Is It a Dental Emergency? Find Your Symptom.
Find what is happening in the table. It tells you how fast to call and what to do before you get here.
| What Happened | How Fast To Call | What To Do Right Now |
|---|---|---|
| Adult tooth knocked out | Call now. An hour or less gives the tooth its best odds. | Hold it by the chewing surface, never the root. Dirty? Dip it briefly in milk. Slide it back into the gap and bite on folded gauze or a washcloth, or carry it in a cup of milk. |
| Baby tooth knocked out | Call today | Leave it out. Press gauze on the spot if it bleeds. |
| Tooth knocked loose or out of line | Call now | Leave it where it sits. Bite softly on a folded towel so it stays put. |
| Swollen gum, jaw or face | Call now. Swelling often means infection. | Hold an ice pack against your cheek. Skip heat packs. |
| Toothache that keeps you up | Call today | Swish warm salt water, floss around the tooth, and take an over-the-counter painkiller following the package dosing. Never hold a pill against the gum. |
| Broken or split tooth with pain | Call today | Keep the broken piece. Rinse with warm water and put dental wax or sugar-free gum over any sharp edge. |
| Bleeding that will not stop | Call now | Press folded gauze or a wet tea bag firmly on the spot and hold it 15 to 20 minutes without peeking. |
| Crown or filling came out and the tooth hurts | Call today | Seal the crown in a small bag. Do not glue it back on. |
| Tiny chip, no pain | Can wait for a regular visit | Cover any rough spot with wax and book soon. |
| Crown or filling came out, no pain | Can wait for a regular visit | Keep the crown and chew on the other side. |
| Mild sensitivity or a dull ache that pain relievers control | Can wait for a regular visit | Book an appointment. Call sooner if it gets worse. |
| Cracked night guard, retainer or aligner | Can wait for a regular visit | Stop wearing it if it has a sharp crack. Bring it with you. |
Skip the Dentist and Go to the ER or Call 911 If:
- Breathing or swallowing is hard.
- Swelling is moving up toward the eye or down the neck.
- A high fever comes with facial swelling.
- The jaw may be broken or there was a blow to the head.
- Bleeding is heavy and pressure is not slowing it.
A hospital can manage these. A dental office cannot.

Questions About Emergency Dental Care?
Yes. Nampa Smiles Downtown opens at 7:00 AM Monday through Saturday, so a tooth that breaks Friday night does not have to wait until Monday. Call 208-466-2456 as early as you can. Saturday hours for South Nampa and Greenhurst are listed higher up on this page.
No. A puffy gum, jaw or cheek can signal infection. So can a small bump on the gum that looks like a pimple, or throbbing pain that keeps you awake. Infections do not clear on their own and can spread. Call the same day, and go to the ER if swelling reaches your eye or neck.
Within an hour gives the best chance of saving an adult tooth. Keep it moist the whole way, ideally back in its socket or in a cup of milk, and handle it only by the top. Call Nampa Smiles Downtown at 208-466-2456 or your closest office while someone else drives.
Urgent care and the ER can prescribe pain relief or antibiotics, but they cannot repair the tooth causing the problem. For a toothache, broken tooth or lost crown, call a dentist first. Save the ER for breathing or swallowing problems, swelling near the eye or neck, or a jaw that may be broken.
Put the crown in a small bag or case and bring it along. If the tooth underneath does not hurt, it can usually wait for the next regular appointment. If it hurts, or part of the tooth broke off with the crown, call the same day. Never glue a crown back on with household glue.
