Know the Signs
A dental emergency is any problem that causes severe pain, bleeding, swelling, infection or damage that could cost you a tooth if it waits. If you are unsure, call us; our team will help you decide how urgent it is.
Many people put off care because the pain comes and goes. Unfortunately, most dental problems do not heal on their own. A cracked tooth can split further, an infection can spread and a lost filling lets decay move faster. Being seen early usually means simpler, more comfortable treatment.
Emergencies We Treat
We handle the most common dental emergencies in one visit whenever possible, starting with pain relief and a clear diagnosis.
Exam and X-rays to find the cause, then treatment to stop the pain. See severe tooth pain care.
Bonding, crowns or other repairs to protect the tooth. Learn about our broken tooth emergency dentist.
Infection control, drainage when needed and a plan to save the tooth. Read about tooth abscess treatment.
Simple, surgical and wisdom tooth removal when a tooth cannot be saved. See wisdom teeth removal.
Call (713) 999-5328 and we will triage your symptoms and get you in the same day.
Before You Arrive
Stay calm, protect the area and call (713) 999-5328 so we can prepare for you. These first-aid steps help until you are in the chair.
STEP 01
Hold it by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently without scrubbing and keep it in milk or in your cheek. Come in as quickly as possible.
STEP 02
Rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold compress on the outside of your face to limit swelling.
STEP 03
Rinse with warm water and floss gently to remove trapped food. Do not place aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.
STEP 04
Press a clean cloth on the area and use a cold compress. Heavy bleeding that will not stop needs prompt care.
STEP 05
Keep the crown if you have it and avoid chewing on that side. We can often recement or replace it the same day.
Safety First
Most dental emergencies are best treated by a dentist, but some symptoms need a hospital emergency room right away.
We are open 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends. Walk in or call ahead.
Your Visit
From your first call to the end of treatment, our goal is quick relief and honest answers. You will always know the cost before we begin.
When you call, we ask a few questions about your symptoms so we know what to expect. When you arrive, the dentist examines the area and takes X-rays if needed. We explain what we found, your treatment options and the cost, then begin care to relieve pain the same day whenever possible. If you need follow-up treatment such as a crown, we schedule it before you leave. Comfort options are discussed with you before any procedure.

FAQ
Severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, an abscess, bleeding that will not stop and a lost filling or crown are all dental emergencies. If something in your mouth hurts badly or looks wrong after an injury, call us and we will help you decide how quickly you need to be seen.
Yes. Walk-In Dental Clinic accepts walk-in patients 7 days a week. Calling (713) 999-5328 first lets us triage your symptoms and prepare for your arrival, which can shorten your wait.
Yes. We are open 7 days a week, including Saturdays, Sundays and evenings, so you do not have to wait until Monday for relief. See our weekend dentist page for more.
For most tooth pain, a dentist is the right choice because we can treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Go to the ER or call 911 if swelling affects breathing or swallowing, spreads toward your eye or neck, or comes with a high fever.
The cost depends on the exam, X-rays and treatment you need. We explain all costs before we begin, accept most dental insurance and offer discounts and payment plans for patients without insurance.
Pick it up by the crown, rinse it gently without scrubbing and keep it moist in milk or inside your cheek. Come to the clinic as quickly as you can, because the sooner a tooth is treated, the better the chance of saving it.
