Severe or throbbing tooth pain does not wait for Monday. We are in Southampton and open Friday, Saturday and Sunday for same-day emergency visits.
Call (215) 357-6241Fri 9–5 · Sat 9–5 · Sun 9–4 Or book onlineMost toothaches have a cause a dentist can find and treat: a cavity that has reached the nerve, a cracked tooth, an infection at the root, a lost filling, or a wisdom tooth coming in at an angle. Pain relievers can take the edge off, but they do not fix the cause, and some of these problems get harder to treat the longer they wait.
Call us if you have pain that keeps you up at night, pain when you bite, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the food is gone, a bad taste in your mouth, or swelling in the gum around a tooth.
Home care is a bridge, not a fix. If the pain keeps coming back, the tooth needs to be looked at.
We start with a $99 emergency exam and X-ray so we can see what is going on below the surface. Depending on what we find, treatment might be a filling or temporary restoration, a root canal to remove an infected nerve, or an extraction if the tooth cannot be saved. You get the price before we start, and you decide.
If the pain comes with swelling in your gum, cheek or jaw, read our page on dental abscess and swelling. If a piece of the tooth broke off, see broken tooth.
Please call (215) 357-6241 before you head over, or use the online booking link, so we can have a chair ready. Every emergency visit starts with a $99 exam and X-ray. The dentist looks at the tooth, explains what is causing the problem in plain language, and quotes any treatment before anything starts. Same-day options in the office include extractions, root canals and temporary restorations. If something needs a specialist or a lab, the goal is to get you comfortable today and set up the next step.
Bring a photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, and a list of the medications you take. We are out of network, but our billing coordinator files your claim as a courtesy and can estimate your coverage before treatment. Cherry and CareCredit financing are available, and we take all major cards.

Go to the emergency room or call 911 instead of calling us if you have any of these:
A dental infection that reaches the airway is life threatening. If you are unsure, go to the hospital.
Pain sometimes fades, but the cause usually does not. A nerve that stops hurting may have died, and an infection can still be present. It is worth having it checked.
Call (215) 357-6241 during our hours: Friday and Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 9am to 4pm. You can also book online.
