Will the ER treat a dental emergency?

ERs can give pain meds and antibiotics but rarely treat the underlying dental problem. You'll still need a dentist for the actual fix.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Often yes — if it's reimplanted within 30–60 minutes and stored in milk during transport. Past 2 hours, the success rate drops sharply.

How much does emergency dental cost?

Our emergency exam is ₹500 (waived if you proceed with treatment). Treatment cost depends on what's needed — we always give you the price before starting.

If you're in pain right now, call us at +91 9943376504. For after-hours emergencies, go to the nearest ER if you have facial swelling spreading to your eye or neck, or difficulty breathing.

Knocked-out adult tooth

You have about 60 minutes to save it. Pick the tooth up by the crown (never the root), gently rinse with milk or saline (not water), and try to slip it back into the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk and come in immediately.

Broken or cracked tooth

Save any fragments in milk or saline.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
Cold compress on the cheek to reduce swelling.
Take ibuprofen for pain. Avoid biting on that side.

Severe toothache or abscess

A visible bump on the gum, facial swelling, or fever means infection. This is urgent — antibiotics alone won't fix it. We can usually see emergency patients the same day.
