What to do while you wait for your Chesapeake 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.

Chesapeake emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Chesapeake dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

Should I go to a Chesapeake 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 Chesapeake (city) County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
How quickly can I be seen in Chesapeake, 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.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Chesapeake?
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.
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 Chesapeake slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Chesapeake clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
