Weekend Emergency Dentist Spokane | Open Saturday & Sunday
Tooth pain has a weird hobby: showing up on Friday night, ruining Saturday, and daring you to wait until Monday. If you’re searching for an emergency dentist open weekends in Spokane, you’re not being “extra.” You’re being realistic.
Weekend emergency dental care exists for one reason: the problems that cannot wait. Severe toothaches, swelling, broken teeth, lost crowns, and injuries don’t care about business hours, and they can get worse fast.

What counts as a weekend dental emergency
Call right away if you’re dealing with:
Severe tooth pain that’s worsening
Swollen gums or facial swelling
Fever with dental pain
A broken tooth (sharp edges, exposed tooth, sensitivity)
A crown or filling that fell out
Trauma from sports, falls, accidents
Bad taste or drainage (possible infection)
If you can’t sleep or eat, it’s not “minor.”
Why waiting until Monday can be a costly mistake
Over a weekend, common “small” problems can escalate:
A crack spreads into a fracture
Inflammation ramps pain
Infection risk increases
Monday schedules fill fast, extending the misery
In Spokane, weekend care can prevent the “Monday morning scramble” where you’re competing with everyone who tried to wait it out.
What weekend emergency dentistry can do
Weekend visits can involve real treatment, not just “a quick look.”
Depending on your case:
Exam and X-rays
Temporary fillings/restorations
Crown re-cementing or temporary coverage
Stabilizing cracks/broken edges
Infection-related urgent evaluation
Extraction when appropriate
Clear plan for follow-up treatment
The goal is to stabilize and improve, not just postpone.
