Emergency dentist coverage area in Baltimore, MD

What to do while you wait for your Baltimore 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.

Baltimore emergency dentist FAQ

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

Should I go to a Baltimore hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Baltimore (city) County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
What if I do not have dental insurance in Baltimore?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Baltimore network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Baltimore?
In most cases, yes. Baltimore 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.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Baltimore?
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 Baltimore partner dentists can start the same 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 Baltimore dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
