Same-Day Emergency Care & Extractions
Burleson, Texas
Dental emergencies rarely occur at convenient times. A tooth breaks during dinner. You wake up with a throbbing ache that won't go away. Your child takes an elbow to the mouth during a game. When this happens, you need prompt, trusted care. At My Burleson Dentist, we understand the importance of getting the care you need without delay, which is why we reserve time in our schedule for same-day appointments.
If you or a family member experiences a dental emergency, give us a call at 817-345-6223. We'll provide you with care tips and guidance until we see you. Remember, if you have a life-threatening emergency, dial 911 for immediate assistance.

Common Dental Emergencies and Care Tips
Here is a look at some of the most common dental emergencies and care tips until we see you:
- A Severe, Persistent Toothache: Rinse gently and floss around the painful tooth to check for anything lodged between two teeth that may be causing the pain. Never place aspirin or any pain medication on the tooth to avoid gum damage. Call for same-day care.
- Facial Swelling: An abscess or facial swelling can be a serious infection requiring prompt care. If the swelling is severe and spreads near your eyes or neck, head to your nearest emergency room.
- An Abscess: A tooth abscess is a potentially serious infection that typically presents as a painful pimple-like bump on the gums. Left untreated, it can spread to the surrounding teeth and even pose a risk to your health, so it's important to seek prompt care.
- A Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown and rinse it gently, avoiding the root. Try to return it to its socket or place it in some milk or saliva and give us a call right away. The sooner a knocked-out tooth is treated, the better the chances of saving it.
- A Loose or Dislodged Tooth: Place gentle pressure to keep the tooth in place and use cold compresses to relieve any swelling. If the tooth is painful, over-the-counter pain relief medication can help. Call us for prompt care.
- A Chipped or Broken Tooth: Rinse with warm water and use cold compresses to reduce swelling. Keep any tooth fragments moist in some milk and bring them to your emergency appointment.
- Soft Tissue Injury (Gums, Tongue, Lips): Place gentle pressure to stop bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy and uncontrollable, head to your nearest hospital emergency room.
- Lost Crown or Filling: Use over-the-counter dental cement to protect the exposed tooth structure. Never use super glue to hold the restoration in place. Contact us for prompt care.
