When You Need an Emergency Dentist Right Away

Not sure if your situation counts as a dental emergency? If you are in pain, it likely does. You should contact an emergency dentist immediately if you are experiencing:

• Severe or persistent tooth pain

• Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face

• A cracked, broken, or knocked-out tooth

• Dental infection or abscess

• Bleeding that will not stop

• Lost or damaged fillings, crowns, or bridges

• Trauma to the mouth or teeth from an accident
  
  

Delaying emergency dental care can lead to infection, worsening pain, or permanent damage. Early treatment often means simpler, more affordable solutions.

Emergency Dental Visit FAQs

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, a broken or knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or dental trauma from an accident. If you are in pain or unsure, it is best to call an emergency dentist right away.

Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

Yes. Matlock Dentistry offers same-day emergency dental visits in Mansfield, TX, whenever possible. Calling earlier in the day improves the chance of being seen the same day.

Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?

For most dental issues, such as tooth pain, broken teeth, or infections, an emergency dentist is the right choice. Hospital emergency rooms typically cannot provide definitive dental treatment. Go to the ER only for life-threatening swelling, fever, or trauma.

Do emergency dental visits require X-rays?

In many cases, yes. Digital X-rays help identify the cause of pain or infection quickly and accurately, allowing the dentist to recommend the most effective treatment.

What should I do if I have a toothache outside of regular business hours?

If you develop a toothache or dental injury after hours, contact our office as soon as possible, the next business day. If swelling or pain becomes severe, do not wait to seek care.
