Toothache
Rinse with warm water and floss gently to clear any debris. A cold compress on your cheek helps with swelling. Don’t place aspirin directly on the gum.
Emergency Dentist in Frisco, TX: Same-Day Care When You’re in Pain
Rated 5 stars by 860+ Clients on
A toothache isn’t like other pain. It throbs, it radiates, it keeps you up at night, and it rarely gets better on its own.
At Stonelake Family Dentistry, we understand that dental pain is some of the worst pain there is, and that it often needs immediate care, not a spot on next week’s schedule.
That’s why we hold appointments open every day for dental emergencies. If you’re hurting, call us at (214) 494-4246. In most cases, we’ll see you the same day. Our first job is to get you out of pain. Then we find the cause, explain your options clearly, and treat the problem the right way.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments in Frisco
Dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule, so our schedule makes room for them. We reserve time each day specifically for urgent cases, because waiting days with a toothache, a broken tooth, or a swelling jaw isn’t just miserable. It can turn a treatable problem into a much bigger one.
Call (214) 494-4246 as early in the day as you can. The sooner we see you, the sooner you’re comfortable, and the more options we have to save your tooth.
Precise Diagnosis with Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Good treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. Our office uses cone beam CT (CBCT) technology: advanced 3D imaging that shows your teeth, roots, nerves, and jawbone from every angle in a single scan.
For emergencies, that matters. A standard X-ray can miss a hidden crack, an infection at the tip of a root, or exactly where an abscess is spreading. Cone beam imaging lets Dr. Pak see the full picture before treatment begins, so your diagnosis is precise, your treatment plan is right the first time, and there are no surprises.
Our Philosophy: Save Your Natural Tooth
When it comes to treating toothaches, Dr. Pak’s philosophy is simple: save the tooth whenever possible. Nothing functions, feels, or lasts like your own natural tooth, so extraction is our last resort, not our first suggestion.
A severe toothache often means the nerve inside the tooth is infected or inflamed. In many cases, root canal therapy can relieve the pain, remove the infection, and preserve the tooth for years to come. We’ll always walk you through what’s happening inside your tooth, what it takes to save it, and what the alternatives are, with honest, upfront pricing, so you can decide with confidence.
Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Knocked-out tooth (call immediately; fast action gives the best chance of saving it)
- Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Lost or damaged crown, filling, or veneer
- Dental abscess: swelling, or a pimple-like bump on the gum
- Tooth pain when biting, or sensitivity that lingers
- Injury to the lips, gums, tongue, or jaw
- Something stuck between teeth that floss can’t remove
Not sure if it’s an emergency? If it hurts, call (214) 494-4246. We’ll help you figure out whether you need to come in today.
What to Do Before You Arrive
Knocked-out tooth
Pick it up by the crown (the part you chew with), not the root. Rinse it briefly without scrubbing, and keep it moist in a cup of milk or tucked inside your cheek. Get to us as fast as you can.
Broken tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces in milk.
Emergency Dentistry FAQs
Can I get a same-day appointment for a dental emergency?
Yes. We hold appointments open every day for emergencies, so in most cases we can see you the same day you call. Call (214) 494-4246. The earlier you call, the more times we can offer you.
Do you take emergency walk-ins?
We do our best to work in walk-ins, but calling ahead gets you seen fastest, since we can have the right room, equipment, and imaging ready when you arrive.
My tooth is killing me. Will you have to pull it?
Not necessarily. Our philosophy is to save your natural tooth whenever possible. Many painful teeth can be treated with root canal therapy, which removes the infection and the pain while keeping your tooth. We’ll show you exactly what’s going on with 3D imaging and explain every option before any treatment begins.
What does an emergency visit cost without insurance?
Your visit starts with an exam and imaging so we can diagnose the problem and get you out of pain. Before any treatment, you’ll know the exact cost, with no surprises. We also work with most PPO dental plans and can verify your benefits before your visit.
I’m anxious about dental treatment. Can you help?
Yes. We offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) to help you relax, and our team is known for a gentle, unhurried approach, even in an emergency.
Don’t Wait on Dental Pain
