Emergency Dental Care in Roseville, MN
When Dental Emergencies Happen, We’re Here
Tooth pain, a cracked tooth, or sudden swelling rarely happens at a “convenient” time. That’s why we make room in our schedule for same-day or next-day emergency visits. At Bates Dental Care, we understand how stressful a dental emergency can feel so our goal is to relieve your pain quickly, clearly explain your options, and help you get back to feeling normal again.
Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth or a throbbing toothache that woke you up at 3 AM, you don’t have to tough it out. Just give us a call, and we’ll walk you through the next best step.

Quick Check-In and Assessment
We’ll get you in as soon as possible and begin by understanding what’s happening and what symptoms you’re feeling.
Digital X-Rays (if needed)
If we can’t see the full issue with a visual exam alone, we’ll use digital imaging to check for damage or infection.
Relief First, Treatment Second
Our priority is to relieve your pain. Whether that’s a filling, medication, or temporary repair, we’ll act fast to stabilize the issue.
Clear Plan Moving Forward
We’ll explain your treatment options and help you make an informed decision based on your comfort and schedule.
Scheduling Your Follow-Up (if needed)

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires immediate treatment—but if you're in pain, experiencing swelling, or something feels broken or off, it's important to give us a call. Common dental emergencies include things like intense tooth pain that won’t go away, a cracked or chipped tooth, sudden facial swelling, or a tooth that’s been knocked out. You might also notice a lost filling or crown, bleeding gums, or signs of an infection like a bad taste or pus.
Even if you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, we're here to help you figure it out. Getting seen quickly can often prevent more serious problems and save you from bigger treatment needs later on.


Follow-Up and Recovery
After the initial emergency care, we’ll guide you through what comes next—whether that’s placing a permanent restoration, completing a root canal, or monitoring healing. You won’t be left wondering what to do.
We’ll provide easy aftercare instructions and answer any questions, so you feel confident and supported at every step. You’ll also have our contact info in case anything feels off once you leave the office.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental emergencies are never planned. Here’s what people often ask when they need fast care.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and call us immediately. We may be able to save it if treated quickly.

In most cases, yes. We reserve space in our schedule for emergency appointments—call us and we’ll do our best.
What if I don’t have insurance?
We offer flexible payment options and will work with you to find a solution that fits your needs.
Do I need to be in pain to come in?
Not necessarily. If something feels off, like a loose tooth or swelling, it’s always smart to have us check it out.

No. Our emergency visits are priced fairly and transparently, and we’ll discuss any treatment costs before moving forward.
