Emergency Dentist in Plainfield, IN
Severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a cracked crown? Bloom Dental's Dan Jones Rd office works emergency patients into the schedule the same day, most days, with no referral required.
Same-Day Relief When a Dental Problem Cannot Wait
If you are searching for an emergency dentist in Plainfield, IN, Bloom Dental's office at 167 Dan Jones Rd treats dental emergencies with same-day appointments most days, right where I-70 meets Dan Jones Rd.
Dental pain rarely waits for a convenient time. It hits mid-shift for the warehouse and logistics workers filling the roughly 5,000 jobs in Plainfield's east-side distribution district near Indianapolis International Airport. It hits during a Plainfield Community School Corporation practice when a kid takes a ball to the mouth. It hits on a Sunday drive home from Perry Crossing when a filling comes loose on a bite of popcorn. Whatever the cause, waiting makes most dental emergencies worse, not better.
Dr. Ben Dawson handles emergency exams, diagnosis, and most treatment in-house at this one Plainfield address. That means no runaround to an outside oral surgeon for a routine extraction or a cracked tooth. You call, you get seen, and you leave with a real plan instead of a referral slip.

Six Situations That Mean You Should Call Today
Not every dental problem is an emergency, but these are the ones our Plainfield team treats as urgent. When in doubt, call (317) 204-3111 and describe what you're seeing.
Knocked-Out Tooth
The most time-sensitive emergency. Handle the tooth carefully, keep it moist, and call us immediately for the best chance of saving it.
Severe Toothache
Sharp, throbbing, or constant pain often signals decay or infection near the nerve. It rarely resolves on its own and can worsen quickly.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
From a fall, a bite on something hard, or sports contact. Exposed inner tooth structure needs protection before decay or infection sets in.
Lost Filling or Crown
The tooth underneath is suddenly unprotected. It may not hurt at first, but it needs a same-day or next-day fix to avoid a bigger repair.
Abscess or Facial Swelling
A bump on the gum, a bad taste, or swelling in the face or jaw can mean an active infection. This needs same-day attention.
Dental Trauma
A hard hit to the mouth from sports, a fall, or an accident can loosen or crack teeth even without visible damage. Get it checked.
If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out
General first-aid guidance while you get to our Plainfield office or the nearest emergency room. This is not a substitute for evaluation by Dr. Dawson.
-
1
Pick the tooth up by the crown (the chewing surface), never by the root.
-
2
If it's dirty, rinse it gently with water only. Do not scrub it or use soap.
-
3
Try placing it back in the socket facing the right way, without forcing it.
-
4
If it won't stay in place, keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum.
-
5
Call (317) 204-3111 right away and head to our Dan Jones Rd office.
-
6
Time matters. Acting within the first hour gives the tooth the best chance of being saved.
This guidance covers general first aid only and is not a diagnosis. For heavy bleeding that will not stop, facial swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, or a suspected jaw fracture, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Dr. Dawson keeps room in the daily schedule for patients calling with genuine emergencies, so a toothache or broken tooth usually gets seen the same day you call.

The Dentist Who Sees You When It Counts
Dr. Ben Dawson, DDS
Doctor of Dental Surgery · Bloom Dental PlainfieldEmergency patients don't usually plan to see Dr. Dawson. A tooth breaks on a Tuesday, pain shows up overnight, or a kid takes an elbow at a school gym in the Plainfield Community School Corporation, and suddenly a dentist visit that wasn't on the calendar becomes the most urgent thing in the day.
His approach in those moments is the same every time: figure out what's actually wrong, explain it clearly, and treat it the same visit whenever that's possible. Most emergency cases at this office, from a cracked molar to an infected tooth, are handled start to finish right here at 167 Dan Jones Rd, without sending a patient somewhere else at the worst possible time.
Patients driving in from Avon, Brownsburg, or Mooresville, and workers coming straight from the warehouse district near the airport, tell him the same thing: they just wanted someone to take the problem seriously and fix it fast. That's the standard he holds every emergency visit to.

Emergency Dentistry Questions from Plainfield & Hendricks County Patients
Straight answers to the questions our Dan Jones Rd team hears most often.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any dental problem involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling, or a knocked-out or badly broken tooth. Common examples include a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache that will not stop, a broken or chipped tooth, a lost filling or crown, an abscess with visible swelling, and dental trauma from a fall or sports injury. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, call (317) 204-3111 and our team will help you decide.
Does Bloom Dental Plainfield offer same-day emergency appointments?
We work emergency patients into the schedule the same day, most days, at our 167 Dan Jones Rd office. Dr. Dawson keeps openings for urgent cases alongside routine visits, so a toothache or broken tooth usually does not mean waiting until next week. Call as early in the day as you can for the best chance at a same-day slot.
Should I call first or can I just walk in for an emergency?
Call first. A quick call to (317) 204-3111 lets our team confirm same-day availability, get a brief description of your symptoms, and have the right equipment ready before you arrive. Walking in without calling means you may end up waiting behind scheduled patients while we work you in, so a two-minute call up front usually gets you seen faster.
Will my insurance cover an emergency dental visit in Plainfield?
Most dental plans cover at least part of an emergency exam and X-rays, and many cover a portion of the treatment that follows. We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, DentaQuest, and AlwaysCare, and our team verifies your benefits before treatment so you know your costs upfront. If you are uninsured, ask about our Dental Membership Program and financing through CareCredit and Proceed Finance.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and avoid touching or scrubbing the root surface. If you can, gently rinse it with water only and try placing it back in the socket without forcing it. If that is not possible, keep it moist in a cup of milk or between your cheek and gum, then call (317) 204-3111 and get to our Plainfield office right away. The American Dental Association's MouthHealthy guidance on dental emergencies covers this and other situations in more detail.
What if my dental emergency happens after hours or on a Friday?
Call the Plainfield office at (317) 204-3111 and leave a detailed message with your name, symptoms, and a callback number. On Fridays our phones are staffed even though we do not hold clinical hours, so our team can help you plan next steps and get you on the schedule for the next available day. For a true emergency such as heavy uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or a jaw injury, go to the nearest emergency room or urgent care immediately rather than waiting for a callback.
I chipped a tooth or lost a filling but I am not in severe pain. Do I still need to come in right away?
Yes, sooner is better even without severe pain. A chipped tooth or a lost filling exposes the inner tooth structure to bacteria and temperature changes, and what feels minor today can turn into a deeper problem within days. Call (317) 204-3111 and we will typically get you in within a day or two to protect the tooth before it becomes a bigger, more expensive repair.
