What to do while you wait for your Hartford appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • 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.

Read the full first-aid guides: severe toothache, bleeding that will not stop, broken braces or wire.

Hartford emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Hartford dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

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 Hartford dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Do Hartford emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Hartford who treats children.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Hartford?
Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Hartford partner dentists can start the same day.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Hartford?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Capitol Region County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
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 Hartford slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
