What is emergency dentistry?
With emergency dentistry, you can receive immediate care in case you suffer from severe oral pain, a toothache, or a dental injury. A patient’s main goal during emergency treatment is to relieve their pain and restore their oral health. To make sure you get the care you need, when you need it, your Magnolia dentist offers same-day and after-hours emergency appointments.

What to do in a dental emergency
Stay Calm
In the event of dental trauma, staying calm is the best course of action. In spite of the pain and stress of an injury, you can take comfort in knowing that nearly any dental issue can be addressed, treated, and resolved by a dentist. In order to restore your healthy, pain-free smile, our team is here to help.
Reduce Bleeding
Once you’ve gained control of the situation, take assessment of your injury. If you’re experiencing any bleeding, place a strip of gauze on the site of the injury and apply pressure with your by biting down on the gauze. This should slow the blood flow within an hour.
Control Swelling & Pain
If there is bleeding, put a strip of gauze on the site of the injury and apply pressure with your teeth by biting down on the gauze. This should slow the blood flow within an hour.
Call Us
It is possible to temporarily reduce pain and swelling with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Nevertheless, avoid blood thinners like aspirin, as they prevent clotting, making it harder to stop the blood flow. For a short period of time, you can also apply an ice pack or cold compress to the cheek near the affected area to reduce inflammation and pain.
The importance of prompt emergency care

During your visit, Dr. Mike Tran will perform an examination to assess your dental injury and create a plan to get your smile back in shape that very same day.

Our practice provides after-hours care for patients who experience dental emergencies outside of regular business hours, so they get the immediate care they need. Call our office to schedule an appointment if you experience a dental emergency outside of our normal business hours. Our goal is to alleviate your pain and restore the functionality of your smile as soon as possible.
Common Emergency Procedures
When you arrive at our Magnolia office, Dr. Mike Tran will assess the situation and provide you with their recommended treatment options. A toothache can have several causes, and if an underlying infection is causing your oral pain, root canal therapy may be the best option for you. Additionally, tooth splinting is another common restorative procedure and can be used to stabilize a loose or knocked-out tooth and allow for proper healing.
