Emergency Dentist in Goodyear, AZ
Know What's Wrong, Get Relief, and Leave With a Clear Next Step.
You don’t need to know whether it’s officially an emergency before you call. If a tooth is throbbing, cracked, swollen, or suddenly loose, our emergency dentist in Goodyear sets aside time every day for urgent visits, often the same day. A $99 emergency exam shows what’s happening, what needs attention now, and what can safely wait.

a $99 Emergency Exam

Francis Dental treats dental emergencies. If you have facial swelling with a fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a head or jaw injury from a serious accident, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room first.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is a tooth, gum, or jaw problem that needs care within hours to stop severe pain, control bleeding or swelling, or save a damaged tooth. Common dental emergencies include a severe toothache, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, an abscess or swollen gum, and a lost crown or filling that leaves the tooth exposed. Some dental emergencies are quiet, like a cracked tooth that barely hurts.
You don’t have to diagnose it yourself. One call tells you what needs attention now and what can wait.

Digital x-rays show cracks, infection, and damage below the gumline. Dr. Tyler Francis walks you through the images, so you know exactly what happened to the tooth.

Signs Your Dental
Situation Is an Emergency
Pain That Won't Let You Sleep or Eat
Throbbing pain, or pain that over-the-counter medicine can't control, usually means decay or infection has reached the nerve.
Swelling or a Bad Taste Near One Tooth
Gum swelling, a pimple on the gum, or a bad taste near a tooth are signs of an abscess, which won't heal on its own.
A Broken, Loose, or Knocked-Out Tooth
A damaged or knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when it's seen within hours, even if it barely hurts.
A Lost Crown or Filling
An exposed tooth is open to sensitivity, breakage, and decay until it's covered again.

Dentist the Same Day?

FAQs
Frequently
Asked Questions
See a dentist for most toothaches, broken teeth, and lost crowns, because a hospital ER usually can't repair the tooth. Go to the ER first if facial swelling comes with fever or trouble breathing or swallowing.
Call right away, because a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour. Hold it by the crown, never the root, and rinse it gently. Press it back into the socket if you can, or keep it in milk on the way in.
Yes. Pain that fades on its own can mean the nerve inside the tooth is dying while the infection keeps spreading. An exam and x-rays show whether the tooth needs treatment before the pain returns.
The emergency exam is $99, and treatment cost depends on what the tooth needs. Francis Dental accepts most major PPO plans, offers an in-house membership plan, and provides payment plans through Cherry, CareCredit, and LendingPoint.
Often, yes. Time is set aside every day for urgent visits, and calling early gives you the best chance at a same-day opening.
