Common situations for which you may need a Houston Emergency Dentist:

  • A toothache. If the pain is coming from the inside of a tooth, this is almost always an indication that the pulp of the tooth is irritated. There could be a large cavity in the tooth, but there doesn’t have to be. There could be decay under an old filling. Sometimes small cracks in the tooth can allow bacteria to enter and infect the tooth. Sometimes part of the tooth wears away, exposing sensitive parts of the tooth.
  • An infection in your mouth. A draining abscess may not hurt at the moment, so it may not seem urgent. But whenever an infection is in or around a tooth, it almost always requires some dental treatment to fix the problem. Antibiotics alone can’t get rid of an infection whose source is inside a tooth, or an infection that is a result of gum disease.
  • A broken tooth. A broken front tooth may not cause pain, but can be an aesthetic emergency. A dental bonding repair doesn’t take long and can make you presentable so that you can avoid embarrassment. If you have the broken piece, bring it with you; sometimes we can bond it back into place.
  • Traumatic injury. Blows to the face can cause broken teeth and can even knock a tooth out. If you have had a tooth knocked out, come in immediately. Bring the tooth with you, and place it in slightly warm milk or a moist towel to keep the ligament alive. We may be able to replant it if you can get here fast enough.
