near Bolingbrook, IL.

Not every dental problem is dramatic. A tooth that stings on cold, or something wedged that will not come out, is worth a call from Bolingbrook.

Sensitivity is a message.
So is something stuck.

Pressure or temperature sensitivity that lingers is your tooth telling you something is going on inside it. A quick zing that fades is one thing. Pain that hangs around after the cold is gone is another. Call the office as soon as you can and we will help you work out which one you have.

For something caught between two teeth, start with water. Swish hard. Then try dental floss, easing it down and out rather than sawing. A toothpick can work, but go carefully, because it is easy to injure the gum and make a small problem into a sore one.

If it will not come out, leave it and call us. And if the tooth is aching rather than crowded, do not wait for it to pass. We try to get true emergencies in that same day.

Bolingbrook asks

Is this worth
a phone call?

One tooth hurts on cold and stays sore. Should I call?

Yes. Lingering sensitivity can point to a problem inside the tooth. Call (630) 810-9940 as soon as possible and we will take a look and tell you what is going on.

Something is stuck and floss will not move it.

Swish with water first, then try floss gently. A toothpick works but be careful not to injure your gums. If it stays put, call and come in rather than digging at it.

How long is the drive from Bolingbrook?

About 17 minutes, 9.1 miles by road. Route 53 north, right onto Hobson Road, then east on 63rd Street.

Do you fit urgent visits into the day?

We try to get true emergencies in that same day. Call and describe what is happening, and please call rather than email if it is urgent.

What if it is not really an emergency?

Then we book you properly. A small chip or a loose orthodontic bracket is usually ok to wait a few hours, so call our team to arrange a visit.

Are you open on Saturday?

Saturday hours are 8AM to 1PM by appointment. Wednesday we run 12PM to 8PM, which is the latest day of our week.
