Emergency Dentist in Fayetteville, NC
Fayetteville is busy, and dental emergencies don’t care. We focus on quick access, clear communication, and practical treatment options—especially when you’re already stressed.
If you’re searching for an emergency dentist because you’re in pain, our focus is to: (1) figure out what’s causing it, (2) calm it down safely, and (3) give you a clear plan you can actually follow.
If you’re in pain right now, start here:
- Call (910) 446-9027 so we can triage your symptoms and schedule the soonest available visit.
- If you have swelling, fever, or a bad taste/drainage, mention it. Infections can progress quickly.
- For pain, use over-the-counter medication only as directed on the label (unless your physician says otherwise). Avoid placing aspirin directly on gums.
- If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist (milk or saliva), avoid scrubbing the root, and call immediately.
- If you have trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or rapidly spreading facial swelling, go to the ER or call 911.

Emergency dentist — Frequently Asked Questions
Can you see me today for a dental emergency?
We often have same-day options for urgent problems. The fastest way to find out is to call—our team will triage your symptoms and schedule the soonest appropriate visit.
Do you take walk-ins?
We recommend calling first so we can reserve a time and reduce your wait. If you arrive without calling, we’ll do our best to help based on availability.
How much is an emergency dental visit?
Costs vary depending on what you need. Many patients start with an all-inclusive urgent care bundle (exam + necessary imaging + plan). We’ll review options before treatment.
I think I need an extraction—can that be done the same day?
In many cases, yes—after an exam and imaging confirm it’s the safest option. Some situations require additional planning first.
Do you do root canals for emergencies?
We evaluate tooth infections and severe nerve pain. If a root canal is the right solution, we’ll discuss the best timing and the fastest way to get you comfortable.
What should I do if my face is swollen?
Call right away. Swelling can indicate infection. If swelling is rapidly spreading, you have fever, or you’re having trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the ER or call 911.
My tooth broke—do I need to save the piece?
If you can, yes. Bring it with you. Even if you can’t, we can evaluate the tooth and stabilize it.
What if I knocked a tooth out?
Time matters. Keep the tooth moist (milk or saliva), avoid scrubbing the root, and call immediately so we can guide you.
Will you prescribe antibiotics?
Antibiotics are used when clinically appropriate (for certain infections), but they don’t replace dental treatment. We’ll determine what you actually need after an exam.
I don’t have dental insurance—can I still be seen?
Yes. We offer value-focused bundle options and can discuss payment plans through our financing partners.
Can you treat kids for dental emergencies?
Yes. If a child has tooth pain, trauma, or swelling, call us. We’ll help you decide the right next step.
When should I go to the ER instead of a dentist?
Go to the ER or call 911 for trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, jaw fractures, or rapidly spreading facial swelling—especially if it affects swallowing or breathing.
