What to do while you wait for your Nashville appointment
- Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

How much does an emergency dentist cost in Nashville, TN?
Emergency dental fees in Nashville vary by clinic and by how complex the treatment is, but they are rarely higher than a routine visit. Most Nashville dentists charge their standard fee, occasionally with a small after-hours surcharge. Ask the operator for the clinic's price range before you book. Every partner quotes the exam fee up front.
| Treatment | Nashville range (no insurance) | With insurance (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency exam + X-ray | $120–$280 | $0–$50 copay |
| Simple extraction | $180–$450 | 20–50% of fee |
| Abscess drainage | $250–$600 | 20–50% of fee |
| Root canal | $900–$1,700 | 30–50% of fee |
| Temporary crown | $120–$350 | 50% of fee |

No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Nashville dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.

Yes. Several partner clinics serving Nashville and Davidson County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.

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.
