No Insurance? Ask about our in-house dental membership plans, which all include unlimited problem-focused and emergency exams.

What To Do Until You Arrive
General Emergency: Stay calm and call us. If it’s life-threatening, call 911.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Gently pick up by the crown. If possible, try to reinsert it within 30 minutes. If not, keep it in milk or saline solution and get to our office ASAP.
Cracked or Broken Tooth: Rinse gently with lukewarm water. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Sudden/Severe Toothache: Apply a cold compress to your cheek. Over-the-counter pain relievers can offer temporary relief.
Loose/Lost Filling or Crown: Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water or saline. If you have the crown/filling, bring it with you.
Abscess: Seek immediate dental or emergency room care. Rinse with lukewarm saltwater and use OTC pain relievers.
Even if you’re not sure if your situation counts as an emergency, call us. We can still give you advice over the phone to manage discomfort and ease your mind. If you can’t reach us for whatever reason, call the emergency line for the nearest hospital.
What To Bring With You To Your Appointment
- Identification and Insurance Information: Bring your driver’s license or ID card, and if you have dental insurance, bring your insurance card as well. This will help our team process your information as quickly as possible.
- Payment Method: Be prepared to pay for your visit. While you can discuss payment options with the office in advance, it’s good to have a credit card or debit card handy.
- Medication List (Optional): If you’re currently taking any medications for pain management or chronic medication, bring a list with the names and dosages. This information can be helpful for your dentist to determine if there are any interactions with potential emergency dental treatments.
- Dislodged Tooth or Filling (If Applicable): In case of a knocked-out tooth, a chipped tooth fragment, or a dislodged filling, bring the piece with you. If possible, store the tooth in milk or a saline solution to improve the chances of reattachment.
- X-rays (If Available): Bring along recent X-rays if you have them on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a toothache count as a dental emergency?
While a toothache should never be ignored, it’s not always considered a dental emergency. Typically, a toothache signals an underlying issue that needs attention. However, if you experience sudden and severe tooth pain, it could indicate a more serious condition. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to call our office so we can help determine the best course of action for you.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
If your tooth gets knocked out, it’s important to take the following steps:
- Pick up the tooth by the crown (the part that is usually exposed in the mouth) to minimize damage to the roots.
- If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it with water. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments.
- If possible, try to place the tooth back in its socket. Never force it into the socket. If it’s not possible to reinsert it, keep it moist by placing it in a small container with milk or a tooth-preservation product.
- Contact Pecan Park Dental immediately. Getting to our office within an hour can increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Remember, time is of the essence in a situation where a tooth has been knocked out. Please get in touch with us immediately for further guidance and immediate treatment.
