What to do while you wait for your Watertown appointment

  • Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
  • Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
  • Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
  • Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Do Watertown 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 Watertown 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 Watertown slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Should I go to a Watertown 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 Jefferson County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Watertown?
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 Watertown partner dentists can start the same day.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Watertown?
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.
