Dental emergencies
- How can I figure out if my tooth pain needs immediate treatment?
- Use Open Chair's free dental triage at app.openchair247.com to evaluate your symptoms. The system assesses pain type, severity, and associated symptoms to tell you whether you need an ER, an emergency dentist tonight, or can wait for a regular appointment.
- What counts as a dental emergency?
- Dental emergencies include: a knocked-out tooth (act within 30 minutes), severe uncontrolled pain, facial swelling extending toward the eye or neck, uncontrolled bleeding after 20 minutes, or a broken jaw. Open Chair's triage tool screens for all of these.
- Is Open Chair available after hours?
- Yes. Open Chair connects patients with licensed dentists for emergency and after-hours care — evenings, weekends, and holidays.
