Frequently Asked Questions
What if a tooth is knocked out?
Time matters. For a permanent tooth, keep it moist, in milk or the child’s own saliva, and try to see us within 30 minutes. For a baby tooth, don’t attempt to reinsert it. Call us and we’ll guide you from there. Either way, call (214) 416-8700 on your way in so we can have same-day priority ready for you.
Should I go to the ER or call you first?
Call us first for anything involving the teeth themselves: a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, or a bad toothache. Go straight to the emergency room only if there’s a jaw fracture, uncontrolled bleeding, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
Is it an emergency if there is no pain?
It can be. Swelling, a loose tooth after a fall, or a tooth that’s changed color after an injury can all signal a problem even without pain, especially in kids who don’t always describe pain clearly. If you’re unsure, call us. A quick same-day look is always better than waiting to see if it gets worse.

My child chipped a tooth. What should I do?
Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water and check for any sharp edges that could cut the tongue or cheek. If you can find the broken piece, bring it with you in a container of milk or water. A cold compress on the outside of the cheek helps with any swelling. Call us the same day. Even a small chip should be checked since a crack can extend further into the tooth than it looks. This is our most common child chipped tooth question, and the short answer is always the same: rinse, save the piece if you have it, and call.
Do you see emergency patients the same day?
Yes. As your same-day kids dentist near Dallas, we give emergency and urgent-pain cases same-day priority whenever you call ahead. We keep slots open specifically for this, so please call rather than walking in. It lets us have the right room and materials ready before you arrive.
