Emergency Dentist in Gastonia, NC

In pain or broke a tooth? Call 704-864-6721. We see dental emergencies the same day whenever possible.

Call 704-864-6721 as early in the day as you can. We set aside time for same-day emergency visits. Call us first and we'll fit you in the same day. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading to your eye or neck, go to the emergency room or call 911 first.

What to Do Until You Get Here

Toothache

Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss around the tooth. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Don't put aspirin on the gum.

Broken or chipped tooth

Save any pieces and rinse your mouth. Cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax.

Knocked-out tooth

Hold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently, then keep it in milk or tucked in your cheek. Come in within an hour if you can.

Swelling

Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Swelling can mean infection, so call us the same day.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the crown. Dental cement from a pharmacy can hold it temporarily. Avoid chewing on that side.

Bleeding after an injury

Press clean gauze firmly on the area for 10 minutes. If it won't stop, call us or seek urgent care.
