Tooth pain has a weird hobby: showing up on Friday night, ruining Saturday, and daring you to wait until Monday. If you’re searching for an emergency dentist open weekends in Spokane, you’re not being “extra.” You’re being realistic.

Weekend emergency dental care exists for one reason: the problems that cannot wait. Severe toothaches, swelling, broken teeth, lost crowns, and injuries don’t care about business hours, and they can get worse fast.

What counts as a weekend dental emergency

Call right away if you’re dealing with:

• Severe tooth pain that’s worsening

• Swollen gums or facial swelling

• Fever with dental pain

• A broken tooth (sharp edges, exposed tooth, sensitivity)

• A crown or filling that fell out

• Trauma from sports, falls, accidents

• Bad taste or drainage (possible infection)

If you can’t sleep or eat, it’s not “minor.”

Why waiting until Monday can be a costly mistake

Over a weekend, common “small” problems can escalate:

• A crack spreads into a fracture

• Inflammation ramps pain

• Infection risk increases

• Monday schedules fill fast, extending the misery

In Spokane, weekend care can prevent the “Monday morning scramble” where you’re competing with everyone who tried to wait it out.

What weekend emergency dentistry can do

Weekend visits can involve real treatment, not just “a quick look.”
Depending on your case:

• Exam and X-rays

• Temporary fillings/restorations

• Crown re-cementing or temporary coverage

• Stabilizing cracks/broken edges

• Infection-related urgent evaluation

• Extraction when appropriate

• Clear plan for follow-up treatment

The goal is to stabilize and improve, not just postpone.

How to get seen faster on a weekend

To improve your odds of being seen:

• Call earlier in the day

• Be clear about symptoms (pain level, swelling, fever, trauma)

• Mention swelling or fever—those are priority signals

• If a crown fell off, say whether the tooth is sensitive/painful

Insurance, cash pay, and payment plans

We support patients who:

• Use most major dental insurance

• Prefer cash pay

• Need payment plan options (where available)

No insurance? Still call. Early stabilization is often the most affordable version of an emergency.

What to bring

• Photo ID

• Insurance card (if applicable)

• Medications/allergies list

• Crown piece if it fell off

• Knocked-out tooth stored in milk/saline (don’t scrub)

What to do until your appointment

• Gentle warm salt water rinse

• Cold compress for swelling

• OTC meds as directed

• Don’t put aspirin on gums
