If you are a current patient of Dr. Chelsea Mason Dental and you have a broken tooth, severe pain, swelling or a dental injury, call or text (989) 686-6110 as early in the day as you can. We hold same-day time for our patients of record and will do everything we can to see you today.
Not a patient yet? Schedule a new patient exam and you will have emergency access from then on. We are not able to take new emergency walk-ins.
Your oral health affects your overall well-being and goes far beyond just the teeth and gums. Dr. Chelsea Mason takes an integrative approach to understanding dental health and its connection to overall health. Today, dental health can no longer be considered or treated in isolation from the rest of the body.
Some problems can wait for a regular appointment. These cannot. If any of the following is happening to you, call right away and we will find you a chair. Knocked-out teeth have the best chance of being saved within an hour, so do not wait to see if it gets better.

Call or text (989) 686-6110 as early as you can and say it is an emergency. Rinse gently with warm salt water, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label, and put a cold compress on the outside of your cheek for swelling. Do not put aspirin on the gum.
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or water, then try to place it back in the socket and bite gently on gauze. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or in your cheek and call us immediately. The first hour matters most.
We reserve same-day emergency time for our existing patients so we can keep that promise to them. If you are not yet a patient, the best path is to schedule a new patient exam. Once you are a patient of record, you have emergency access. For urgent care today, an emergency room or an urgent dental clinic is the right call.
Current patients can call (989) 686-6110 and follow the after-hours instructions on the message. For severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or trauma, go to the emergency room; they can manage pain and infection until we can see you.
Most plans cover an emergency exam and X-ray. Treatment coverage depends on your plan. We will check your benefits before we start and explain any cost so there are no surprises.
