24/7 ER Pain Control and Stabilization for Dental Emergencies
When a severe toothache, facial swelling, or dental injury strikes, every minute counts. At Priority ER Care, our board-certified emergency physicians partner with on-site dental specialists to deliver complete, compassionate care—under one roof, 24/7. From immediate pain control to advanced imaging and same-visit interventions, we handle your dental emergency fast so you can get back to smiling.
When to Choose ER vs. Dentist
Knowing where to go first can make a critical difference in how quickly you get relief and prevent complications.
Go to Priority ER Care when you have:
- Systemic signs of infection: fever over 100.4°F, chills, rapidly spreading facial swelling
- Severe, unrelenting pain that is not controlled by over-the-counter analgesics
- Airway or swallowing compromise: difficulty breathing, swallowing, or opening your mouth
- Uncontrolled oral bleeding despite direct pressure
- Traumatic injuries: knocked-out or dislodged teeth requiring immediate stabilization
- Signs of deep-space infection: trismus (jaw lock), redness tracking down the neck, rapid heart rate
See your dentist first when you have:
- Localized, mild-to-moderate tooth pain without systemic symptoms
- Loose or lost crown/filling causing no significant pain or swelling
- Minor chips or hairline cracks not involving nerve exposure
- Routine maintenance needs: cleanings, exams, or cosmetic concerns
- Chronic gum irritation without acute swelling or fever
If you’re ever in doubt—especially when pain is intense or you notice signs of infection—Priority ER Care is your 24/7 resource for prompt stabilization and referral for definitive dental treatment.
