A tooth cracks on a piece of ice, a filling falls out at dinner, or a dull ache turns into throbbing pain overnight. When that happens, you need two things: someone to get you out of pain, and a clear plan to fix the problem so it doesn't come back.<\/p><p>That's what our emergency visits are built for. Dr. Boris Malespin and the Complete Dental team see urgent cases as quickly as we can, often on the same day you call.

New patients are welcome, with or without insurance.<\/p><h2 id=\"dental-emergencies-we-treat\">Dental Emergencies We Treat<\/h2><p>If you're not sure whether your problem counts as an emergency, call us and describe what's happening. These are the most common reasons patients come in urgently:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Severe toothache.<\/strong> Constant or throbbing pain, pain that wakes you up, or sharp pain when you bite or drink something hot or cold. This often points to deep decay or an infected nerve, which may need a <a href=\"https:\/\/completedental.org\/dental-services\/root-canal-in-houston-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">root canal<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth.<\/strong> Even a small chip can expose the inner tooth to bacteria. Larger breaks are often repaired with a <a href=\"https:\/\/completedental.org\/dental-services\/dental-crowns-in-houston-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">dental crown<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Knocked-out tooth.<\/strong> Time matters most here. A tooth that's put back quickly has the best chance of being saved.<\/li><li><strong>Dental abscess or swelling.<\/strong> A pimple-like bump on the gums, swelling in your face or jaw, or a bad taste in your mouth can mean an infection that needs treatment soon.<\/li><li><strong>Lost filling or crown.<\/strong> The tooth underneath is now unprotected and can become sensitive or break.<\/li><li><strong>Wisdom tooth pain.<\/strong> Swollen, painful gums in the back of the mouth are often caused by an impacted or infected <a href=\"https:\/\/completedental.org\/dental-services\/wisdom-teeth-extraction-in-houston-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">wisdom tooth<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Broken dentures or damaged dental work.<\/strong> We can repair or replace dentures, bridges, and other restorations so you can eat and speak normally again.<\/li><li><strong>Bleeding or injury to the gums, lips, or tongue.<\/strong> Especially after a fall, sports injury, or accident.<\/li><\/ul><h2 id=\"what-to-do-before-you-get-here\">What to Do Before You Get Here<\/h2><p>Call us first so we can get ready for you. While you're on your way, these steps can reduce pain and protect the tooth.<\/p><p><strong>Knocked-out tooth:<\/strong> Pick it up by the top (the chewing surface), not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it gently with water, but don't scrub it. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite down gently on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in a small container of milk or tucked inside your cheek. Don't let it dry out, and try to reach us within 30 minutes.<\/p><p><strong>Toothache:<\/strong> Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss around the tooth to remove any trapped food. An over-the-counter pain reliever can help when taken as directed on the label. Don't put aspirin directly on the tooth or gums, since it can burn the tissue.<\/p><p><strong>Broken or chipped tooth:<\/strong> Save any pieces you can find. Rinse your mouth with warm water and hold a cold compress against your cheek to limit swelling.<\/p><p><strong>Swelling or abscess:<\/strong> Rinse with warm salt water and use a cold compress on the outside of your face. Don't try to pop or drain a gum bump yourself.<\/p><p><strong>Lost filling or crown:<\/strong> Keep the crown if you have it and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side until we can see you.<\/p><p><strong>Bleeding:<\/strong> Press a clean, damp gauze pad or cloth firmly on the area for 10 minutes. If bleeding is heavy or won't stop, go to the emergency room.<\/p><h2 id=\"dentist-or-emergency-room\">Dentist or Emergency Room?<\/h2><p>Most tooth problems are best handled by a dentist. Hospital ERs can manage pain and prescribe antibiotics, but they usually can't repair a broken tooth, treat a nerve, or restore damaged dental work. You'll often leave with a referral back to a dentist anyway.<\/p><p>Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have:<\/p><ul><li>Swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow<\/li><li>Swelling that spreads toward your eye, neck, or down your throat<\/li><li>A high fever along with facial swelling<\/li><li>A possible broken jaw or a serious injury to your face or head<\/li><li>Bleeding that won't stop after 10 minutes of firm pressure<\/li><\/ul><p>Once you're stable, call us and we'll take care of the dental problem itself.<\/p><h2 id=\"what-happens-at-your-emergency-visit\">What Happens at Your Emergency Visit<\/h2><ol><li><strong>Call us.<\/strong> Tell our front desk what happened and how much pain you're in. We'll fit you in as soon as possible, often the same day.<\/li><li><strong>Exam and X-rays.<\/strong> Dr. Malespin examines the area and takes <a href=\"https:\/\/completedental.org\/dental-services\/digital-dental-x-rays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">digital X-rays<\/a> to see what's happening below the surface.<\/li><li><strong>Pain relief first.<\/strong> Our first priority is getting you comfortable. Many problems can be stabilized or fully treated during the same visit.<\/li><li><strong>A clear plan and price.<\/strong> If you need more treatment, we explain your options and the cost before we start.

Call (281) 449-1053 as early in the day as you can and tell us it's an emergency. We'll find the soonest available time.<\/p><p><strong>Do I need to be a current patient?<\/strong> No. We see new patients for emergencies, whether or not you have insurance.<\/p><p><strong>How much does an emergency dental visit cost?<\/strong> It depends on what's causing the problem and what treatment you need. The exam and X-rays come first, and we'll give you a clear price for any treatment before we begin. If you have insurance, we'll help you check your coverage.<\/p><p><strong>Is a toothache an emergency?<\/strong> A mild ache that comes and goes can usually wait a day or two for a regular appointment. Severe or constant pain, pain with swelling, or pain that keeps you up at night should be seen right away. Infections don't go away on their own.<\/p><p><strong>Will antibiotics fix my tooth infection?<\/strong> Antibiotics can help control an infection, but they don't remove the cause. The tooth still needs treatment, usually a root canal or extraction, or the infection will likely return.<\/p><p><strong>Can you save a knocked-out or broken tooth?<\/strong> Often, yes, especially if you get to us quickly. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance when it's put back within about 30 minutes and kept moist until then.<\/p><p><strong>Do you treat children's dental emergencies?<\/strong> Yes. We provide <a href=\"https:\/\/completedental.org\/dental-services\/pediatric-dentistry-in-houston-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">pediatric dental care<\/a> and see kids for chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and toothaches.<\/p><h2 id=\"in-pain-right-now-call-us\">In Pain Right Now?
