Q: What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any oral health problem requiring prompt professional attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or prevent a life-threatening infection. Common emergencies treated at Frisco Dental Hub include: severe or throbbing toothache, dental abscess (swelling, fever, severe pain), knocked-out or avulsed tooth, cracked or broken tooth with pain, lost crown or filling causing pain, soft tissue injuries and mouth bleeding, loose tooth in adults, and facial swelling or swollen jaw. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call (972) 276-4888 — Dr. C's team will advise you immediately.

Q: My tooth was knocked out — what do I do right now?

Act immediately — time is critical. A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved if reimplanted within 30–60 minutes. Do this: (1) Pick up the tooth by the crown (white part) — never touch the root. (2) If dirty, gently rinse with water for 10 seconds — do not scrub. (3) Try to gently reinsert the tooth into the socket and hold it in place by biting on a clean cloth. (4) If you cannot reinsert it, place the tooth in milk, saline solution, or between your cheek and gum to keep it moist. (5) Call (972) 276-4888 immediately and come directly to our Frisco TX office. Every minute matters.

Q: Does Frisco Dental Hub treat dental emergencies near Plano and McKinney TX?

Yes — Frisco Dental Hub at 4500 Hillcrest Rd Suite 190, Frisco TX 75035 provides same-day emergency dental care for patients from Plano TX, McKinney TX, Prosper TX, Celina TX, Little Elm TX, The Colony TX, Melissa TX, Anna TX, and Aubrey TX. Call (972) 276-4888 immediately for emergency appointments.

Does Frisco Dental Hub offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

Yes. Frisco Dental Hub holds emergency dental slots every open day — Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays by appointment. When you call (972) 276-4888, Dr. C's team prioritizes your call and works to get you seen the same day. Do not wait — dental emergencies worsen quickly without treatment.

What should I do for a severe toothache while waiting to see Dr. C?

For a severe toothache while waiting for your appointment: (1) Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water. (2) Take OTC ibuprofen and acetaminophen together if medically appropriate — this combination provides better pain relief than either alone. (3) Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face — 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. (4) Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum. (5) Do NOT apply heat if there is any swelling. Call (972) 276-4888 for a same-day appointment at Frisco Dental Hub.

What if I have a dental emergency on a weekend?

Frisco Dental Hub is open Saturdays by appointment — including emergency appointments. Call (972) 276-4888 to reach our team. For Sunday emergencies or if you cannot reach us, go to your nearest hospital emergency room or urgent care for pain management and antibiotics — then follow up with Dr. C at Frisco Dental Hub as soon as we are open.

My crown or filling fell out — is that a dental emergency?

A lost crown or filling should be treated promptly. The exposed tooth structure is vulnerable to pain, sensitivity, fracture, and decay. If your crown falls out: keep it safe, apply a small amount of over-the-counter dental cement to temporarily protect the tooth, and call (972) 276-4888 for a same-day or next-available appointment. If the exposed tooth is causing significant pain, treat it as an emergency.

🚨 Dental Emergencies We Treat

Is This a Dental Emergency? If It Hurts — It Probably Is

Do not wait to see if the pain goes away. Most dental emergencies worsen rapidly without treatment — infection spreads, teeth cannot be saved, and simple problems become complex ones. Call Dr. C at (972) 276-4888 if you experience any of the following.

🦷

Severe Toothache

Throbbing, constant, or unbearable tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you from sleep, spreads to the jaw or ear, or is accompanied by swelling — is a dental emergency. It usually indicates pulp infection or abscess. Do not wait for it to "calm down." Call now.

🚨 Call same-day — infection spreads rapidly

🦠

Dental Abscess

Facial swelling, fever, severe throbbing pain, swollen lymph nodes, bad taste in mouth — these are signs of a dental abscess, a bacterial infection that can become life-threatening if it spreads to the jaw or airway. This is a true dental emergency. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to the ER immediately. Otherwise, call Dr. C.

🚨 Life-threatening if untreated — call NOW

💥

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved — but only if reimplanted within 30–60 minutes. Every minute counts. See the first-aid instructions below immediately. Then call Dr. C at (972) 276-4888 and come directly to our Frisco TX office. Do not wrap the tooth in tissue or let it dry out.

⏱️ 30–60 min window — act immediately

😬

Cracked or Broken Tooth

A broken or cracked tooth — especially one causing sharp pain when biting, sensitivity to temperature, or visible fracture — needs same-day evaluation. A crack that reaches the pulp requires root canal therapy; one that extends to the root may require extraction. Early treatment saves the tooth.

Same-day evaluation recommended

👑

Lost Crown or Filling

When a crown falls off or a filling is lost, the underlying tooth structure is exposed and vulnerable to pain, sensitivity, further decay, and fracture. If the exposed tooth is causing significant pain, treat as a same-day emergency. Apply temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) for short-term protection.

