Dental Emergency? We are here to help.

When extreme tooth pain or another dental problems arise, you may need urgent and immediate care. At Maxwell Creek Family Dentistry, we offer convenient emergency dental treatment near you in Wylie, Sachse and surrounding communities. For those times when you need dental care most, we want you to know that you can turn to our caring team at Maxwell Creek Family Dentistry. What types of dental emergency do we treat? We encourage you to give us a call as soon as any of the following occurs:

A severe toothache, lost or broken dental filling, broken crown or veneer, a chipped or broken tooth, or a tooth that has been knocked out.

What to know when you have a dental emergency

Should you slip and fall, chipping or even knocking out a tooth, call our office as soon as it occurs and let us know you’re coming; some specific instructions may need to be given over the phone. Make sure to retrieve the knocked-out piece of tooth if at all possible; if the whole permanent tooth has been knocked out, we may be able to save it if it is brought to us in time. The faster you act, the better your chances of saving the tooth. Don’t scrub or clean away any tissue that clings to the tooth, but do gently rinse away dirt with cool water only. If possible, replace the permanent tooth in the socket immediately and hold it there with clean gauze or a wash cloth. If you can't put the tooth back in the socket, place it in a glass of cold milk and bring it to the dental office immediately. "Baby" teeth cannot be re-implanted. These instructions are the same for adults, too. A toothache can be a sign of major trouble, like the need for a root canal. Our emergency family dentistry includes toothache assessment and treatment. We will determine the cause of your toothache and provide treatment recommendations depending on the source of the pain. A dental restoration – a filling, crown, or veneer – can loosen, break, or be lost, and when this happens, you’ll want to visit our Wylie office as soon as possible for emergency family dentistry. A lost or broken dental restoration can threaten your natural tooth, leaving it exposed to irritants and inflammatory agents that can cause disease. We’ll want to replace your dental restoration as soon as possible to reduce this risk. Lost dental restorations can also greatly diminish your ability to function, making it hard to eat and speak freely. Emergency dentistry from Maxwell Creek Family Dentistry can help you regain your freedom quickly and get you back to normal once again. Make sure to save your dental restoration if you can – if your crown has simply come loose but isn’t broken, we may be able to put it back on your tooth without having to create a whole new crown, saving you both time and money.When you need emergency family dentistry attention for either adults or children, contact Maxwell Creek Family Dentistry. We serve the dental needs of patients near Wylie, Sachse, Murphy, Lucas, and surrounding Texas communities, offering complete general, restorative, cosmetic, implant and children’s dentistry. Online scheduling is now available here.

TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

Do you need a tooth extracted? Our Wylie dental office is here to help! Sometimes trauma, gum disease, cracked or broken teeth, and tooth decay can be too significant, and despite our best efforts to save the tooth, extractions may be the best option. Our experts at Maxwell Creek Family Dentistry offers a clean and safe dental environment and will make the process as comfortable and pain-free as possible. We will only recommend a tooth extraction if it’s absolutely necessary to your health, and after the procedure, we’re happy to discuss your tooth replacement options with you.
