  • Jaw Pain


How soon can I be seen?

How soon can I be seen?

 We see emergency patients the same day. For severe dental emergencies after hours between 6PM-8PM, such as significant  infection, pain, trauma or lost teeth, please call or text 240-232-2844 and Dr. Njinguet will promptly respond and address your emergency.

interim Pain Management

If you can’t get into our office immediately, here is a list of effective home remedies and tips to

  • Warm water rinses for sore teeth and gums.
  • Over the counter pain medication such as ibuprofen (NOT aspirin).
  • Ice packs applied to the outside of cheeks.
  • Dental anesthetics containing benzocaine may be used as directed on the package for pain.
  • Avoid overly hot and cold beverages and foods to reduce sensitivity.
  • Heating pads may be used for jaw pain.
  • Avoid chewing in the injured area.
  • If a broken tooth has a sharp edge, cotton can be placed over it to protect soft tissues in your mouth.


Pain-Free Emergencies:  Some dental emergencies may not  cause pain initially.  For example, a cracked tooth may not hurt, but  it may lead to nerve damage in the roots.  For this reason, please schedule an appointment immediately, whether or not pain is  present.
