Dental emergencies are painful, stressful, and often happen at the most inconvenient times. At US Dental Professionals, our core value of urgency is put into action when you need us most. With 15 convenient locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Tampa Bay Metroplexes, including many offices located in Walmart Supercenters, we are readily accessible to address unexpected dental trauma, severe pain, or acute infection. We prioritize your comfort and immediate health by providing prompt, high-quality care, often accommodating walk-in appointments for emergencies.
Knowing when to seek immediate care is crucial for preserving your tooth and preventing the spread of infection. While not all toothaches are emergencies, severe symptoms that require urgent attention include:
If you experience any of these symptoms, please do not hesitate to drop by your nearest US Dental Professionals office immediately.
Our dental professionals are equipped to handle a wide range of emergencies, with the primary goal of relieving pain, stopping infection, and salvaging the affected tooth. Our comprehensive services ensure we can manage the situation from triage to final restoration.
| Emergency Situation | Immediate Home Care | US Dental Professionals Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Knocked-Out Tooth | Handle by the crown (top), rinse gently, and try to reinsert it, or store it in a cup of milk. | Replantation, stabilization with a splint, or immediate planning for a Dental Implant. |
| Severe Toothache | Rinse mouth with warm salt water; avoid aspirin on the gum tissue. | Exam and X-rays to diagnose the cause (e.g., pulp infection, fracture). |
| Abscess/Infection | Rinse with warm salt water; seek immediate attention for swelling. | Drainage of the infection, followed by Root Canal Treatment or extraction. |
| Broken/Chipped Tooth | Rinse mouth; apply a cold compress to the face to reduce swelling. | Tooth-Colored Filling (composite bonding) for minor chips, or a temporary/permanent Crown for large fractures. |
| Lost Filling/Crown | Use dental cement or a small piece of sugarless gum to cover the exposed area. | Placement of a temporary or permanent Crown or a new Filling. |
We understand that an emergency adds unplanned financial stress. That is why our commitment to affordability and transparency is vital during these times.
