- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Denver emergency dentist FAQ
Need a Denver dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Denver slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Denver dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Denver?
In most cases, yes. Denver partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Denver?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Denver network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Can you help if I am visiting Denver and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Denver partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
