Same-Day Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies don’t wait — and neither should you. At Kentlands Dental, we understand how stressful and painful dental emergencies can be. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments to relieve your pain and protect your long-term oral health.
Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a cracked tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our team is here to help — fast.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or prevent infection. If you’re in doubt, don’t wait — call us.
Here are common dental emergencies we treat:
When to Call Us
If you’re experiencing intense pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma to your mouth or jaw, it’s an emergency. Call our office immediately at (301) 450-7266 so we can assess your condition and get you seen as soon as possible — often the same day.
We keep emergency slots available in our schedule to make sure urgent needs don’t go ignored.
What to Do Before Your Visit
Here are quick tips for handling common dental emergencies until you reach our office:
Tooth Knocked Out:
Keep the tooth moist. Try placing it back in the socket or store it in milk. Time is critical — the sooner you’re treated, the better the chance of saving it.
Cracked or Broken Tooth:
Rinse with warm water and avoid chewing on that side. If there’s swelling, apply a cold compress.
Toothache:
Rinse with warm salt water. Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Do not apply aspirin directly to gums — it can cause burns.
Swelling or Abscess:
This may indicate a serious infection. Call us right away. Apply a cold compress and drink fluids until we can treat you.
