First-aid steps for a dental emergency before reaching a San Antonio dentist

What to Do Right Now

Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown (never the root), keep it in milk or inside your cheek, and call — teeth saved within an hour do best.
Severe toothache: rinse with warm salt water, use over-the-counter pain relief, and avoid heat on your face.
Broken tooth: save any pieces, rinse gently, and cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum.
Swelling or abscess: a cold compress helps; if swelling spreads toward your eye or throat, go to the ER first, then call us.

Deciding between the ER and an emergency dentist in San Antonio TX

ER or Dentist?

Go to the ER for uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma with possible fractures, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing. For everything dental — pain, broken teeth, abscesses, lost restorations — an emergency dentist in San Antonio treats the actual problem; the ER can usually only prescribe and refer.

Are you really open 24 hours?

Our phone line is answered 24/7, every day — call anytime and we'll book you the first available same-day appointment. Treatment happens in-office during clinic hours, with emergency slots held daily.

What if my emergency happens at 2am?

Call (726) 215-9920 — you'll get immediate first-aid guidance for your situation and the first slot when we open, usually within hours.

How much does an emergency visit cost?

The emergency exam and X-ray fee is quoted upfront when you call; any treatment cost is approved by you before we start. Financing options are available.

Should I go to the ER instead?

Only for uncontrolled bleeding, facial fractures, or swelling that affects breathing or swallowing. For tooth pain, breaks, and infections, a dentist can actually fix the problem — the ER generally can't.
