What to do while you wait for your Charlottesville 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.

Do Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville who treats children.
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 Charlottesville slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
How quickly can I be seen in Charlottesville, VA?
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.
Can you help if I am visiting Charlottesville and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville?
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 Charlottesville partner dentists can start the same day.
