New Patients: Free Emergency Exam & X-Ray

Dental emergencies require prompt attention to reduce pain, prevent infection, and protect the surrounding teeth and tissue.

Complimentary Emergency Exam for New Patients

If you are a new patient experiencing a dental emergency, we will provide a complimentary exam and X-rays at your first visit so you can understand your situation and your options without any upfront financial barrier. Call 508-881-7700.

What to Expect When You Arrive

When you arrive for an emergency appointment, our first priority is your comfort. We will perform an examination and use digital X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging as needed to identify the source of the problem quickly. This allows us to move directly into treatment rather than delaying care while waiting on diagnostics.

Depending on your situation, treatment may include pain management, a temporary or permanent restoration, antibiotic therapy for infection, or other appropriate intervention. Dr. Almaawi will explain what is happening, what the treatment involves, and what to expect during recovery before proceeding.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry provides same-day care for a wide range of urgent dental situations in Ashland, MA and the MetroWest area:

  • Severe toothache or tooth pain — Persistent or sudden pain that does not respond to over-the-counter medication may indicate infection, abscess, or nerve damage
  • Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth — Trauma from an accident, bite injury, or weakened restoration can expose inner tooth structure and require immediate attention
  • Swelling or dental infection — Facial swelling, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth may signal an abscess that needs urgent drainage and treatment
  • Knocked-out tooth (avulsed tooth) — A tooth that has been completely knocked out may be saved if treated within 30–60 minutes. Handle by the crown, keep moist, and come in immediately
  • Lost or broken crown, filling, or restoration — Exposed tooth structure is vulnerable to further damage and decay without prompt repair
  • Abscess or gum boil — A pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum tissue requires professional treatment to prevent the infection from spreading

When to call immediately: If you experience uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or severe facial swelling, go to the nearest emergency room. For all other dental emergencies, call our office at 508-881-7700 for same-day care.

Emergency Dental Care FAQ

What counts as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or broken tooth, facial swelling, or signs of infection should be treated as a dental emergency. When in doubt, call Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry at 508-881-7700 and our team will advise you.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. We reserve time each day for emergency patients. Call us as early as possible and we will work to see you the same day.

Will I need X-rays during an emergency visit?
In most cases, yes. Digital X-rays allow us to quickly identify fractures, infections, and hidden damage with minimal radiation exposure.

Does insurance cover emergency dental care?
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency exams and treatment. We also offer a free emergency exam and X-ray for new patients. Visit our payment and insurance page for details on accepted plans and financing options.

What can I do for pain relief before my appointment?
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek in 15-minute intervals. Over-the-counter ibuprofen can help manage pain and inflammation. Avoid aspirin directly on gums, and do not ignore worsening symptoms.
