Emergency Dental FAQs
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, broken or cracked teeth, swelling, infection, or uncontrolled bleeding. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, call our office and we will help guide you.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Yes. We do our best to provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Call our Waterville office, and our team will make every effort to see you as quickly as possible.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
If possible, gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing it and place it back into the socket. If that is not possible, keep the tooth in milk or saliva and call our office immediately. Acting quickly increases the chances of saving the tooth.
What if my tooth pain suddenly becomes severe?
Severe tooth pain may indicate infection or damage inside the tooth. Contact our office as soon as possible so our dentist can evaluate the problem and provide relief.
Do you accept new emergency patients?
Yes. We welcome both new and existing patients experiencing dental emergencies. Call our office and our team will help you schedule the earliest available appointment.
Do you accept insurance or MaineCare for emergency visits?
We accept most private dental insurance plans including Careington, Delta Dental, Guardian, Humana, and Nationwide. Our team files claims directly with your provider whenever possible. However, we do not accept MaineCare (Medicaid) at this time. If you have MaineCare, we recommend contacting your plan for a list of participating providers. If you're unsure about your coverage, call our office and our team will be happy to help.
