What to do while you wait for your Omaha 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.

Omaha emergency dentist FAQ

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

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Omaha clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Does calling guarantee a dentist in Omaha itself?
We always look inside Omaha first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Douglas County, and you can decline any option without charge.
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 Omaha dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Do Omaha 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 Omaha who treats children.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Omaha?
Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
