How this referral service works

  1. Call (877) 870-6193 and describe your dental problem.
  2. We connect you with an independent local dentist.
  3. That dentist assesses your situation and discusses next steps with you directly.

Emergency Dentist does not provide dental treatment itself. The dentists we connect you with operate independently, and you should verify licensing and insurance requirements that apply in your area before treatment.

When to call for urgent dental help

Call promptly for severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling in the face or gum, bleeding that will not slow, a lost crown or filling, or an injury to the mouth or jaw. If breathing or swallowing is affected, or bleeding is uncontrolled, seek urgent medical care or call emergency services right away.
