What counts as a dental emergency?

Any situation causing significant pain, bleeding, swelling, or involving a knocked-out or broken tooth is a dental emergency. When in doubt, call us — we'd rather you call and find out it's not urgent than wait on something that needs immediate care.

Can you see me the same day?

Yes — we prioritize dental emergencies and do our best to see you the same day. Call us at (512) 441-2098 as early as possible. After hours, our voicemail provides guidance for common emergencies.

What does the emergency visit fee cover?

The $79 emergency visit fee covers a limited examination and targeted X-rays to diagnose the problem. Treatment (such as a filling, extraction, or crown) is quoted separately and clearly communicated before we proceed.

First Aid: What to Do Right Now

For a knocked-out tooth: handle by the crown only, rinse gently, reinsert if possible, or store in milk — and get to us within 30 minutes. For toothaches: rinse with warm salt water, take ibuprofen (best for dental pain), and call us immediately. For a broken tooth: rinse, apply cold compress to reduce swelling, save any pieces, and call us.

When to Go to the ER Instead

Go to the emergency room immediately if you have significant facial swelling extending into the neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever with dental pain, or uncontrolled bleeding. These may indicate a spreading infection that requires immediate medical attention.
