Same-Day Treatments That Fix the Problem

Emergencies get treated, not just triaged. Depending on what we find, that can mean same-day tooth extraction, root canal treatment to save an infected tooth, or a temporary crown to protect a break until the permanent one is ready.

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, abscesses, or injuries to the gums and jaw that require immediate attention.

Can I wait to see a dentist for a toothache?

It's not recommended. A persistent toothache could indicate a serious issue like an infection or cavity. Seek immediate dental care to prevent further complications.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Rinse the tooth gently without scrubbing. Place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saline. Seek immediate dental care to increase the chances of saving the tooth.

How can I manage pain until I see a dentist?

Use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth until you can see a dentist.

Can I see an emergency dentist in San Antonio today?

Yes — we hold same-day emergency slots and take walk-ins. Call 254-492-3224 and we'll get you in.

What if it's after hours?

Our phone line is answered 24/7. You'll get guidance immediately and the first available appointment.

Yes — we're a family practice and see pediatric emergencies the same day.
