Same Day Emergency Dentistry in San Antonio

In the midst of a dental emergency, deciding whether you need to see an emergency dentist (or not) can be challenging. These signs can help you decide if you need emergency dentistry:

Toothache or Swelling Not Caused by Facial Injury
Dental pain and swelling are tell-tale signs of infection. Since oral infections can quickly turn for the worst, we strongly suggest scheduling an emergency dentistry appointment as soon as possible.
Fractured, Cracked, or Chipped Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply cold compresses to minimize swelling, and take over-the-counter medication until you can meet with an emergency dentist. If possible, bring the tooth fragment to your emergency dentistry appointment.
Lost Filling, Crown, or Dental Restoration
Certain foods and habits can cause existing dental fillings, crowns, and restorations to feel loose or fall out. If this happens, safely store the restoration in a Ziplock bag and book an emergency dentistry appointment.
Loose or Knocked-Out Tooth
If a permanent tooth feels loose, apply a cold compress, take over-the-counter medication, and avoid hard and sticky foods that could make your tooth fall out until your emergency dental appointment. If a permanent tooth falls out, pick it up from the crown (not the root), place it in a glass of milk, and schedule an emergency dentistry appointment.

What is Considered an Emergency Dental Service?

When you’re amid the panic of a dental emergency, it’s essential to remain calm and follow the following steps:

  • Step 1: Remain calm.
