Not Sure Your Tooth Problem Can't Wait?
A sudden toothache, a cracked molar, or a swollen cheek rarely shows up at a convenient time. Some problems settle down on their own. Many don't, and the ones that get worse tend to get more painful and more expensive to fix.
You should be seen by an emergency dentist if you have severe or throbbing tooth pain, bleeding that won't stop, swelling in your gums or face, or a tooth that has cracked, chipped, or come loose. If you're unsure, call our Meyerland office. We'll help you decide whether to come in today.

Emergency Dentist FAQs for Meyerland Patients
What counts as a dental emergency?
Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?
For most dental problems, an emergency dentist is the better choice because we can treat the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. Head to the nearest ER or call 911 if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading toward your eye or neck, a fever with facial swelling, or a serious head or jaw injury.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Act fast. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently with milk or water without scrubbing. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite down softly on clean gauze. If not, keep it in cold milk or a tooth-preservation solution, then call us right away. Reimplantation works best within about an hour.
Can a toothache wait until tomorrow?
Mild sensitivity might, but throbbing pain, pain that wakes you at night, swelling, a bad taste, or a fever are signs to be seen today. These can point to an infection or nerve damage that tends to worsen without treatment.
How can I ease tooth pain until my visit?
Rinse with warm salt water, hold a cold compress against your cheek in 15-minute intervals, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed if it's safe for you. Don't place aspirin directly on the gum, since it can burn the tissue, and avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods.
