Get Fast Oral Health Relief With Emergency Dentistry

Acting appropriately in dental emergencies is crucial since that can determine whether a tooth is lost or preserved. If you live in or near the Arlington, TX, area, it's very easy; all you have to do is give our experienced and smile-focused emergency dentist, Dr. Doctor, a call!

How We Address Common Dental Emergencies

Below are a few examples of dental emergencies and what you can do to manage the situation until you are able to see our doctor:

Toothaches: An infection, an enamel crack, or simply something stuck in between teeth can all cause persistent tooth pain. If the issue continues even after gently cleaning the area around the sore tooth, use an over-the-counter medication and apply a cold compress to the face.

Chipped/ Broken Teeth: To manage and mitigate any pain and swelling, apply a cold compress. To protect the inside of the mouth, try to recover as much of the tooth as you can. If the tooth that remains has a sharp edge, make sure it is covered with dental wax or sugarless gum.

Knocked-Out Tooth: A knocked-out tooth can only be replaced within an hour, so act quickly by calling us. Rinse it gently without touching the root, and try placing it back in its socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk, saltwater, or between your cheek and gums.

Lost Filling/ Crown: Try to recover the restoration and place it back onto the tooth or keep it in a secure location before bringing it to our clinic for recementing. Until you can reach our office, a small bit of toothpaste should help it stay in place.

If you have a sudden toothache that’s led to a throbbing pain, you may be in need of root canal therapy. Even the most damaged teeth can be saved from extraction by Dr. Doctor.
