In a dental emergency right now?
Severe swelling that affects breathing/swallowing, or heavy bleeding, is a medical emergency — call 911 or go to the ER.
A dental emergency can be incredibly stressful, but fast, professional treatment makes all the difference. At Hampton Family Dental — formerly Brenner Dental Group — we prioritize urgent cases to relieve pain and stabilize your tooth as quickly as possible. Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, a broken crown, or a knocked-out tooth, Dr. Jeffrey Brenner and Dr. Keyur Dudhat are ready to help. If you do not have insurance, you can also benefit from our special membership plans or payment options.
What is Considered a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition that causes severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or threatens the permanent viability of a tooth. Common emergencies include knocked-out teeth, loose or fractured teeth, advanced dental abscesses (infections), lost fillings or crowns, and soft tissue trauma. Our team is fully equipped to diagnose the issue and provide immediate relief.
Key Patient Benefits
Timely emergency care resolves acute tooth pain, halts active infection, and protects your permanent dentition.
When Do You Need Emergency Care?
If you are experiencing swelling, throbbing pain, bleeding, or have had a tooth knocked loose, you need to see our emergency team immediately.
- Severe, throbbing tooth pain
- Swollen gums, face, or jaw
- Knocked-out, loose, or cracked tooth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or broken dentures
Your Treatment Process
We focus on comfort and absolute speed. Here is what happens when you reach out with a dental emergency.
Call Our Emergency Line
Contact us immediately at (215) 357-2224. Our coordinators will guide you through first-aid and schedule a same-day urgent visit.
Rapid Diagnostic Exam
When you arrive, we capture high-definition digital x-rays to locate the root cause of the pain or infection.
Immediate Treatment & Pain Relief
Dr. Brenner or Dr. Dudhat performs the necessary procedure—such as a temporary filling, root canal access, or extraction—to stop the pain.
Long-Term Restoration Planning
Once the acute pain is resolved, we discuss any follow-up treatments, like permanent crowns or implant placements, to restore your smile.
Common Dental Emergencies & What to Do
If you’re dealing with one of these, here’s what to do before you reach us — and call (215) 357-2224 right away so we can see you the same day.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick up the tooth by the crown — never the root — and gently rinse it with water. Try to place it back in the socket and bite on gauze. If you can’t, store it in a cup of milk or saliva and get to us within an hour. The faster you act, the better the chance we can save it.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Save any pieces of the tooth. Avoid chewing on that side and call us right away — a cracked tooth can worsen quickly without treatment.
Severe Toothache or Dental Abscess
Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. An abscess — a swelling or “pimple” on the gum, often with fever — is a serious infection: don’t squeeze it, and call us immediately. Untreated infections can spread, so this needs same-day attention.
Lost Filling or Crown
Keep the crown if you have it. You can cover the exposed tooth with dental cement from a pharmacy and avoid chewing on that side. It’s not usually as urgent as pain or trauma, but call us promptly so the tooth doesn’t get damaged or sensitive.
Soft-Tissue Injury (lip, cheek, tongue, gums)
Clean the area gently and apply gauze with light pressure to control bleeding; a cold compress helps with swelling. If bleeding doesn’t stop after 10–15 minutes, call us or seek emergency care.
How to Relieve Tooth Pain Until Your Appointment
Immediate Relief Guidance
While you wait to be seen, a few steps can ease the pain: take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen as directed, rinse with warm salt water to clean the area and reduce inflammation, and use a cold compress on your cheek for 15 minutes at a time. Keep your head elevated — even when sleeping — since lying flat can make throbbing worse.
Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods, and don’t place aspirin directly on the gum, which can burn the tissue. These are temporary measures only — tooth pain almost always means something needs treatment, so call (215) 357-2224 so we can find the cause and fix it. We can provide treatments like emergency root canals or tooth extractions if the tooth is severely damaged.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments
We reserve dedicated slots in our daily schedule exclusively for dental emergencies. If you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or have a broken or knocked-out tooth, we do everything possible to see you the same day.
Our experienced clinical team will also guide you through immediate first-aid instructions over the phone, ensuring you are supported from the moment you call.

Dental Emergency or ER? When to Go Where
Most dental emergencies — toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, abscesses, lost crowns — are treated fastest and best by a dentist, not a hospital ER (emergency rooms can manage pain and infection but usually can’t fix the tooth).
However, go to the ER or call 911 for swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, a possible broken jaw, or uncontrolled bleeding after an injury. When in doubt, call us and we’ll help you decide. We can perform emergency treatments such as restorative dental crowns or direct you to emergency scheduling.
Cost & Insurance Coverage
Emergency diagnostic exams are often covered by dental insurance. Our focus is to relieve pain and stabilize your tooth, keeping diagnostic costs clear and transparent.
