Emergency Dentist Near Me - How to Handle Common Dental Emergencies

When an emergency dental care problem strikes, your first order of business should be calling your emergency dentist in Dallas so we can promptly schedule an appointment for you. If you’re unable to reach our office right away, we can provide guidance over the phone for how to manage your symptoms and relieve discomfort in the interim.

  • Toothaches: Is something trapped between your teeth? If the pain persists after rinsing and flossing, take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen. If there’s any swelling, applying a cold compress to your face in ten-minute intervals can help
  • Chipped/Broken Tooth: Retrieve as many pieces of the tooth as you can. Store them in a container with a secure lid and bring them with you to our office. To prevent the jagged edges of the remaining tooth from accidentally piercing your tongue, lips, or the inside of your cheek, cover it with a dab of sugar-free gum. A cold compress can curb swelling.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: You’ll need to move as quickly as possible in this situation. While it’s possible to replant a knocked-out tooth, the chances of success start to rapidly decrease after an hour has passed since the incident. Pick up the tooth without touching the root, rinse it off, and place it in your cheek pocket or a container of milk. This will keep it moist and alive until you arrive at our office.
  • Lost Filling/Crown: Rinse off the restoration and use a piece of sugarless gum or a smear of toothpaste to place it back on top of the tooth. Even if you’re not in pain, you should visit us for a permanent reattachment before any decay or damage can develop. In the meantime, avoid chewing with that tooth.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

While sudden oral injuries and serious toothaches can’t always be avoided, you can take some precautions to lower your risk of having to take time out of your day to visit your emergency dentist and deal with your emergency dental care issues. These include:

  • Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth strong and resistant to cavities and breakage.
  • Keep up with your biannual checkups and cleanings. That way, small problems can be treated before they snowball into full-blown emergencies.
  • Wear a mouthguard if you play sports and a nightguard if you grind your teeth while sleeping.
  • Don’t use your teeth to open bottles or packaging.
  • Avoid chewing on extremely hard objects like pens, pencils, ice, fingernails, hard candy, popcorn kernels, etc.

Cost Of Emergency Dental Care

Because there is a vast array of different types of dental emergencies, we can’t give you a cost estimate unless you come in and have us examine your smile. From there, we can determine the extent of the damage and go over your treatment options. Regardless of the problem, seeking care right away is always best because it can prevent your emergency from worsening and becoming pricier to treat. To make your care more affordable, we electronically file claims from all dental insurance plans on your behalf.

Dr. Davina Prida is well worth the drive from Houston. A four hour drive to get all my dental work done. She is gentle and extremely skilled! Update: Elizabeth did my teeth cleaning today and it was the best I have ever had!

Dr. Prida is the BEST!!! She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and warm. I love her entire staff and they love working together. In a world increasingly dominated by corporate dentistry and profit-driven care, Dr. Prida and her team truly stand apart. They do things the right way - with integrity, personal attention, and genuine care for every patient.

Today I got my brand new smile and I couldn’t be happier! My old smile used to have different shades of white, it was very embarrassing for me to smile for I was self conscious about it. Dr Prida gave me today the best gift of all, a beautiful new smile that I absolutely love! Dr Prida, her assistants Isma and Trish, Taylor and the rest of the staff are wonderful, friendly and professional. I fully recommend going to see her if you want to have a beautiful smile that makes you feel younger and happier!

After some pretty bad experiences at other dental offices, I was pleasantly surprised at the level of high quality from everyone. The whole staff was very knowledgeable and efficient. I will continue visiting this office and highly recommend Inwood Viilage Dental if anyone else is looking for a top notch dentist, Dr. Prida, and staff.

I am a devoted patient, as are my wife and son. Great team all around, pleasant to deal with, they explain everything and they are thorough. I couldn't ask any more from a dental practice. --------- Was back on Monday for my monthly Invisalign process. I had knocked a cap loose on Friday afternoon. It was handled quickly and painlessly. _____ Also Dr. Prida has a wonderful team, and they are extremely pleasant.
