What to do while you wait for your Milwaukee 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.

Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Milwaukee County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.

Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Milwaukee who treats children.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Milwaukee?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Milwaukee network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Milwaukee itself?
We always look inside Milwaukee first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Milwaukee County, and you can decline any option without charge.
