Emergency care FAQs

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe or worsening tooth pain, a knocked out or badly broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial swelling. Swelling that affects your eye, throat, or breathing belongs in the emergency room first, not a dental office.

Are any dentists in Des Moines open on weekends or late?

Based on posted hours, 1 of the 10 dentists listed here open on Saturday or Sunday and 3 stay open past 6pm on weekdays. Hours change, so call to confirm before traveling.

How do I get seen fastest?

Call instead of booking online, say the word "emergency", and describe the symptom. Front desks triage by urgency; 10 of the listings below have a phone number you can tap to call. If the first office cannot fit you in, ask them who nearby can.

What if it is after hours right now?

Use our near-me search to sort dentists by distance with live open-now status. For unbearable pain, an urgent care clinic can prescribe interim relief, and true medical emergencies belong at 911 or the ER.

Hours come from each practice's public listing and can change without notice - always call ahead. This page is not medical advice; for life-threatening symptoms call 911.
