We understand that not all dental issues can wait, which is why our emergency line is always open. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, call us—we’ll guide you with expert advice and help you get seen as quickly as possible.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies are urgent oral health issues that require immediate professional attention to prevent pain, infection, or permanent damage. If left untreated, these problems can quickly worsen, making it more difficult—and more expensive—to treat later on. Our Houston emergency dentists can address a wide range of urgent conditions, including:
-
Knocked-out or loose teeth
-
Severe or persistent toothache
-
Chipped or broken teeth
-
Swollen gums or jaw
-
Bleeding that won’t stop
-
Lost or broken dental fillings or crowns
-
Dental abscess or signs of infection
-
Jaw injuries or trauma
Don’t wait—if you’re experiencing any of these issues, call Antoine Dental Center at 713-766-6915 for immediate assistance.
What to Do When a Tooth Gets Knocked Out
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, time is critical. The sooner you receive care, the higher the chances we can save the tooth. Gently rinse the tooth with water (do not scrub), and if possible, place it back in the socket. If that’s not an option, submerge the tooth in cold milk or saliva and head to our dental office immediately.
Avoid touching the root of the tooth, and never attempt to force it back into place. Our team will evaluate your situation and determine the best way to restore your smile—whether through re-implantation or long-term solutions like dental implants.
When in Doubt, Call Us First
Sometimes, symptoms of dental emergencies can be subtle. Cracks may not be visible, but could lead to extreme sensitivity, pain when chewing, or signs of infection. If you’re unsure whether you need urgent care, err on the side of caution—we’re here to help you decide.
Watch for signs like:
-
Sensitivity to heat, cold, or air
-
Pain that gets worse or doesn’t go away
-
Gum swelling or bleeding
-
Trouble opening your mouth or chewing
Even if it’s not a true emergency, we can often provide same-day treatment to get you on track before the issue worsens.
Lost or Broken Dental Fillings
If a filling falls out or chips, it can leave the tooth vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, or further damage. This may happen due to wear and tear, grinding, or bacterial buildup beneath the restoration. When this occurs, call us right away so we can restore and protect the affected tooth.
Depending on the severity, we may be able to replace the filling with a new one, or we may recommend additional treatment such as a crown or root canal. Our team uses digital X-rays and thorough diagnostics to identify the best course of action and relieve your discomfort.
Fast, Targeted Emergency Treatments
At Antoine Dental Center, we pride ourselves on accurate diagnosis and prompt, customized treatment. After a thorough exam and digital imaging, we’ll discuss your options clearly and begin treatment as needed. Some of our emergency treatments include:
-
Root Canal Therapy to remove infection and save the tooth
-
Dental Crowns to repair broken or decayed teeth
-
Extractions when a tooth cannot be saved
-
Temporary or permanent restorations for chipped or cracked teeth
-
Dental Implants, Bridges, or Dentures to replace missing teeth
Our goal is to relieve your pain quickly, restore your oral health, and provide you with lasting solutions that protect your smile long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need emergency dental care?
A dental emergency can happen unexpectedly at any time of the day or night. If you’re dealing with one or more of these symptoms, you require emergency dental care:
- Bleeding or lacerated gums due to trauma sustained to the mouth
- Teeth that have been knocked out or noticeably loosened
- Teeth that are severely cracked or fully broken
- Trouble closing your mouth or bringing your upper and lower jaws together causes you pain. Mouth injury can affect your jaw, gums, and teeth.
- Sustain any trauma to the mouth from accidents, collisions, or playing sports.
If you aren’t sure whether your problem qualifies as a dental emergency, find a place that provides emergency dental care or visit emergency care to seek treatment immediately.
What if I lose part or all of my tooth and can’t recover it?
If you’ve lost all or part of your tooth and can’t find it (this often happens when you lose a tooth while chewing), don’t panic! Visit your dentist for emergency dental care, and they’ll administer treatment for any pain you may be experiencing. Your dentist can go over options to replace permanently lost teeth.
Missing teeth can push your remaining teeth out of alignment, cause your jaw to weaken, and lead to disorders like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), which is caused by uneven chewing. A missing tooth can also impact your speaking and chewing abilities.
What can I do to minimize the possibility of sports-related injuries?
You should invest in a mouthguard if you play a sport with a high likelihood of collisions. Mouth guards help prevent cracked or broken teeth. While you can buy them at most sporting goods stores, we recommend visiting your dentist for a consultation and a mouth guard customized for your teeth, including special mouth guards for those who wear braces.
What are other sources of dental pain?
Not all tooth pain comes from a tooth being fractured, broken, or knocked out. One potential source of pain is a dry socket, which qualifies for emergency treatment. A dry socket is an inflammation of a tooth socket and can happen after a tooth extraction if the healing process is disrupted. Dry sockets can cause both sharp and dull pain and require professional treatment to heal.
An abscessed tooth is another possible source of oral pain — it stems from a bacterial infection inside the tooth itself. There are both tooth abscesses and gum abscesses. If you suspect having an abscess, it’s best to quickly seek dental treatment since untreated abscesses can lead to a severe infection.
What are the symptoms of an abscess?
In addition to pain, which can range from a low level to a very high level, abscesses may cause any of the following symptoms:
- Swelling and redness in the gums
- Toothache
- Extreme dental sensitivity to temperature
- Swollen lymph nodes in your jaw and neck area
- Bad taste in your mouth
If you’re in severe, significant pain, you should visit your dentist for emergency dental care.
