Emergency Dentistry in Houston Heights

Fast, Compassionate Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them - a cracked tooth during dinner, sudden pain out of nowhere, or a filling that just won’t stay put. When something feels off, you don’t have to wait or worry. The team at Elevate Dentistry is here to help with same-day care focused on relieving pain, protecting your teeth, and getting your smile back on track.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that causes pain, bleeding, or visible damage to your teeth or gums. Common emergencies include:

• Severe or persistent tooth pain
• A knocked-out or loose tooth
• Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
• Swelling or infection in the gums or jaw
• Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
• Cuts or injuries to the lips, tongue, or cheeks

If you’re not sure whether what you’re experiencing is an emergency, give us a call. We’ll talk through your symptoms and help you decide the best next step.

What to Do Before You Get Here

Quick action can make a big difference in saving a tooth or easing pain. Here are a few tips while you make your way to our office:

• Knocked-out tooth: Pick it up by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse gently and place it in a cup of milk or saliva. Call us right away - getting care within the hour gives the best chance to save it.
• Severe toothache: Rinse with warm water and floss carefully to make sure nothing is stuck between your teeth. Avoid placing painkillers directly on your gums.
• Broken tooth or restoration: Rinse your mouth gently and keep any broken pieces if possible. Try not to chew on that side until you’re seen.
