Below are a few types of dental emergencies we commonly treat, as well as important steps you should take before your visit to our office:

  • Toothache – Use some warm water to rinse your mouth. Then apply ice on the outside of your cheek to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Broken Tooth – Put any broken pieces into a container and bring them with you to your appointment.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth – Retrieve the tooth by the crown (top part), being careful not to touch the roots. Place the tooth in a container of milk, salt water, or saliva and bring it to your appointment.
  • Loose Crown – Place a small amount of dental cement or toothpaste on the inside surface of the crown, then try to reattach it. If it won’t stay on, be sure to bring it with you to the office.
  • Soft-Tissue Injury – Firmly apply a small amount of gauze or a tea bag to stop any bleeding from your lips, gums, tongue, or cheek. If it doesn’t stop within 10 or 15 minutes, head to the nearest emergency room or urgent treatment center.

Don’t suffer in pain any longer! Call Brian C. McDowell, DDS now for any Fitchburg dental emergencies: 978-401-9081. If you have a non-emergency need, you can contact us using our online form.

Where can I Begin… Dr.B has been an absolute blessing in my life. I suffer with severe TMJD issues ranging from lock jaw, terrible compressed jaw joints, popping and clicking of the joints, headaches, facial and neck pain etc etc. He is an LVI trained Dentist who incorporates the LVI principles in his treatment plans for his patients suffering with this debilitating condition. I was being seen by another LVI Dentist who was not following protocol where the relationship between us had to part ways. In the process of all the stress, time spent and thousands lost, I found Dr. B… Im so grateful that I did.. He assured me that he would provide me with TOP TIER level of care after all I had been through with the previous dentist and I can honestly say, he has done just that to date.. Dr. B has amazing bed side manner, very down to earth and easy to talk to.. Something that is missing in the medical field today. This was an ADDED BONUS… I am about 95% better and soon I’ll be 100% because of him and his Team. I can’t leave out the amazing woman in his practice also MaryLisa, Gabby & Christine. You girls Rock!!! Thank you for being so caring & understanding. I know I’m in GOOD HANDS! Thank you!!!!!!

Common Questions About Dental Emergencies

Where can I get dental care for emergencies?

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency and your mouth is hurting, our team here at Brian C. McDowell, DDS would love to help you.

We’ll get you into our office as soon as possible for smile-saving treatment.

What if I have dental emergencies without insurance?

Many of our guests don’t have any kind of dental insurance, so you’re not alone. Our team will do our best to give your smile the care it needs as affordably as possible. We’ll always provide you with treatment options whenever we can, and we’ll help you decide what’s best for your situation. In addition, CareCredit is a third-party health care finance company that may be able to help you manage the investment in your care.

Can you provide dental care for emergencies?

Depending on your situation, we have many ways to alleviate your dental pain and help you feel better soon during a dental emergency. For cavities, we offer tooth-colored fillings. If you have a diseased tooth, we can stop your pain and usually save the tooth from extraction with a root canal procedure. These are just two examples of the emergency dental care we can provide.
