Your Situation Counts
Is It a Dental Emergency?
If You're In Pain — Yes.
Don't wait to find out if it's "bad enough" to call. Here's what we treat same-day:
🦷
Toothache or Severe Tooth Pain
Throbbing, sharp, or constant pain — whether it came on suddenly or has been building for days.
💥
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
Especially if the edge is sharp, the tooth is sensitive, or you can feel exposed pulp.
🔴
Knocked-Out Tooth
Call immediately — time matters. Keep the tooth moist and come straight in.
👑
Lost or Broken Crown or Bridge
Exposes the vulnerable tooth underneath. The tooth can deteriorate quickly without protection.
🩸
Abscess or Facial Swelling
Can spread fast. If your face or jaw is swollen, call us now — this needs same-day attention.
🦴
Loose or Displaced Tooth
Injury-related loosening or movement — come in before it gets worse or falls out entirely.
🩹
Post-Extraction Pain or Bleeding
Bleeding or pain that won't stop after an extraction may signal dry socket or infection.
❓
Not Sure? Call Anyway.
If it's affecting eating or keeping you up at night — call us. We'll help you decide over the phone.

★★★★★
"I was a walk-in with a toothache. Staff was so warm and welcoming. Doctor was very professional and made me feel so comfortable. Excellent chairside manner. I highly recommend A to Z!!"
★★★★★
"I had a very complicated case, but she knew exactly what to do. If you need any work done that's going to last for years I recommend this dentist. She informed me on my best options — unlike other dentists who only mentioned pulling the tooth."

Quick Answers
Emergency Dental FAQs
Can I walk in with a toothache?+
Yes — walk-ins are welcome at both our Richton Park and Flossmoor locations. Calling ahead (708-481-2288 or 708-957-2030) is the fastest way to confirm same-day availability, but if you're in severe pain, come in.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?+
Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments at both locations, Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Call us directly — we answer the phone and will get you in the same day whenever possible.
What counts as a dental emergency?+
Any dental situation causing pain, affecting eating or sleep, or involving bleeding, swelling, or a broken tooth. When in doubt, call us — we'll help you assess over the phone.
How much does emergency treatment cost?+
Cost depends on what's needed. We explain all options and costs before any work begins. We accept most PPO insurance including Delta Dental and MetLife, and offer Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and other financing for patients without insurance.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?+
Call us immediately — time matters. Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum while you come in. Richton Park: 708-481-2288 · Flossmoor: 708-957-2030.
