Frequently Asked Questions
Experiencing a dental emergency? Explore the most common questions our patients ask before coming in.
How long do I have to wait for an emergency dental appointment?
At OB1 Dental, we prioritize dental emergencies and aim to accommodate same-day appointments whenever possible. Call us at (617) 825-4444 during business hours, and we’ll do our best to see you immediately.
Do I need to go to the emergency room or hospital?
If you're experiencing severe trauma, uncontrollable bleeding, or life-threatening symptoms, head to the nearest ER. For most dental-related emergencies—like toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings—contact OB1 Dental directly. We’re equipped to handle urgent dental issues more efficiently than the ER.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on the treatment needed. A basic emergency exam may start around $150–$250, not including x-rays or procedures. We accept many insurances and offer financing through CareCredit and Lending Club. Our team will always provide a cost estimate before treatment.
How do I know if I need to see an emergency dentist?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, call us right away:
Severe toothache or pain
Swelling in the mouth or jaw
Cracked, chipped, or knocked-out tooth
Bleeding that doesn’t stop
Signs of infection (fever, foul odor, pus)
Even if you're unsure, it’s better to call and speak to our team—we’ll help guide you.
Can I get a same-day appointment for a toothache?
Yes. We strive to offer same-day emergency appointments for urgent concerns like toothaches. Please call early in the day to increase availability.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?
If you experience a dental emergency after our hours (Mon–Thurs, 8 AM–5 PM), please leave a voicemail or send a text message. Our team checks messages first thing Monday morning. For urgent issues that can’t wait, visit your nearest emergency room or urgent care facility.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental care?
We accept Delta Dental Premier, Blue Cross Blue Shield Premier, and are out-of-network with other carriers (but still accept most). Many plans cover emergency care, but benefits vary—we verify insurance ahead of time whenever possible to help you understand your coverage.
Is it okay to take pain medication before my emergency visit?
Yes, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Please avoid aspirin if there’s bleeding. Let us know what you've taken when you arrive.
