What to do while you wait for your Saint Louis appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

How quickly can I be seen in Saint Louis, MO?
Typically the same day. Overnight calls are usually booked for the first available slot the next morning, and the operator tells you the time before you hang up.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Saint Louis?
In most cases, yes. Saint Louis 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.
Do Saint Louis 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 Saint Louis who treats children.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Saint Louis?
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 Saint Louis partner dentists can start the same day.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Saint Louis clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
