Emergency dentist coverage area in Portland, OR

What to do while you wait for your Portland 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.

Portland emergency dentist FAQ

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

How quickly can I be seen in Portland, OR?
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.
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 Portland dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Portland?
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.
Can you help if I am visiting Portland and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Portland partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
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 Portland slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
