Get You Out of Pain
Emergency Dentist Bend, OR – What you can expect
At your emergency dental appointment in Bend, Oregon, our dentists will carry out an examination and may need to take some X-rays to help diagnose and assess the extent of any dental damage. Once we have a clearer idea of what your dental problem is, we can:
- Explain your treatment options along with any associated risks,
- Provide you with a quote for the various options; and
- Prescribe painkillers and medications to help you in the interim.
We may not be able to complete your treatment in one appointment, particularly if you have a dental infection that requires a course of antibiotics – but our on-call emergency dentists in Bend, OR, will never leave you in any discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any issue that causes severe pain, bleeding, swelling or trauma to the mouth. This can include broken or knocked-out teeth, abscesses or injuries to the gums. If the issue is affecting your ability to eat, speak or function, it is considered an emergency.
Can I go to the ER for dental pain?
While emergency rooms can help manage pain or infection, they usually cannot provide full dental treatment. It is best to contact an emergency dentist who can address the root cause. If there is serious swelling, fever or trauma, an ER visit may be necessary alongside dental care.
How soon should I see a dentist for a knocked-out tooth?
Time is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth. Ideally, you should see a dentist within 30 minutes of the injury. Keep the tooth moist and avoid touching the root. Place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk until professional care is available.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Coverage for emergency dental services varies by provider and plan. Most dental insurance plans include some form of emergency treatment. Patients are encouraged to contact their insurance company for specifics. Our team can also help with estimates and assist with payment options when needed.
