Common Dental Emergencies We Can Help With
Not every dental problem is an emergency, but many cannot wait. These are the situations we see most often:
Severe toothache
Pain that keeps you up at night or does not ease with rest.
Broken or chipped tooth
A sudden crack, chip or break from a fall, a sports injury or biting something hard.
Knocked-out tooth
A permanent tooth that comes out completely and needs urgent attention.
Lost filling or crown
A restoration that comes loose and leaves the tooth exposed.
Swelling or abscess
A painful, swollen gum or a bad taste in the mouth that may signal infection.
Injured gums, lips or tongue
Cuts and bites that will not settle on their own.
Not sure whether your problem counts? Call us and describe what is happening in as much detail as you can. We will help you decide how quickly you need to be seen.
Our approach to emergency dental care in Frisco, TX, is simple: we make time, we keep you comfortable and we explain every step.

What to Do Before You Reach Us
What you do in the first few minutes can make a real difference. These steps follow guidance from the American Dental Association.
Knocked-out tooth
Keep the tooth moist at all times. If you can, gently place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that is not possible, store it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Then get to us right away.
Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently use floss to remove any trapped food. Do not place aspirin on the tooth or gums.
Cracked or broken tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to your face to reduce swelling.
Bitten tongue or lip
Clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress.
Object stuck between teeth
Try to remove it gently with floss. Never use sharp or pointed tools.
Lost crown or filling
Save the piece and bring it with you if you can.
Go to the nearest emergency room if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or if swelling spreads across your face or neck. We can follow up with dental care once you are safe.

Why You Should Not Wait
It is tempting to hope a toothache will pass. Often, it does not. A dental infection can start with decay, gum disease or a cracked tooth. Bacteria can reach the soft tissue inside the tooth, and an abscess can form at the root.
An abscess often brings pain, swelling, red gums, a bad taste or fever. Left untreated, it can lead to a serious infection in the jawbone and the tissues around it.
Treatment depends on the cause. It may include antibiotics, draining the infection or a root canal to save the tooth. Early care usually means simpler treatment and a better chance of keeping your natural tooth.
The same is true for broken and knocked-out teeth. The sooner we see you, the more options we usually have. If you are looking for an emergency dentist in Frisco, TX, do not wait for the pain to become unbearable.
