Is Your Situation a Dental Emergency? We Treat Them All.
If you're experiencing any of the following, call our Round Rock office immediately. Do not wait for your next routine appointment.
- Severe Toothache. Persistent, throbbing tooth pain is one of the most common dental emergencies and often signals infection, deep decay, or a cracked tooth. The longer it's left untreated, the worse it gets. Call us as soon as pain begins.
- Knocked-Out Tooth. A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency — you have the best chance of saving it within 30 to 60 minutes. Handle the tooth by the crown only, keep it moist (in milk or your own saliva), and call Polished Smiles of Round Rock immediately.
- Cracked or Broken Tooth. A cracked or fractured tooth can expose sensitive nerves and become infected quickly. Whether it's a minor chip or a significant break, our team will assess the damage and restore your tooth with the most appropriate treatment.
- Lost or Broken Crown or Filling. A missing crown or filling leaves your tooth exposed and vulnerable to further damage. We can often replace crowns and fillings on the same day so you're not left unprotected.
- Dental Abscess or Swelling. A dental abscess is a bacterial infection that can spread rapidly if left untreated. Signs include a throbbing toothache, facial swelling, fever, and a bad taste in your mouth. This is a serious condition — contact us or go to the ER if swelling is severe.
- Chipped or Fractured Teeth. Even if a chip seems minor and painless, sharp edges can cut your tongue and gums, and the structural integrity of the tooth may be compromised. Let us evaluate it before it becomes a bigger problem.
- Lost or Broken Dentures. If your denture breaks or becomes damaged, it can affect your ability to eat and speak. We can help with repairs or provide a temporary solution while a replacement is made.
- Object Stuck Between Teeth Gently. Try dental floss — never use sharp objects. If an object remains lodged and is causing pain or pressure, call our office rather than risk injuring your gum tissue.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
1. Call Us Immediately
The moment a dental emergency occurs, your first call should be to Polished Smiles of Round Rock. Our team will walk you through next steps and get you scheduled right away.
2. Manage Pain & Bleeding
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help reduce discomfort. Apply a cold compress to your face to minimize swelling. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum tissue.
3. Protect the Tooth
For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. For a broken crown, dental wax or sugar-free gum can temporarily protect the exposed tooth.
4. Come In Right Away
We reserve same-day slots for emergency patients. The sooner you're seen, the better the outcome — for pain relief, tooth preservation, and your overall health.
