In the meantime, you can try the following until you arrive at our office:

• Take over-the-counter pain relief: Use only as directed to manage pain until you’re seen.
• Do not place aspirin on the tooth or gums: This can damage the tissue.
• Visit urgent care for antibiotics: If an infection is present, a provider may prescribe medication to help manage the infection and relieve pain until you can see us.

For patients experiencing severe trauma, bleeding that won’t stop, or signs of infection spreading (such as difficulty breathing or swallowing), please call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room immediately.
