What to do while you wait for your Honolulu appointment

  • Pain relief: ibuprofen and acetaminophen taken together, as the labels allow, usually work better than either alone. Avoid heat on the face.
  • Bleeding: bite on clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 20 minutes without checking. If it soaks through repeatedly, tell the operator when you call.
  • Lost filling or crown: keep the crown if you have it. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the tooth until your appointment.
  • Tooth knocked out: do not scrub the root. Put the tooth in milk or hold it in your cheek and get to the dentist within the hour if you can.

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

Yes. Several partner clinics serving Honolulu and Honolulu County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
