Yes. You leave with an itemized receipt and treatment notes you can share with your dentist at home.
Can you help if I don't speak English?+

What counts as a dental emergency?+
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, swelling in the face or gums, bleeding that won't stop, or a lost filling or crown that's causing pain. If it hurts or something broke, it's worth getting seen.
Is facial or gum swelling a dental emergency?+
Yes. Swelling in the jaw, cheek, or neck may signal an infection or abscess and should be looked at quickly. Call us right away.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?+
Handle it by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it, and if you can, place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then call us right away. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour.
Should I go to the ER or a dentist for tooth pain?+
For tooth pain, infection, or a broken tooth, a dentist can look for the actual cause. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the head, call 911 first.
