What to Expect at Our Lakewood Office

1

Lamar Station W Line arrival route

If you're coming from downtown Denver or the Federal Center, the W Line drops you at Lamar Station and the office is a short walk west on Colfax. Front desk confirms your ride home before booking the drain recheck so you're not stuck after our 7 PM close.

2

7611 W Colfax Suite D lot entry

The Suite D entrance faces W Colfax with parking at the building lot, so a parent carrying a swollen-cheek kid doesn't navigate a shared garage or a separate medical-plaza lobby. Check in at the Suite D door, not the main building entrance.

3

80214 Spanish-first swelling intake

Intake happens in Spanish at the front desk without waiting for a translator app. Fever, swallowing, and onset questions are asked before paperwork so airway concerns route to Dr. Williams first.

Why Swelling in Face or Jaw Can't Wait — Lakewood

Dental emergencies get worse by the hour. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.

✓

Untreated spreading facial or jaw infection can progress to Ludwig's angina or orbital cellulitis — a hospital admission, not a dental visit.

✓

Fever, difficulty swallowing, or trouble breathing alongside swelling are emergency signs that warrant same-day evaluation, not a wait-and-see over the weekend.

✓

Heat packs and leftover antibiotics from an old prescription accelerate spread and mask severity — cold compresses externally and a same-day exam are the right call.

What's Included in Your Swelling in Face or Jaw — Lakewood

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Lakewood, CO for swelling in face or jaw:

1.

Airway and swallowing triage exam

Clinical assessment of airway patency, swallowing, and the extent of swelling happens before any imaging, because trismus or difficulty breathing routes you directly to Dr. Williams or the ER.

2.

CBCT or panoramic source localization

CBCT or a panoramic film localizes the offending tooth and maps the infection track before any incision is made.

3.

Incision at the fluctuant dependent point

Local anesthetic is placed and a small incision is made at the most dependent point of the fluctuant swelling to drain purulent material cleanly.

4.

Saline irrigation with rubber drain

The cavity is irrigated with saline and a rubber drain is placed when the pocket needs to stay open for the first 24–48 hours.

5.

Amoxicillin or clindamycin empirical therapy

Empirical oral antibiotics — amoxicillin first-line, or clindamycin for penicillin-allergic patients — are prescribed per current ADA guidance when systemic signs are present.

6.

Source tooth endodontic therapy or extraction

Definitive source control follows drainage with endodontic therapy of the offending tooth or extraction with socket curettage, because antibiotics alone do not cure a dental abscess.

Frequently Asked Questions About Swelling in Face or Jaw

Where exactly is the Lakewood office for a swelling emergency?

We're at 7611 W Colfax Ave Suite D, Lakewood, CO 80214, on the north side of Colfax between the Wadsworth and Sheridan corridors. Call (983) 210-0228 before you leave so we can prep a chair.

Can I be seen the same day if my face is swelling after hours?

We hold same-day slots Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM. If the swelling is worsening on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday when we're closed, go to the nearest ER — airway and swallowing compromise do not wait for Monday.

Is bilingual intake available for Spanish-speaking family members?

Yes. Our front desk handles Spanish-first check-in and writes out the antibiotic and drain-care instructions in Spanish before you leave.

Is there parking at the Colfax location?

There's a lot at the Suite D entrance off W Colfax, and the RTD W Line Lamar Station is a short walk east if you're coming from downtown Denver or Golden.

About This Office

Swelling in Face or Jaw in Lakewood

What makes our Lakewood office unique for swelling in face or jaw

Swelling in Face or Jaw for Lakewood Families

Our Lakewood office sits at 7611 W Colfax Ave Suite D, right on the historic US-40 corridor through the 80214 ZIP. We're a short walk from Lamar Station on the RTD W Line and the 40 West Arts District, which pulls bilingual families from Two Creeks, Eiber, and the neighborhoods north of Sloan's Lake.

Swelling in the face or jaw doesn't care about work schedules, so we stack same-day slots on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 7 PM and Saturdays from 9 to 3 — the two windows that matter most when a Jeffco parent notices a cheek puffing up after school or a spouse's PPO kicks in mid-week. Spanish-first intake is standard at the front desk, and every emergency route starts with an airway check, not paperwork.

If the swelling is tracking fast, call (983) 210-0228 before you drive over so we can clear a chair.
