Call my office in pain and my team picks up, listens, and gets you in the same day — every open day. That's not a promise, it's what we do.
Is This a Dental Emergency? If It Hurts — It Probably Is
Do not wait to see if the pain goes away. Most dental emergencies worsen rapidly without treatment — infection spreads, teeth cannot be saved, and simple problems become complex ones. Call Dr. C at (972) 276-4888 if you experience any of the following.
Severe Toothache
Throbbing, constant, or unbearable tooth pain — especially pain that wakes you from sleep, spreads to the jaw or ear, or is accompanied by swelling — is a dental emergency. It usually indicates pulp infection or abscess. Do not wait for it to "calm down." Call now.
Dental Abscess
Facial swelling, fever, severe throbbing pain, swollen lymph nodes, bad taste in mouth — these are signs of a dental abscess, a bacterial infection that can become life-threatening if it spreads to the jaw or airway. This is a true dental emergency. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to the ER immediately. Otherwise, call Dr. C.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved — but only if reimplanted within 30–60 minutes. Every minute counts. See the first-aid instructions below immediately. Then call Dr. C at (972) 276-4888 and come directly to our Frisco TX office. Do not wrap the tooth in tissue or let it dry out.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth — especially one causing sharp pain when biting, sensitivity to temperature, or visible fracture — needs same-day evaluation. A crack that reaches the pulp requires root canal therapy; one that extends to the root may require extraction. Early treatment saves the tooth.
Lost Crown or Filling
When a crown falls off or a filling is lost, the underlying tooth structure is exposed and vulnerable to pain, sensitivity, further decay, and fracture. If the exposed tooth is causing significant pain, treat as a same-day emergency. Apply temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) for short-term protection.
Soft Tissue Injury & Bleeding
Lacerations to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums that do not stop bleeding with firm pressure within 15–20 minutes need professional attention. For significant bleeding that does not stop, go to the nearest emergency room. For oral lacerations that have stopped or are manageable, call Dr. C.
Swollen Jaw or Face
Facial swelling or a swollen jaw — even without visible dental pain — is a serious sign of spreading infection. Do NOT apply heat to swelling. Call Dr. C immediately. If swelling is rapidly worsening, affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, or is accompanied by high fever — go directly to the emergency room.
Loose Adult Tooth
A loose permanent tooth in an adult is always an emergency — adult teeth should not be loose. Possible causes include severe gum disease, trauma, or bone loss. Do not attempt to wiggle or remove it. Keep the tooth in position, avoid chewing on that side, and call Dr. C for same-day evaluation and stabilization.
Wisdom Tooth Pain / Pericoronitis
Pain, swelling, and infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) can escalate rapidly. Symptoms include pain, swelling of the gum flap, difficulty opening the mouth, and a bad taste. Salt water rinses provide temporary relief — call Dr. C for evaluation and treatment.
Orthodontic & Cosmetic Dental Emergencies
Sharp aligner, broken bracket, chipped veneer — these all qualify as dental emergencies. Dr. C treats the full spectrum.
Invisalign Pain & Aligner Emergencies
Sharp aligner edge cutting your gum? Lost or cracked aligner tray? Severe pain from a new tray? A lost aligner left untreated can cause teeth to shift in as little as 24–48 hours. Dr. C can trim sharp edges, provide a replacement tray plan, and relieve discomfort same-day.
Broken Braces & Wire Emergencies
A broken bracket or poking wire injures your cheek, gum, or tongue. Dr. C provides emergency relief — trimming a poking wire, temporarily re-cementing a bracket, and treating soft tissue injuries. Don't wait through a weekend of pain or risk swallowing a bracket.
Chipped Veneers & Cosmetic Emergencies
A chipped or debonded porcelain veneer exposes the underlying tooth, causing sensitivity and pain. Dr. C can temporarily re-bond a veneer or stabilize the tooth same-day, preventing further damage while a permanent restoration is planned. Dental bonding emergencies treated same-day too.
Also treated same-day: dental implant pain or movement · temporary crown issues · wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) pain flare-ups · post-extraction dry socket · broken partial denture · mouth guard damage · sports mouth guard emergency.
❓ Not sure if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency? Call (972) 276-4888 — Dr. C's team will advise you immediately at no charge. We would rather you call and hear it's not urgent than not call when it is.
