Dental Emergencies
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Same-Day Dental Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can happen without warning—whether it’s a broken tooth, sudden pain, or a knocked-out tooth. At Restoration Dental, we provide prompt, compassionate care for patients experiencing urgent dental needs in San Antonio. Dr. Kye Mallernee and our experienced team are equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies and offer same-day appointments whenever possible.

We understand how stressful a dental emergency can be. That’s why our goal is to relieve your pain quickly, assess the problem thoroughly, and deliver lasting treatment. We serve patients from Helotes, Leon Valley, Braun Station, and surrounding areas who are searching for fast, reliable emergency dental care near them.

If your situation involves trauma, swelling, or severe discomfort, don’t wait—timing is critical for preserving your oral health and avoiding further complications.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Not all dental problems require immediate attention, but some conditions demand prompt care to prevent further damage or infection. We encourage you to contact us right away if you’re experiencing:

  • Severe tooth pain or persistent sensitivity

  • Chipped, broken, or fractured teeth

  • Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth

  • Lost or loose dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings

  • Swelling in the face, gums, or jaw

  • Signs of infection, such as pus, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth

  • Injury to soft tissues like the gums, cheeks, or tongue

Our team will evaluate the urgency of your situation and prioritize your care accordingly. In many cases, we can treat the problem in a single visit. For more complex needs, we’ll stabilize the issue and develop a treatment plan that may include root canal therapy or extractions.

How We Handle Dental Emergencies

How We Handle Dental Emergencies

When you call Restoration Dental with an emergency, we do our best to see you the same day. Our approach focuses on:

  • Immediate pain relief through appropriate medications or procedures

  • Accurate diagnosis using digital X-rays and a thorough exam

  • Short-term stabilization, such as temporary crowns, fillings, or drainage

  • Long-term treatment planning to restore and protect the affected area

Dr. Mallernee’s experience in sedation dentistry allows anxious or uncomfortable patients to receive emergency care in a calm, stress-free environment.

For knocked-out teeth, it’s crucial to seek treatment within 30 to 60 minutes. Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing it, place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it in milk until you arrive.

Our office is equipped to handle urgent needs for both new and existing patients, helping you return to health and peace of mind as quickly as possible.

FAQs About Emergency Dental Care

  1. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?: Retrieve the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and place it back in the socket or in a container of milk. Contact our office immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.

  2. Can I walk in for a dental emergency, or do I need an appointment?: We recommend calling ahead so we can prepare for your visit, but we do our best to accommodate same-day emergency cases whenever possible.

  3. What pain relief options are available for dental emergencies?: We offer local anesthesia and, if needed, sedation options to make emergency treatment more comfortable.

  4. Are emergency dental visits covered by insurance?: Many dental insurance plans cover urgent care, especially when infection or trauma is involved. Our team can help verify your benefits before treatment.

  5. Where can I find emergency dental care near me in San Antonio?: Restoration Dental, located at 9820 Braun Rd, Suite #102, offers emergency dental services to patients in San Antonio, including Helotes, Leon Valley, and Alamo Ranch.
