Emergency dental care in
Wethersfield & Enfield

Toothache, a broken tooth, swelling or a lost crown. Call us and we’ll tell you the earliest appointment we can genuinely offer — and which of our two offices is open today.

If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury, seek emergency medical care immediately. Those need a hospital, not a dental office. More on which to choose ›

What we treat

Most dental emergencies, same practice.

Diagnosed with 3D imaging on site, and treated here rather than referred elsewhere wherever we can.

Severe toothache

Persistent or throbbing pain, pain when biting, or pain that wakes you at night.

Broken or chipped tooth

Fractures from injury or biting down, including teeth broken at the gum line.

Abscess or infection

Swelling, a bad taste, or a painful bump on the gum. These do not resolve on their own.

Lost crown or filling

An exposed tooth is sensitive and vulnerable. We can usually re-secure or replace it.

Knocked-out tooth

Keep it moist and call immediately — time matters more here than with anything else.

Urgent extraction

When a tooth cannot be saved, removal is handled in-house by an oral-surgery-trained dentist.

What happens

Call, and we’ll be straight with you.

We don’t promise an appointment we can’t keep. When you call, we check the day’s schedule and tell you honestly what’s available.

While you wait

Before your appointment

Toothache — rinse with warm salt water. Over-the-counter pain relief taken as directed on the packet can help. Don’t hold aspirin against the gum.

Knocked-out tooth — handle it by the crown, not the root. Keep it in milk or saliva. Do not scrub it.

Broken tooth — rinse gently, and use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek to limit swelling.

Swelling — call us the same day. Swelling that spreads towards the eye or throat needs emergency medical care.

Emergency questions

Answered honestly.

Do you accept walk-in emergency patients?
Please call ahead before visiting so we can confirm availability and prepare for your arrival. Walk-in care depends on the clinical team’s availability and cannot be guaranteed.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Same-day care may be available during regular office hours. Call and we’ll confirm the earliest appointment we can genuinely offer rather than guessing.
Can I call after hours or at the weekend?
Both offices are closed Saturday and Sunday. For a genuine after-hours emergency, call and when a doctor or team member is available we will guide you or help arrange the appropriate next step. For trouble breathing or swallowing, severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or serious injury, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Should I go to the emergency room instead?
A hospital emergency room is the right place for facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing. For a broken tooth, a lost crown, an abscess or severe toothache, a dental office can usually treat the cause rather than just the pain. The full comparison ›
How much does emergency dental care cost?
It depends on what is needed — an exam and X-rays, a filling, a root canal and an extraction all carry different fees. We explain costs clearly before beginning treatment. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans, and CareCredit and Cherry financing are available.
Do you treat children in an emergency?
Yes. We see children as well as adults, and the practice offers pediatric care alongside general and emergency dentistry.

Don’t wait it out.

Dental pain rarely settles on its own, and an infection left alone gets harder to treat. Call and we’ll tell you where you stand.
