## Frequently Asked Questions
**When should I go to the emergency room for tooth pain?**
Emergency rooms and hospitals do not treat tooth issues. Emergency physicians are not trained in dental practice. Schedule an appointment with Emergency Dental of America as soon as possible.
**Do you take walk-in dental emergencies?**
Yes. However, we prefer to schedule formal appointments because we give first preference to appointed patients. This minimizes potential wait times in case of emergency.
**When are you open?**
We are open 7 days per week and most of our locations; Monday through Sunday from 9 AM to 9 PM. We can see you the same day if you call before 7:30 PM each evening.
For more information on the opening hours of each of our locations, please visit our contact page.
**Do you have payment plans?**
Yes. Ask us for more information during your appointment or view our flexible financing options online.
**Do you speak Spanish?**
Some members of our staff do speak Spanish. Availability depends on staffing at the time of the appointment. Please call us prior to your visit so that we may accommodate you.
**My tooth was knocked out. Can you help?**
Yes, we can help preserve your tooth. When you come to the office, bring the broken or lost tooth with you. We will take immediate steps to save the tooth and repair the injury.
It is important that you see a dentist as soon as this happens. The preservation of the tooth depends on the timeliness.
**How should I deal with swelling?**
Jaw or gum swelling is usually an indication of an infection. It is important to have any infection addressed by a dentist as soon as possible. Lingering infections in the mouth can have long-term health effects if left untreated over time.
Follow these tips when caring for yourself at home:
Don’t chew on the side of the infected tooth & avoid hot or cold foods and beverages as your tooth may be sensitive to the temperature.
Put oil of cloves directly on the tooth to relieve pain. You can buy oil of cloves at drugstores.
Place a cold pack on your jaw over the sore area. This will help to reduce inflammation and temporarily create a numbing effect. If you’d like, you can gently massage the numbed cheek externally to help ease some of the pain.
You may use over-the-counter medication to ease the pain unless another medicine was prescribed. If you have chronic liver or kidney disease, talk with your health care provider before using acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Also, talk with your provider if you’ve had a stomach ulcer or GI bleeding.
**I'm terrified of going to the dentist. Do you offer sedation dentistry?**
Most of our offices offer some form of sedation dentistry. Please contact the Emergency Dental office near you for more information.
**I have a broken or chipped tooth. What should I do?**
If your tooth is broken, chipped, or fractured, see your dentist as soon as possible. The inside of the tooth can be exposed to outside elements which can cause it to be damaged further, infected, or lead to the loss of the tooth.
An easy way to protect a tooth while you wait to visit the dentist is to place a piece of sugar-free gum over the damaged tooth.
Treatment for a broken or chipped tooth will depend on how severely it is damaged. If only a small piece of enamel broke off, the repair can usually be done simply in one office visit. A badly damaged or broken tooth may require a more lengthy procedure or removal of the tooth.
**Do root canals hurt?**
Generally, no. Dentistry has developed technologies in the last 10 years that have made doing a root canal very seamless and comfortable, similar to doing a filling. We also use local anesthetic to numb the area before the procedure begins.
 
**Should I be worried if my teeth are sensitive to heat or cold?**
If the sensitivity is getting worse over time, it is a good idea to have a dentist check it out.
Sometimes, you can just be a little too hard on your teeth. Try changing toothpaste brands and avoid whitening options, as they can weaken the enamel on your teeth causing them to become sensitive. You may even be brushing your teeth too hard, so try brushing more gently or using a toothbrush with softer bristles.
**Can I bring a child in for a dental visit?**
We don’t see children under the age of 10 because children require special attention and their tooth anatomies are different than an adult’s. Children are usually treated by children’s dentists called pedodontists who specialize in the dental care of children.  
**What makes Emergency Dental of America different from a family dentist?**
Not much. We are a family dental practice that has much more convenience. Our office hours and ability to bring patients into our clinics during weekends, evenings, and holidays allow our patients to get the care they need at almost any time.
Our dentists also provide the same restorative and preventative dentistry that patients would receive from a general practitioner.
