Dental Emergencies McKinney, TX

Q: Is a toothache a dental emergency?

Any time you are in discomfort, we want to ease it as fast as possible. That’s why we’ll arrange a same-day appointment for you if we can. A toothache often signals an infected tooth. It’s important to treat the infection right away since it can spread and cause serious health issues.

End Your Emergency & Renew Your Smile With Restorative Treatment

Whether you’re hurting from a toothache or have broken a tooth, we’ll get you feeling better fast with restorative dental care:

Tooth Fillings – A cavity can cause a toothache. If not repaired, decay can get inside your tooth and become infected. We’ll remove all traces of decay and place a dental filling to stop damage in its tracks.
Dental Crowns – Crowns can resolve many dental problems. We use them to fix deeply decayed, cracked, or broken teeth.
Root Canals – If the soft pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, it can damage your tooth so much that it will need to be extracted. A root canal treatment eliminates the infection so you can keep your tooth.
Gum Disease Treatment – If your gums hurt and bleed, you could have gum disease. We can reverse the disease in its early stages with a deep cleaning treatment. To repair the receding gums that can result from more advanced cases, we can perform a gum graft.
Tooth Removal – It may be necessary to extract severely damaged teeth. Our dentists can comfortably remove most teeth, including wisdom teeth.

Dental emergencies in McKinney are no cause for panic. Call Dossett Dental ASAP at 972-787-1869. In non-emergency situations, you can also schedule online.
