Late-Hour Appointments
We understand the need for flexibility, which is why we offer appointments beyond regular business hours. If you require treatment after 5 PM, let us know, and we’ll arrange a late-hour appointment.
Weekend Appointments
Emergencies don’t adhere to a weekday schedule. Therefore, we offer weekend appointments to ensure you receive the necessary care when you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Unless your mouth pain is trauma related, then probably not. Most ERs and urgent cares do not have a dentist on staff, or on call. Therefore the most they will be able to do is prescribe antibiotics. If you have been suffering from a toothache with swelling for a long period of time, these antibiotics could be essential. However in most cases, you will be charged for the visit, and referred to a dentist.
Call us immediately to schedule a same-day appointment. Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth are susceptible to infection and require prompt repair. During your visit, the dentist will clean and disinfect the area, and repair the tooth, which may involve a root canal or crown, depending on the severity.
Retrieve the tooth by holding it by the crown (top part) to avoid damaging the root. Place it in a container of cold milk to keep it moist. Contact Dental Emergency Care Of Irving immediately and bring the tooth with you. Knocked-out teeth must be replaced within 1-2 hours, so prompt action is crucial.
The cost of emergency dental care varies depending on the treatment required. For instance, repairing a broken tooth with a dental crown generally costs less than a root canal and crown. Addressing dental emergencies promptly can prevent the need for more extensive and expensive treatments. At Dental Emergency Care Of Irving, we offer same-day care and flexible payment plans to ensure you receive necessary treatment without financial stress. For assistance, call us at (972) 455-8147. Immediate care from Dental Emergency Care Of Irving can alleviate pain, prevent complications, and save you money in the long run.