Call for same-day or next available slot

🩸

Soft Tissue Injury & Bleeding

Lacerations to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums that do not stop bleeding with firm pressure within 15–20 minutes need professional attention. For significant bleeding that does not stop, go to the nearest emergency room. For oral lacerations that have stopped or are manageable, call Dr. C.

Persistent bleeding — call immediately

😷

Swollen Jaw or Face

Facial swelling or a swollen jaw — even without visible dental pain — is a serious sign of spreading infection. Do NOT apply heat to swelling. Call Dr. C immediately. If swelling is rapidly worsening, affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, or is accompanied by high fever — go directly to the emergency room.

🚨 Spreading swelling — ER if breathing affected

🤲

Loose Adult Tooth

A loose permanent tooth in an adult is always an emergency — adult teeth should not be loose. Possible causes include severe gum disease, trauma, or bone loss. Do not attempt to wiggle or remove it. Keep the tooth in position, avoid chewing on that side, and call Dr. C for same-day evaluation and stabilization.

Same-day evaluation — stabilization possible

🦴

Wisdom Tooth Pain / Pericoronitis

Pain, swelling, and infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) can escalate rapidly. Symptoms include pain, swelling of the gum flap, difficulty opening the mouth, and a bad taste. Salt water rinses provide temporary relief — call Dr. C for evaluation and treatment.

Call same-day for evaluation and relief

Orthodontic & Cosmetic Dental Emergencies

Sharp aligner, broken bracket, chipped veneer — these all qualify as dental emergencies. Dr. C treats the full spectrum.

😬

Invisalign Pain & Aligner Emergencies

Sharp aligner edge cutting your gum? Lost or cracked aligner tray? Severe pain from a new tray? A lost aligner left untreated can cause teeth to shift in as little as 24–48 hours. Dr. C can trim sharp edges, provide a replacement tray plan, and relieve discomfort same-day.

🚨 Call if: sharp edge cutting gum · aligner cracked · pain >24 hours

🔧

Broken Braces & Wire Emergencies

A broken bracket or poking wire injures your cheek, gum, or tongue. Dr. C provides emergency relief — trimming a poking wire, temporarily re-cementing a bracket, and treating soft tissue injuries. Don't wait through a weekend of pain or risk swallowing a bracket.

🚨 Call if: wire poking gum · loose bracket · soft tissue injury bleeding

✨

Chipped Veneers & Cosmetic Emergencies

A chipped or debonded porcelain veneer exposes the underlying tooth, causing sensitivity and pain. Dr. C can temporarily re-bond a veneer or stabilize the tooth same-day, preventing further damage while a permanent restoration is planned. Dental bonding emergencies treated same-day too.

🚨 Call if: veneer fallen off · significant chip · tooth sensitivity or pain

Also treated same-day: dental implant pain or movement · temporary crown issues · wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) pain flare-ups · post-extraction dry socket · broken partial denture · mouth guard damage · sports mouth guard emergency.

❓ Not sure if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency? Call (972) 276-4888 — Dr. C's team will advise you immediately at no charge. We would rather you call and hear it's not urgent than not call when it is.

⏱️ Time-Critical First Aid

Knocked-Out Tooth? Act in the Next 60 Minutes

Over 5 million teeth are knocked out every year in the US (Cleveland Clinic). A knocked-out adult tooth can be saved — but only if you act immediately and correctly. Here's exactly what to do in the next 60 seconds.

Knocked-Out Tooth — What To Do Right Now

Why Every Minute Matters — The Science Behind the Window

When a tooth is knocked out, the periodontal ligament cells attached to the tooth root begin to die within minutes of exposure to air and drying. These cells are critical to successful reimplantation — they anchor the tooth back into the bone and allow the socket to accept the returned tooth.

The 30–60 minute window is when reimplantation has the highest probability of long-term success. Beyond 60 minutes, viability of the periodontal ligament cells drops significantly. Beyond 2 hours dry, the tooth is unlikely to be saved.

✅ Best storage options (ranked)

1. Back in the socket (reinsertion) — best by far, immediate reimplantation preserves cells best
2. Milk — keeps cells alive well, widely available
3. Saline solution (contact lens solution or sterile saline)
4. Inside the cheek between gum and cheek (own saliva)
5. Emergency tooth preservation kit (Hank's Balanced Salt Solution)

❌ Never store a knocked-out tooth in:

Plain tap water (hypotonic — kills cells quickly) · Paper towel or tissue (dries out immediately) · Ice (too cold, destroys cells) · Plastic bag dry (no moisture — cell death within minutes)

📊 Clinical data (Cleveland Clinic): More than 5 million teeth are knocked out every year in the United States. The majority involve upper incisors — the front teeth most visible and important for function and aesthetics. Sports activities account for an estimated 3–5 million avulsed teeth annually. Immediate professional reimplantation by a dentist provides the highest probability of long-term retention.

First Aid Guide

What to Do — and What Never to Do — While Waiting for Dr. C

The right first aid actions in the first few minutes can make a significant difference to the outcome. The wrong ones can make things significantly worse. Here's a clear guide.

