Emergencies we treat — today
Severe toothaches can signal deep decay, a damaged filling, or infection. Chipped or broken teeth from accidents or hard bites can expose nerves. Lost fillings or crowns leave a tooth vulnerable to bacteria and further damage. Abscesses and infections can spread to surrounding tissue and threaten your overall health. And knocked-out teeth can sometimes be saved — especially when handled within the crucial first hour.
If you’re experiencing any of these — or another acute concern — call right away. Our front-desk team is trained to triage the urgency of your situation and schedule the earliest possible appointment, often the same day.
Unexpected bills add stress to a hard day, so our front office also helps clarify insurance benefits and financing options — urgent care should be accessible when you need it most.
First aid that can save your tooth
Toothache
Rinse with warm water and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Don’t place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum — it irritates the tissue.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Pick it up by the crown, never the roots. Rinse gently if dirty — don’t scrub. Place it back in the socket if possible, or store in milk or your own saliva, and get here fast.
Broken Tooth or Crown
Save every piece. Rinse with warm water and control bleeding with gauze until you arrive.
Soft Tissue Injury
For cut lips, cheeks, or tongue: pressure with a clean cloth to stop bleeding, cold compress for swelling.
What happens when you arrive
Assess & relieve first
We evaluate quickly and prioritize immediate interventions to alleviate pain and stabilize the situation, with digital X-rays revealing hidden fractures or infections.
A clear plan, then treatment
Depending on severity: repairing a fracture, draining an abscess, placing a filling or crown, or performing a root canal — options explained before anything begins.
Comfort and aftercare
Local anesthesia plus sedation options like nitrous oxide or oral sedation keep you comfortable, and you leave with clear guidance on medications, follow-ups, and home care.

Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?
Yes, in most cases. Emergency time is reserved every weekday at both offices. Call North Austin at (512) 795-9960 or Georgetown at (512) 713-1101 and the front-desk team will triage your situation and schedule you as early as possible.
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Act fast — the first hour is crucial. Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the roots), rinse gently without scrubbing, place it back in the socket if you can, or store it in milk or your own saliva, and call immediately.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or persistent toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses or facial swelling, knocked-out teeth, and soft-tissue injuries. When in doubt, call — the team will help you judge the urgency.
What if I can’t afford emergency treatment right now?
Don’t let cost keep you from calling. The front office will clarify your insurance benefits and explore financing options so urgent care stays accessible and manageable.
Will emergency treatment hurt?
Pain relief comes first: local anesthesia and, if needed, sedation options like nitrous oxide or oral sedation keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your visit.
