Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do about a toothache over the weekend or at night?
Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever to manage discomfort. Call our office first thing when we open, if the pain is severe or accompanied by swelling, that's a sign of infection and should not be delayed. Waiting rarely makes a dental emergency better.
What if I don’t have insurance? Can I still be seen for an emergency?
We welcome all emergency patients in Jacksonville and beyond, regardless of insurance status. Many insurance plans do cover emergency dental visits, and we offer flexible payment options so cost doesn't stop you from getting the care you need.
My tooth got knocked out. What should I do right now?
Keep the tooth moist immediately, store it in milk or tuck it between your cheek and gum, avoid touching the root, and get to our office as fast as possible. Time is critical when it comes to saving a knocked-out tooth.
Can I get seen the same day for a dental emergency?
We strive to offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent situations. Call us as early in the day as possible at (904) 736-7199, the sooner you reach us, the better the chances of getting you in quickly
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, dental infections, knocked-out or broken teeth, and uncontrolled bleeding are all dental emergencies that need prompt care. If you're in significant pain or something doesn't look right, it's better to call and let us help you decide. Don't wait it out.