Knocked-Out Tooth? Act in the Next 60 Minutes
Over 5 million teeth are knocked out every year in the US (Cleveland Clinic). A knocked-out adult tooth can be saved — but only if you act immediately and correctly. Here's exactly what to do in the next 60 seconds.
Knocked-Out Tooth — What To Do Right Now
Why Every Minute Matters — The Science Behind the Window
When a tooth is knocked out, the periodontal ligament cells attached to the tooth root begin to die within minutes of exposure to air and drying. These cells are critical to successful reimplantation — they anchor the tooth back into the bone and allow the socket to accept the returned tooth.
The 30–60 minute window is when reimplantation has the highest probability of long-term success. Beyond 60 minutes, viability of the periodontal ligament cells drops significantly. Beyond 2 hours dry, the tooth is unlikely to be saved.
✅ Best storage options (ranked)
1. Back in the socket (reinsertion) — best by far, immediate reimplantation preserves cells best
2. Milk — keeps cells alive well, widely available
3. Saline solution (contact lens solution or sterile saline)
4. Inside the cheek between gum and cheek (own saliva)
5. Emergency tooth preservation kit (Hank's Balanced Salt Solution)
❌ Never store a knocked-out tooth in:
Plain tap water (hypotonic — kills cells quickly) · Paper towel or tissue (dries out immediately) · Ice (too cold, destroys cells) · Plastic bag dry (no moisture — cell death within minutes)
📊 Clinical data (Cleveland Clinic): More than 5 million teeth are knocked out every year in the United States. The majority involve upper incisors — the front teeth most visible and important for function and aesthetics. Sports activities account for an estimated 3–5 million avulsed teeth annually. Immediate professional reimplantation by a dentist provides the highest probability of long-term retention.

Call (972) 276-4888. Our team answers and listens to your symptoms immediately. They assess the urgency, reserve your same-day slot, and give you any critical first-aid instructions for the next few minutes. If you can't reach us by phone, text or use the online form and we'll respond immediately.
Emergency patients are prioritized. When you arrive at 4500 Hillcrest Rd Suite 190, Frisco TX 75035, you are taken back promptly. Our team has already been briefed on your situation from the call, so no time is wasted repeating yourself to multiple people.

Before any treatment begins, local anesthesia is administered to completely numb the area. Dr. C does not proceed until you are fully comfortable. For anxious patients, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available as an additional comfort option. You will not feel treatment pain — only the injection itself.
Dr. C treats the immediate emergency — relieving pain, stopping infection, stabilizing or saving the tooth. You receive written post-care instructions, any prescriptions needed, and a clear plan for any required follow-up treatment. You leave knowing exactly what happened and what comes next.
Emergency Treatments Available Same-Day
"The most common thing I hear from patients after an emergency appointment is: 'I can't believe how much better I feel. I wish I had called sooner.' Dental pain is exhausting — physically and emotionally. My entire team takes emergency calls seriously, prioritizes them, and gets you in fast. That's what same-day care actually means."
How Much Does an Emergency Dentist Cost in Frisco, TX?
Worried about cost? Don't be — and never let it delay care. Here are typical price ranges for common dental emergencies in the Frisco TX area, plus the insurance and financing options that make same-day treatment affordable. An emergency dental exam at Frisco Dental Hub costs a fraction of a hospital ER visit — and actually fixes the problem.
| Emergency Treatment | Typical Cost* | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency exam & diagnosis | $75–$200 | Problem-focused exam to pinpoint the emergency |
| Emergency dental X-ray | $25–$150 | Instant digital X-ray, 90% less radiation |
| Simple tooth extraction | $150–$350 | Removing a damaged or painful tooth |
| Surgical / complex extraction | $250–$600 | Broken-down, impacted, or wisdom tooth |
| Emergency root canal | $700–$1,500 | Saves an infected tooth and relieves pain |
| Dental crown | $1,000–$1,800 | Restores a cracked or broken tooth |
| Abscess drainage + antibiotics | $100–$400 | Drains infection and stops the spread |
| Re-cement lost crown / filling | $75–$250 | Protects an exposed tooth fast |
*Estimated ranges before insurance for the Frisco / North Texas area. Your exact cost depends on diagnosis — Dr. C provides a clear, itemized estimate before any treatment begins. Call (972) 276-4888 for a quote.
