Tooth Emergency in Southside Place? Get Seen Today
Is Your Dental Problem an Emergency?
Some dental problems can wait for a routine visit. Others can’t. Sharp or throbbing pain, a cracked tooth, bleeding that won’t stop, or swelling in your gums or face all deserve prompt attention. Left alone, these problems often spread, get harder to fix, and cost more to treat.
If you’re unsure, trust your gut. Call our Southside Place office and we’ll help you decide whether you should come in right away. An $89 emergency exam gives you a clear diagnosis and a plan, so you aren’t guessing at home.

Emergency Dentist FAQs
What counts as a dental emergency?
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Act quickly, because time matters. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or water without scrubbing. Try to place it back in the socket and bite gently on clean gauze to hold it. If that isn’t possible, keep it in cold milk or a tooth-preservation solution rather than plain water. Then call us right away, since a tooth has the best chance of surviving if it’s replanted within about an hour.
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 actual cause. An ER typically offers pain medication or antibiotics but can’t repair the tooth. Head to the ER or call 911 if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads toward your eye or neck, a high fever with facial swelling, or a serious head or jaw injury.
Can a toothache wait until morning?
Mild sensitivity might. Pain that is intense, throbbing, or getting worse usually points to infection or nerve damage and shouldn’t wait. Swelling, a bad taste in your mouth, fever, or pain that wakes you at night are all signs to call us right away.
How can I ease tooth pain before my visit?
Rinse with warm salt water and hold a cold compress against your cheek in 15-minute intervals. You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label, if it’s safe for you. Don’t place aspirin directly on the gum, because it can burn the tissue. Stay away from very hot, cold, or hard foods until you’re seen.
