Emergency Dental Care in Prosper, TX

Emergency dentistry involves urgent treatment for oral health issues that require immediate attention, usually due to pain, trauma, or infection. These issues can’t wait for days or weeks for a routine appointment. At Firm Foundation Dental, we’re here to get you out of pain fast, preserve your natural teeth, and prevent further complications.

Common dental emergencies we treat include:

• Severe or persistent toothaches
• Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
• Dental infections, abscesses, and facial swelling
• Lost or damaged crowns and fillings
• Gum, lip, or jaw injuries caused by trauma

Our same-day emergency appointments are designed to address urgent needs quickly while still delivering the warmth and attentiveness that set our practice apart.

Not every dental issue is an emergency, but there are clear signs that immediate care is necessary. You should call us right away if:

• You’re experiencing intense, throbbing tooth pain
• You have swelling in the face, gums, or jaw
• You’ve sustained dental trauma (such as a knocked-out or broken tooth)
• A restoration like a crown or filling has come loose, exposing sensitive areas
• You have signs of infection, including fever, pus, or a foul taste in your mouth
• Your gums are bleeding heavily or you’ve injured your soft tissue

When in doubt, don’t wait. Our team is happy to help you determine whether your symptoms require same-day attention. The earlier you seek care, the better your chances of avoiding complications and saving your tooth.

Dental emergencies can be scary, but taking quick action can protect your health and help you avoid further damage. Follow these steps:

• Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area
• Save any tooth fragments or a knocked-out tooth, place it in milk or saliva to keep it moist
• Apply a cold compress to your cheek or jaw to reduce swelling
• Take over-the-counter pain relievers, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums
• Call Firm Foundation Dental immediately so we can prepare for your arrival

We’ll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible, often the very same day.

We know that emergency visits can come with added anxiety and discomfort. That’s why we prioritize a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere and clear, honest communication.

Here’s what a same-day emergency dental appointment may include:

• Quick check-in and evaluation of your symptoms
• Digital or panoramic X-rays for fast, precise diagnostics
• Immediate pain relief and stabilization of your condition
• Same-day treatment, if possible, or a temporary solution with a scheduled follow-up
• Step-by-step explanations of your condition, options, and costs

Whether it’s your first visit with us or you’re a long-time patient, you’ll receive thoughtful, personalized care rooted in faith and delivered with excellence.

Emergency dental costs vary based on your diagnosis and treatment. Factors that may affect your total include:

• Type of procedure (e.g., filling, extraction, root canal)
• Use of diagnostic tools like X-rays or scans
• Medications or anesthesia required
• Extent of the damage or infection

At Firm Foundation Dental, we believe in transparent pricing with no surprise bills. Our team will provide a clear estimate before beginning any treatment and will help you understand how your dental insurance applies. For patients without insurance, we offer flexible payment options to ensure you get the care you need without added financial stress.