Emergency Dentist vs. Hospital ER for Tooth Pain
A hospital ER can manage pain and infection — but it cannot fix your tooth. For most dental emergencies, an emergency dentist is faster, cheaper, and actually solves the problem.
| 🏥 Hospital ER | 🦷 Frisco Dental Hub | |
|---|---|---|
| Treats the actual tooth? | ❌ No — pain meds & antibiotics only | ✅ Yes — fixes the source of the pain |
| Typical cost | $400–$1,500+ | A fraction of ER cost |
| Wait time | Often several hours | Same-day, emergencies prioritized |
| Dentist on site? | Rarely | ✅ Always — Dr. C, UCSF-trained |
| You leave with… | A prescription and a referral | The problem actually treated |
⚠️ Go straight to the ER for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial/neck swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding — these are medical emergencies. For everything else, call (972) 276-4888.
Insurance & Payment — Never Let Cost Delay Emergency Care
We make emergency care affordable for insured and uninsured patients alike.
Patients Who Called Dr. C in a Dental Emergency
Real patients. Real emergencies. Same-day care that made the difference.
"I have been coming to Dr. C for the last 10 years — with and without insurance. I have referred many of my coworkers, family members, and friends. Will always recommend this office. They treat us like family."
"I had an excellent experience with Dr. C and their team! I went for an extraction, a filling, and a cleaning — and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism. Dr. C made sure I was comfortable and well-informed at every step. The extraction was surprisingly quick and virtually painless. What stood out most was the friendly atmosphere and how the staff genuinely cared about my comfort and recovery. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate dental care. Five stars all the way!"
"Dr. C had to do an extraction and implant on one of my back teeth that had previously had a root canal. He thoroughly explained what was going on, what my different options were and the benefits of each option, and how much each option cost. Dr. C and his team did a great job on the implant and I have had no problems with it — a huge relief after years of having problems with that tooth. I was pretty reluctant because I knew my insurance wasn't going to cover much, but Dr. C made it affordable and allowed me to make monthly payments for the remainder of my balance. I am very grateful to him and his team for such great care."
"This is hands down the best dental office in the metro. Staff treat you like family, and Dr. C is terrific. Everything was explained clearly and they helped with insurance and payment options. Really, if you're reading this and thinking about using them, you can stop trying to decide. This is the dental office you should use."
Real Patients. Real Results. Real Care.

Emergency Dentist Frisco TX — Common Questions
In pain and need immediate help? Call (972) 276-4888 — don't wait for an answer here.
A dental emergency is any oral condition causing severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, risk of tooth loss, or spreading infection that requires same-day professional treatment. Common dental emergencies include:
• Severe or throbbing toothache — especially with swelling or fever
• Dental abscess — swelling, fever, bad taste, severe pain
• Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth — 30–60 minute window to save it
• Broken or cracked tooth with pain or exposed nerve
• Lost crown or filling causing significant pain
• Soft tissue injury with persistent bleeding
• Swollen jaw or face — possible spreading infection
• Loose adult tooth
If unsure, call (972) 276-4888 — Dr. C's team advises immediately at no charge.
Yes — a knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved if reimplanted within 30–60 minutes. The key steps:
1. Pick up by the crown only — never touch the root
2. Rinse gently under water for 10 seconds — do not scrub
3. Try to gently reinsert into the socket, OR place in milk
4. Call (972) 276-4888 and come directly to our Frisco TX office
Success rate is approximately 85% within 30 minutes — drops dramatically after 60 minutes dry. Baby teeth (primary teeth) should NOT be reinserted — call Dr. C for guidance.
Yes — emergency dental slots are held every open day at Frisco Dental Hub. Hours and availability:
• Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9am–4:30pm (emergency slots held daily)
• Saturday: By appointment — including emergency appointments
• Call (972) 276-4888 immediately — team answers and prioritizes
• Do not wait — dental emergencies worsen rapidly without treatment
Act immediately — a knocked-out tooth can be saved within 30–60 minutes if handled correctly. Do this right now:
1. Pick up tooth by the crown (white part) — never touch the root
2. Rinse gently under water for 10 seconds — do not scrub
3. Try to gently reinsert into the socket, OR place in milk
4. Call (972) 276-4888 and come directly to 4500 Hillcrest Rd Suite 190, Frisco TX 75035
Never: wrap in tissue, store in tap water, or let it dry out. Success rate ~85% within 30 min — drops dramatically after 60 min.
