What to Do Right Now
Call our office at (817) 732-3357 as soon as possible so we can advise you and arrange to see you quickly. Describing your symptoms helps us prepare for your arrival and prioritize your care.
If you have a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist — place it in milk or hold it gently between your cheek and gum — and get to us as fast as possible. Time matters significantly for reimplantation.
If you have severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or significant facial trauma, please seek emergency medical care (911 or ER) first.
After-Hours Guidance
If you're experiencing a dental emergency outside our office hours, call our number and listen for instructions. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a cold compress can provide temporary relief while you wait for your appointment.
Conveniently Located on Camp Bowie
Our office at 3616 Tulsa Way is easy to reach from across Fort Worth. We do our best to see emergency patients the same day — call first and we'll get you in as quickly as we can.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling in the mouth or face, and uncontrolled bleeding all count as dental emergencies. If you're unsure, call us at (817) 732-3357 and we'll help you decide.
Can I be seen the same day?
We reserve time in our daily schedule for urgent cases and do our best to see emergency patients the same day whenever possible.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, gently rinse it, and if possible place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then contact us right away — acting within the first hour gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Do you treat dental emergencies for new patients?
Yes. You don't need to be an existing patient — we welcome new patients experiencing dental emergencies in the Camp Bowie and greater Fort Worth area.
