FAQs

Is a tooth infection serious?

Yes. Though some may be more severe than others, all infections are serious as they can spread throughout your mouth and your body if left untreated.

Should I go to an ER with my dental emergency?

When it comes to treating dental emergencies, hospitals are very limited. It is important to note that they are unable to perform any dental procedures, but they may be able to offer you medication to help fight off infection or to ease your pain.

Is a broken tooth a dental emergency?

Sometimes. You should always see your dentist as soon as possible if you have a broken tooth. But those that are broken down to the gum line or that have exposed the pulp area of the tooth may be treated as an emergency.

At our dental offices, we provide trusted emergency dental care when urgent needs arise. Our emergency dentists can handle most common dental emergencies, such as a chipped tooth, cracked tooth, loose tooth, knocked out tooth, broken dentures, or lost fillings. From tooth extractions, dental fillings, tooth colored fillings, to custom-made dental crown work and dental implants, we restore damaged teeth and protect each permanent tooth with personalized tooth replacement options.

We also treat tooth sensitivity and provide solutions to handle sensitive teeth. If you struggle with jaw pain from TMJ disorder, or issues like chronic teeth grinding, we can help. Our team also offers cosmetic dentistry alongside urgent dental services.

If you face a serious infection, severe pain, or a severe toothache, contact our office immediately for a same-day appointment and thorough emergency exam. In critical cases, go to the local emergency room immediately. For temporary relief, use a cold compress, rinse with warm water, or apply dental wax to the affected tooth until your emergency visit.

To help make dental emergencies affordable, we work with your insurance provider, accept most dental insurance, and create a clear treatment plan. Visit a dentist regularly for preventing dental emergencies, reducing many dental emergencies, and protecting your long-term oral health in Belton and Temple, TX.
