Doctor Valerie Martins on dental emergencies
We have an answering service, so you can call us at any time and speak to a person. That will relay a message. It will email myself or a doctor here, or one of the other doctors, a message from you. First thing in the morning or later at night, as soon as we are able, we respond right away, whether it's via phone or email. We always try to accommodate our patients the same day for their emergencies. We don't like to see people in pain, obviously. Going to the dentist is very challenging for a lot of people. A lot of times people avoid going because of fears and previous experiences until something really bothers them. It's really important for us to take care of these people because hopefully, we can change their experience around so they can actually start focusing on wellness and not emergency care.
You’re a partner, not just a patient, at Martins Dental Partners. During any dental emergencies in Beverly, we’ll work with you to get you into our office ASAP to see one of dentists. Go ahead and program our number, 978-288-1946, into your phone. Calls are monitored 24/7. We’ll do our best to see you on the same day. In an emergency, we’ll:
- Use technology like intraoral cameras to diagnose your problem quickly
- Get you out of pain fast with local anesthesia
- Ease your anxiety with dental sedation, if you’d like
- Provide treatment to solve your problem, whether it’s performing a root canal or extracting a tooth that’s too damaged to save
Need emergency dental care? Call 978-288-1946.

We can get you out of pain.
If you're a patient of Martins Dental Partners, and you call in to dental emergency, we do have a 24 hour answering service. You leave a message with the answering service and one of the doctors on call, would call you back to discuss what's going on. We do have access to all of our charts and x-rays at home, so we'll be able to have a good sense of what's happening with a patient of our practice. We'll be able to submit for an antibiotic or a medication electronically to your pharmacy, and we try to get you in as soon as possible at our next open business hour. If you're new to our practice and you call our office for emergency care, we block out time daily for emergencies, and we try to fit you in as soon as possible.
Here are some treatments our dentists can provide for some of the most common emergencies:
- A root canal for a toothache caused by infection
- A tooth filling, inlay, or onlay for a toothache caused by a cavity
- A dental crown to repair a broken or cracked tooth
- A dental veneer for a broken front tooth
If a tooth is too damaged to save, we can gently remove it. No matter what kind of emergency dental care you need, we’ll get your mouth thoroughly numb with local anesthesia before we start.
Soothe Your Nerves With Dental Sedation
Even if you normally don’t feel nervous at the dentist, an emergency can increase your anxiety. To relax during treatment, you can get one of the forms of sedation we offer. Whether you just need a light sedative to take the edge off or would prefer to be deeply relaxed as your dentist works, we have a method that will work for you.
