Emergency Exams &
Same-Day Care in Sandwich, IL

A toothache at 8am shouldn’t mean suffering until next week. At Sandwich Dentistry, we set aside time every single day for emergency exams — so when something hurts, breaks, or swells, you can be seen today, not someday.

Weekend emergency? We always answer our phones on weekends. Call (815) 786-2185 — if you need urgent dental care, we’ll come in to treat you.

An emergency exam is a focused visit with one goal: getting you out of pain and giving you answers, fast. Instead of a full checkup and cleaning, we zero in on the problem — the aching tooth, the broken crown, the swelling that showed up overnight. We’ll take any x-rays needed, diagnose what’s going on, relieve your pain, and lay out your treatment options clearly, with costs explained before anything happens. No lectures, no waiting weeks for an opening.

If you’re in pain or something looks or feels wrong, call us — we’d always rather see you and find nothing serious than have you wait and wish you hadn’t. The cases we fit in same-day most often include:

• Severe or sudden tooth pain
• Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
• A knocked-out tooth
• Swollen face or gums, or signs of infection
• A lost crown, filling, or other restoration
• Bleeding that won’t stop

We keep it simple, because the last thing you need when you’re hurting is a complicated process:

1. Call us at (815) 786-2185 — the earlier in the day, the better.
2. We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening and how urgent it is.
3. We hold emergency slots in the schedule every day, so in most cases we’ll fit you in the very same day.
4. At your visit, relief comes first — we diagnose the problem, ease your pain, and plan the next steps together.

• Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and keep it in milk. Get to us within the hour if you can.
• Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, and hold a cold compress on your cheek for swelling.
• Broken tooth: save any pieces, rinse your mouth, and use a cold compress to keep swelling down.

For patients without insurance, a limited emergency exam — including any x-rays needed — is $99. Every situation is different, so we’ll always confirm the cost before we begin. We’ll walk you through your treatment options and pricing before anything happens, so there are no surprises.

Dental pain rarely fixes itself, and infections only get worse with time. If something doesn’t feel right, reach out — we’ll make room for you.
