline any option without charge.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Nashville?
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 Nashville partner dentists can start the same day.
