Emergency walk-in dentist near you

You don’t have to live with ongoing discomfort or pain. While over-the-counter pain relievers and avoiding very hot or cold foods may offer temporary relief, if you’re experiencing a severe toothache or ongoing pain, call or walk into the office immediately. Your local Aspen Dental care team will then identify the root cause of the pain—issues such as lost fillings, hot or cold sensitivity or a dental infection—and provide a plan to protect your tooth and manage your pain.

If you have a broken, chipped or cracked tooth, it should be addressed immediately. The rough edges of your tooth can cause further damage to your mouth, and if left untreated, the damage to your tooth can worsen. As a first aid measure, you can gently rinse your mouth and cover any sharp edges with dental wax until you can come in for a visit. Make sure to avoid hard foods until you visit your emergency walk-in Aspen Dental dentist.

If a tooth has been knocked out, immediately pick it up by the crown (the chewing surface). Gently rinse in a bowl of water or milk without scrubbing it, and attempt to place it back in the socket, if possible. If you cannot reinsert it, keep your tooth moist—ideally in milk—and come in right away. The sooner you come in, the more likely we can help restore your knocked-out tooth. When you visit your local Aspen Dental office, our team will conduct a full exam to assess the damage and begin necessary repairs. 

Bleeding or swollen gums can be early signs of infection or inflammation and shouldn’t be ignored. If you’re experiencing bleeding, applying gentle pressure with clean gauze may help until you’re seen.

Getting care promptly can help prevent infection from spreading and avoid more serious health concerns. You can walk in or schedule an appointment with your local Aspen Dental office, where our care team can diagnose the issue and begin treatment to get you comfortable again.

If you have a broken denture, please do not attempt to fix it on your own. Instead, bring your denture into your local Aspen Dental office immediately. With fast denture repairs, we can either help you restore your denture or help match you with the right replacement denture. During your visit, your care team will assess the damage and provide a personalized care plan based on your needs. 

Pain in the upper teeth can sometimes be related to sinus issues rather than a tooth problem. If you are experiencing pain that you suspect is related to sinus pressure, your Aspen Dental dentist can conduct an exam, often with an X-ray, to check your teeth and rule out a dental issue, before recommending appropriate follow-up care.

Swelling or pain near the back of the jaw is a common sign of wisdom teeth issues. An emergency dental exam can confirm the status of your wisdom teeth to help inform the best next steps to get you relief. When you come in, your Aspen Dental dentist will outline what’s recommended for your needs, which may include emergency tooth extraction to alleviate the pain and prevent future issues.
