Emergency dental care in Texas: what to know
Every dentist we refer to in Texas holds an active license with the Texas dental board, treats urgent cases, and quotes fees before treatment. Typical emergency exam fees across the state run $120–$280, and simple extractions $180–$450.
Medicaid rules for adults differ across states, and in Texas they typically cover emergency exams, pain relief and extractions rather than crowns or root canals. Mention your coverage when you call so we can match you with a participating Texas clinic. Children on Medicaid or CHIP have broader emergency coverage.

Which cities in Texas do you cover?
We refer callers in 1,469 Texas cities covering 2,599 ZIP codes. The largest are listed on this page, and the operator can help with any other community in the state.
Is the referral free anywhere in Texas?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the clinic for treatment you choose to have.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment?
Photo ID, a list of medications, your insurance card if you have one, any broken tooth pieces (in milk), and a way to pay the exam fee.
Should I go to the emergency room instead?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
How do I check that a Texas dentist is licensed?
Every dentist we refer to holds an active license. You can verify any dentist yourself through the Texas dental board, which is linked on this page.
