Emergency Dentist in Topeka, KS

If you are dealing with severe tooth pain, a broken tooth or sudden swelling, you need an emergency dentist in Topeka who can see you fast. At EXO Dental on SW Wanamaker Road, we keep room in our schedule for same-day emergencies, and we are one of the few Topeka practices that offer Saturday emergency dental care. Walk-ins are welcome, and if you call ahead we can often have a plan ready before you arrive. Dental pain does not follow office hours, and waiting rarely makes it better.

Our goal is simple: get you comfortable, protect the tooth if we can, and stop the problem from getting worse.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Not every ache is an emergency, but several situations should be seen the same day. Call us right away if you have:

  • Severe or throbbing tooth pain that keeps you up at night or does not respond to over-thecounter relief.
  • A knocked-out tooth from a fall or sports injury.
  • A broken, cracked or chipped tooth, especially with sharp edges or pain.
  • Swelling in the face, jaw or gums, or a bump that may signal an abscess or infection.
  • A lost crown that has left a tooth exposed or sensitive.
  • Bleeding that will not stop after a knock to the mouth.

Facial swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing can point to a spreading infection. Please treat those as urgent and call us immediately.

What to do right now, before you get in

A few simple steps can ease pain and protect the tooth while you are on your way to us.

For severe tooth pain

Rinse gently with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Hold a cold compress against your cheek in short intervals to calm swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum, which can irritate the tissue.

For a knocked-out tooth

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with water. If you can, place it gently back in the socket; if not, keep it in a small container of milk and get to us quickly. The sooner we see you, the better the chance of saving it.

For a broken tooth or lost crown

Save any pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water and cover sharp edges with a little dental wax or sugarless gum. Chew on the other side until we can see you.

How fast can we see you in Topeka?

Most dental emergencies are seen the same day, and often within hours of your call. Because we hold time open for urgent visits and offer Saturday emergency appointments, you are far less likely to spend a painful weekend waiting for Monday. When you call, tell us what happened and we will guide you on the fastest way to be seen.
