Emergency Dentist Care When You Can't Wait

Our emergency dentist team holds same-day appointments because dental problems don't wait for a convenient time. A tooth chipped at a game at Clearwater Park, a crown that came off at dinner, a throbbing infection that's been building for days. Call during office hours and Two Rivers Dental Group will work you in that day. Patients in Springfield, Eugene, and the surrounding area are never left waiting a week in pain while the problem gets worse.

We're open Tuesday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. We're not a 24-hour clinic. If it's the weekend or the middle of the night and you have facial swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or jaw trauma, go to the ER.

What Counts as an Emergency

Six Situations We Handle Same-Day

Not every dental problem is an emergency, but some absolutely are. Ignoring the wrong one can mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing it. These are the situations we see most often, and we can handle every one of them same-day during office hours.

01

Severe Toothache

Pain that keeps you up at night or stops you from eating usually points to infection, a dying nerve, or a deep crack. We diagnose fast and get you out of pain, often during the same visit.

02

Chipped or Broken Tooth

Falls, hard food, sports impacts, and old dental fillings that finally give out. Cracks can hide serious damage underneath. We can often restore the tooth same-day.

03

Knocked-Out Tooth

The one emergency where the clock beats everything. The tooth needs to go back in within 30 to 60 minutes. If we're open, call and come straight here. If we're not, go to urgent care or a hospital dental service now and see us for follow-up.

04

Lost Filling or Crown

Leaves the tooth underneath exposed and vulnerable. Sensitivity builds quickly and the tooth can fracture or decay fast. We can re-cement or replace most lost dental crowns and fillings same-day.

05

Dental Abscess or Infection

Swelling in your jaw or face, fever with tooth pain, or a pimple-like bump on your gums means infection. Don't wait this one out. Dental infections can spread to the jaw, neck, and beyond.

06

Need to Get In Today

Sometimes you just know something's wrong and it can't wait until next week. We hold same-day slots open for situations exactly like this. Call and we'll find you a time.

What to Do Right Now

Steps to Take Before Your Visit

Getting to us quickly is always the first step. But there are things you can do in the meantime to protect the tooth and manage the pain.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Steps to Save the Tooth

  1. Pick the tooth up by the crown, the part you chew with. Never touch the root.
  2. Rinse it gently with water if it's dirty. Don't rub or scrub it.
  3. Try to place it back in the socket if you can.
  4. If you can't, put it in a glass of milk or between your cheek and gum.
  5. Get to a dentist within the hour. Call us if we're open, or go to urgent care if we're not.
Pain Management

While You Wait to Be Seen

  1. Take over-the-counter ibuprofen as directed to take the edge off.
  2. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.
  3. Rinse gently with warm salt water if there's bleeding from the gum.
  4. Avoid chewing on that side until you're seen.
  5. Don't put aspirin directly on the gum. It burns the tissue.

When to Go to the ER Instead

If you have facial swelling combined with difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or trauma to the jaw or face, go directly to the emergency room. Call us afterward to schedule follow-up care.

Our office is closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. If something urgent happens outside our hours and it isn't ER-level, leave us a detailed message and we'll reach out as soon as we reopen.

Common Questions

Emergency Dental FAQ

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, swelling in the jaw or face, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection like fever with tooth pain all count. When in doubt, call our Springfield office and describe what's happening. We'll tell you honestly whether it needs same-day care or can wait for a regular visit.

When is Two Rivers Dental Group open for emergencies?

Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We hold time in the schedule on each of those days for urgent patients, so if you call during office hours we can usually see you the same day. We are not a 24-hour or weekend emergency clinic, and we'd rather tell you that up front than have you sitting on hold in pain.

What if my dental emergency happens on a weekend or overnight?

We're closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so leave a detailed message and we'll reach out as soon as we reopen. Until then, manage pain with over-the-counter ibuprofen and a cold compress. If you have facial swelling with trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or trauma to the jaw or face, go to the emergency room right away rather than waiting for us. For a knocked-out tooth outside our hours, the replant window is short enough that an urgent care or hospital dental service is your best chance.

How much does an emergency dentist visit cost?

It depends on what the tooth needs. Every emergency visit starts with an exam and X-rays to diagnose the problem, then we give you a written estimate before any treatment begins. We accept most insurance and offer payment plans, so cost never has to be the reason you wait in pain.
