Emergency Dentist

At West Lake Hills Dental our goal is to provide you with the best possible dental care,
including emergency services. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, Dr. Ronci and
his team are here to help.

What is an Emergency Dentist?

An emergency dentist provides urgent oral care for those who can’t make same-day
appointments with their regular dentist. Our emergency dentistry services are available
to help you with any dental emergencies you may encounter. Whether it’s severe pain
from tooth decay or an accident that requires root canal therapy, an emergency dentist
will diagnose the issue and provide the necessary treatment to alleviate your discomfort.

What is Considered a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any incident involving your mouth that requires immediate
medical attention. This can include severe pain, bleeding, loose teeth, infections that
cause swelling and pain, and abscesses that can be life-compromising. If you’re
experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to call Dr. Ronci at West Lake Hills
Dental.

When Should You See an Emergency Dentist?

If you have a minor crack or chip, you may not need to visit an emergency dental clinic.
In these cases, you can make an appointment for a cosmetic consultation. However, if
your tooth cracks or breaks off, and you’re experiencing severe pain or bleeding, it’s
essential to see an emergency dentist. If you’re experiencing a head injury, go directly to
an emergency room.

In the case of a broken or chipped tooth, rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply
pressure to stop bleeding, preserve the broken tooth, and call an emergency dentist as
soon as possible. Dr. Ronci will discuss your options and determine the best course of
treatment for your specific situation.

How to Get an Emergency Dental Appointment

If you need emergency dental care and can’t get an appointment with your regular
dentist, don’t panic. Simply search for “emergency dentist near me” or “urgent dental
care near me” and call the closest emergency dentist.
