Tooth Pain, Broken Tooth, or Dental Accident?
Call Us Now
Do you have tooth pain or
need dental help?
Dental emergencies don’t wait for a convenient time — and neither do we. Whether you’re dealing with sudden, severe tooth pain, a cracked or knocked-out tooth, a swollen jaw, or a dental injury from an accident, Greenlee Dental offers same-day emergency appointments in Oklahoma City whenever our schedule allows.
Dr. Kimberly Greenlee and her team understand how overwhelming a dental emergency feels, especially if you’re in significant pain or dealing with visible damage. We prioritize emergency calls and do everything we can to get you seen the same day — including for patients who have never been to our office before.
Call us right now at (405) 849-4304. Don’t wait and hope it gets better on its own — dental problems rarely do.
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A good rule of thumb: if you’re in pain, if something is visibly broken or knocked out, or if you have swelling in your face or jaw, it qualifies. When in doubt, call us and describe what’s happening — we’ll help you determine whether you need to come in today or can wait for a scheduled appointment.
Common dental emergencies we treat at our Oklahoma City office include:
Severe toothache or sudden tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you up at night or makes it impossible to eat
Knocked-out tooth — time is critical; getting in within 30–60 minutes gives the best chance of saving the tooth
Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth — particularly if there’s sharp pain, exposed nerve, or a large piece has broken off
Lost filling or crown — leaving a tooth unprotected can cause rapid sensitivity and further damage
Dental abscess or infection — swelling in the gums, jaw, or face with or without fever requires prompt attention; untreated dental infections can spread
Soft tissue injuries — cuts or lacerations to the lips, gums, cheeks, or tongue from an accident or injury
Broken or loose orthodontic hardware — broken wires or brackets causing pain or damage to soft tissue
Don’t try to push through it. Many dental emergencies get significantly worse — and more expensive to treat — the longer they’re left unaddressed. Call (405) 849-4304 and let us help you figure out the next step.
What to expect during your emergency dental visit
We know you’re stressed. Here’s exactly what happens when you call and come in for an emergency appointment at Greenlee Dental — so there are no surprises when you walk through the door.
Urgent Evaluation
The moment you arrive, you become our priority. Dr. Greenlee will assess your situation quickly, take any necessary digital X-rays, and get a clear picture of what’s happening. You won’t sit in a waiting room in pain any longer than necessary.
Immediate Relief
Clear Next Steps
Once you’re stabilized and out of pain, Dr. Greenlee will walk you through exactly what happened, what was done, and what — if anything — still needs to be addressed. You’ll leave with a clear treatment plan, honest cost information, and a follow-up appointment if needed. No confusion, no surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care in Oklahoma City
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Act fast — this is one situation where every minute genuinely matters. Pick up the tooth by the crown (the white part you can see), not the root. Rinse it gently with clean water if it’s dirty, but don’t scrub it or remove any tissue attached to it. If you can, try to place it back in the socket and hold it there gently. If that’s not possible, keep it moist — in a glass of milk, in saline solution, or held in your cheek between your gum and the inside of your lip.
Then call us immediately at (405) 849-4304. Getting to our Oklahoma City office within 30 to 60 minutes gives you the best chance of saving the tooth. After two hours, the odds drop significantly.
How do I know if my dental issue is an emergency?
If you’re asking yourself whether it’s an emergency, it probably warrants a call. The clearest signs are: pain severe enough to interfere with eating, sleeping, or daily activities; visible damage to a tooth; swelling in your face, jaw, or gums; bleeding that won’t stop; or a tooth that has been knocked out or is very loose.
Less obvious situations — like a lost crown, a broken filling, or a cracked tooth with mild sensitivity — may not feel like emergencies, but leaving them untreated can lead to bigger problems quickly. Call us and we’ll help you decide. That’s what we’re here for.
Can I be seen today?
Will you treat me even if I'm a new patient?
Absolutely. You don’t need to be an existing patient to get emergency care at Greenlee Dental. We welcome new patients in pain and treat them with the same urgency and respect as patients we’ve known for years. If you’ve been searching for an emergency dentist in Oklahoma City and stumbled on us for the first time, that’s fine — call us, tell us what’s happening, and we’ll take it from there. Many of our longtime patients originally came to us as emergency cases.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
What if I have a dental abscess or infection?
Call us immediately. Dental infections don’t resolve on their own — they spread. An untreated abscess can progress from a localized infection to involvement of the jaw, neck, and in serious cases, the bloodstream. Symptoms to watch for include a persistent throbbing pain, swelling in the jaw or face, fever, a bad taste in your mouth, or a visible pimple-like bump on your gum near a tooth. If you have facial swelling accompanied by difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room — that requires immediate medical attention beyond what a dental office can provide. For everything short of that, call (405) 849-4304 right away.