Yes — a dental abscess is a serious bacterial infection that can become life-threatening if untreated. Warning signs of a dental abscess:
• Severe throbbing toothache that doesn't let up
• Facial swelling, swollen jaw, or puffy gum
• Fever or chills
• Swollen lymph nodes in neck or jaw
• Bad taste in the mouth
Do NOT apply heat — it accelerates bacterial spread. Call (972) 276-4888 immediately. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing alongside facial swelling, go directly to the nearest ER — this is a medical emergency.
Take ibuprofen AND acetaminophen together (better than either alone), apply a cold compress, and call (972) 276-4888 for a same-day slot. Full first-aid steps:
• Rinse gently with warm salt water
• Take OTC ibuprofen + acetaminophen combined — follow package dosing
• Apply cold compress to outside of face — 20 min on, 20 min off
• Do NOT place aspirin directly on tooth or gum — burns tissue
• Do NOT apply heat if any swelling present
• Call (972) 276-4888 for same-day appointment
Frisco Dental Hub is open Saturdays by appointment — including emergency appointments. Call (972) 276-4888. For Sunday emergencies, go to the nearest hospital emergency room or urgent care for pain management and antibiotics, then follow up with Dr. C at Frisco Dental Hub at the next available opening.
A lost crown should be treated promptly. The exposed tooth is vulnerable to pain, fracture, and decay. Temporarily protect it with over-the-counter dental cement (Dentemp — available at pharmacies) and call (972) 276-4888. If the exposed tooth is causing significant pain, treat it as a same-day emergency. Bring the crown to your appointment — it may be re-cementable.
An emergency dental exam in Frisco TX typically costs $75–$200 before insurance, and treatment cost depends on the diagnosis. Typical ranges: simple extraction $150–$350, emergency root canal $700–$1,500, abscess drainage $100–$400, re-cementing a lost crown $75–$250. This is a fraction of a hospital ER visit ($400–$1,500+), which can only prescribe medication and cannot fix the tooth. Frisco Dental Hub accepts most major PPO insurance, CareCredit 0% financing, HSA/FSA, and offers an in-house plan for uninsured patients. Dr. C provides a clear, itemized estimate before any treatment. Call (972) 276-4888 for a quote.
For most tooth pain, an emergency dentist is the right choice — a hospital ER can give you pain medication and antibiotics, but it cannot treat the actual tooth, and it costs far more. An emergency dentist at Frisco Dental Hub sees you the same day, diagnoses the cause, and fixes the problem. Go to the ER instead only if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling, high fever with swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding — these are life-threatening medical emergencies. For everything else, call (972) 276-4888 for a same-day emergency appointment.

Clinical Emergency Dental Facts

Dental abscess warning: infection can spread to jaw, neck, and airway — potentially life-threatening. Do NOT apply heat. If difficulty breathing or swallowing alongside swelling, immediate ER required.
First aid for toothache: warm salt water rinse, ibuprofen AND acetaminophen combined (better together), cold compress 20 min on/off. Do NOT put aspirin on gum. Do NOT apply heat.

📖 Emergency Dental Glossary
Avulsed tooth: A tooth that has been completely knocked out of its socket by trauma. An avulsed adult tooth can often be reimplanted if treated within 30–60 minutes. Also called a knocked-out tooth.
Dental abscess: A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection of the tooth pulp or surrounding gum tissue. Symptoms include throbbing pain, swelling, fever, and a bad taste. Can become life-threatening if untreated.
Pericoronitis: Infection and inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth — most commonly a wisdom tooth. Causes pain, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, and bad breath.
Pulpitis: Inflammation of the dental pulp (the soft inner tissue of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). Causes severe, often throbbing toothache. Treated with root canal therapy.
Periodontal ligament: The connective tissue fibers that anchor the tooth root to the jawbone. Keeping these cells alive (in milk, saline, or saliva) is the key to successful reimplantation of a knocked-out tooth.
Emergency root canal: Root canal therapy performed urgently to relieve severe pain from pulp infection or abscess. Removes infected tissue, eliminates the source of pain, and saves the tooth — often in a single visit.
Dental splint: A device bonded to adjacent teeth to stabilize a reimplanted or loose tooth while healing occurs. Used after knocked-out tooth reimplantation.
