Emergency Dentist in Hopkins and St. Paul — Same-Day Appointments
Tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, or a lost filling? We see emergency patients the same day at our Hopkins and St. Paul offices. Call us now.
We See Emergency Patients the Same Day
When you are in pain, you should not have to wait days to see a dentist. At Shamblott Family Dentistry, we reserve time every day for emergency patients at both our Hopkins and St. Paul offices. Call us as early as possible and we will get you in the same day in the vast majority of cases.
Unlike most dental practices, we are open early mornings, most evenings until 7:00 PM, and Saturdays — so we are available when most other dentists are not. We are not open on Sundays.
Toothache or Severe Tooth Pain
Tooth pain that comes on suddenly or has been building for days is often a sign of infection or nerve damage. Do not wait — call us immediately.
Swelling or Dental Abscess
Facial swelling, swollen gums, or a visible bump near a tooth can indicate a serious infection that requires immediate treatment. This is a true dental emergency.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
A broken tooth can be sharp, painful, and may worsen quickly. We can often repair or stabilize a broken tooth the same day you call.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure and can become painful quickly. We can replace it the same day in most cases.

Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is a time-sensitive emergency. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, call us immediately and bring the tooth with you — keep it moist in milk or saliva. Time matters.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause severe pain and swelling. We can evaluate and treat wisdom tooth emergencies at both locations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What counts as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving severe pain, swelling, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, or signs of infection is a dental emergency. When in doubt, call us and we will help you determine how urgently you need to be seen.
Can you really see me the same day?
Yes — in the vast majority of cases we can see emergency patients the same day they call. Call as early in the day as possible to maximize your chances of a same-day appointment.
What if I have never been a patient at Shamblott Family Dentistry?
New patients are welcome for emergency appointments. You do not need to have visited us before. Just call and we will take care of you.
What if I have dental anxiety?
We understand that dental emergencies are stressful, especially for patients who are already anxious about dental care. We offer sedation options and will take extra care to make sure you are comfortable. Tell us when you call and we will be prepared.

We work with most major dental insurance plans. If you are unsure about your coverage, call us and our team can help you understand your options before your appointment.