✅

DO These Things

Helpful actions while waiting for your appointment

✅Call Dr. C at (972) 276-4888 immediately — describe your symptoms clearly so the team can prioritize appropriately

✅Rinse gently with warm salt water — 1/2 teaspoon salt in 8oz warm water. Soothes and cleans the area without irritating it

✅Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your face — 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Reduces swelling and numbs discomfort

✅Take OTC ibuprofen AND acetaminophen together if medically appropriate — this combination provides better pain relief than either alone. Follow package dosing.

✅For a knocked-out tooth — store in milk, reinsert immediately, or keep between cheek and gum. Come directly to our office.

✅For a lost crown — apply over-the-counter temporary dental cement (Dentemp or similar, available at pharmacies) to protect the tooth temporarily

✅For oral bleeding — apply gentle firm pressure with clean gauze or cloth for 15–20 minutes without lifting to check

✅Bring any tooth fragments, lost fillings, or displaced crowns to your appointment — they may be usable for treatment

❌

NEVER Do These Things

Common mistakes that make dental emergencies worse

❌Apply heat to a swollen area or abscess — heat encourages bacterial growth and can cause infection to spread faster. Always use cold, not heat.

❌Place aspirin directly on a tooth or gum — aspirin is acidic and will chemically burn the soft tissue. It does not provide effective topical pain relief.

❌Wait and see if the pain goes away — dental infections do not resolve without treatment. They spread, worsen, and what could be a same-day fix becomes a multi-visit crisis.

❌Touch the root of a knocked-out tooth — the root surface contains periodontal ligament cells critical for reimplantation. Contamination or mechanical damage kills these cells.

❌Store a knocked-out tooth in tap water — tap water is hypotonic and rapidly destroys the periodontal ligament cells needed for successful reimplantation.

❌Try to self-extract a tooth — this can fracture the root, damage surrounding teeth and bone, and cause serious injury. Never attempt to pull your own tooth.

❌Use dental floss to try to remove a stuck object — you risk cutting the gum, pushing the object deeper, or causing additional injury. Call Dr. C instead.

❌Ignore facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing — these signs mean infection may be spreading. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate professional care, potentially at an ER.

"I had an excellent experience with Dr. C and their team! I went for an extraction, a filling, and a cleaning — and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism. Dr. C made sure I was comfortable and well-informed at every step. The extraction was surprisingly quick and virtually painless.

"Dr. C had to do an extraction and implant on one of my back teeth that had previously had a root canal. He thoroughly explained what was going on, what my different options were and the benefits of each option, and how much each option cost. Dr. C and his team did a great job on the implant and I have had no problems with it — a huge relief after years of having problems with that tooth. I was pretty reluctant because I knew my insurance wasn't going to cover much, but Dr. C made it affordable and allowed me to make monthly payments for the remainder of my balance. I am very grateful to him and his team for such great care."

In pain and need immediate help? Call (972) 276-4888 — don't wait for an answer here.

What counts as a dental emergency?▼

A dental emergency is any oral condition causing severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, risk of tooth loss, or spreading infection that requires same-day professional treatment. Common dental emergencies include:
• Severe or throbbing toothache — especially with swelling or fever
• Dental abscess — swelling, fever, bad taste, severe pain
• Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth — 30–60 minute window to save it
• Broken or cracked tooth with pain or exposed nerve
• Lost crown or filling causing significant pain
• Soft tissue injury with persistent bleeding
• Swollen jaw or face — possible spreading infection
• Loose adult tooth

If unsure, call (972) 276-4888 — Dr. C's team advises immediately at no charge.

4. Call (972) 276-4888 and come directly to our Frisco TX office

Success rate is approximately 85% within 30 minutes — drops dramatically after 60 minutes dry. Baby teeth (primary teeth) should NOT be reinserted — call Dr. C for guidance.

📖 Emergency Dental Glossary

Avulsed tooth: A tooth that has been completely knocked out of its socket by trauma. An avulsed adult tooth can often be reimplanted if treated within 30–60 minutes. Also called a knocked-out tooth.

Dental abscess: A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection of the tooth pulp or surrounding gum tissue. Symptoms include throbbing pain, swelling, fever, and a bad taste. Can become life-threatening if untreated.

Pericoronitis: Infection and inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth — most commonly a wisdom tooth. Causes pain, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, and bad breath.

Pulpitis: Inflammation of the dental pulp (the soft inner tissue of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). Causes severe, often throbbing toothache. Treated with root canal therapy.

Periodontal ligament: The connective tissue fibers that anchor the tooth root to the jawbone. Keeping these cells alive (in milk, saline, or saliva) is the key to successful reimplantation of a knocked-out tooth.

Emergency root canal: Root canal therapy performed urgently to relieve severe pain from pulp infection or abscess. Removes infected tissue, eliminates the source of pain, and saves the tooth — often in a single visit.

Dental splint: A device bonded to adjacent teeth to stabilize a reimplanted or loose tooth while healing occurs. Used after knocked-out tooth reimplantation.
