We are here to help

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies happen, and when they do, you need care quickly. Whether it's sudden tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken restoration, The Holistic Dental Center is here to help you get relief as soon as possible. Call us at (509) 325-2051 right away if you're dealing with a dental emergency.

When you call with an urgent concern, our team will work to see you quickly, often the same day. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons will assess the problem, manage your pain, and recommend the right treatment to resolve the issue. We'll explain what's happening and what to expect every step of the way.

Why Prompt Emergency Care Matters

Reduces pain faster. Quick treatment helps address discomfort sooner rather than waiting it out.

Prevents bigger problems. Addressing an issue right away can often prevent it from becoming more serious or costly.

Saves teeth when possible. Fast action, especially with a knocked-out tooth, improves the chances of saving it.

Call Us Right Away If You Have:

  • Severe or sudden tooth pain
  • A knocked-out or loose tooth
  • A broken or cracked tooth
  • A lost filling or crown
  • Swelling, bleeding, or signs of infection

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or visible swelling and infection are all reasons to call us right away. If you're unsure, it's always okay to call and ask.

What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if it's dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately — time matters for saving the tooth.

Can homeopathic remedies help with emergency pain or healing?

We may offer homeopathic remedies such as Acute Rescue alongside standard emergency treatment to help support your comfort, but they're used as a complement to — not a substitute for — appropriate dental care.

Will I be seen the same day for an emergency?

We work to see emergency patients as quickly as possible, often the same day. Call our office right away so we can get you on the schedule.

What if my emergency happens outside office hours?

Call our office — our outgoing message will provide guidance on what to do next. For severe bleeding, trauma, or breathing difficulty, go to the nearest emergency room.

What to Expect

Call our office as soon as an emergency happens so we can guide you on next steps and get you in quickly. In the meantime, keep any broken pieces, rinse gently with warm water, and apply a cold compress if there's swelling. Avoid aspirin directly on the gums, as it can irritate tissue.
