What to do while you wait for your Austin appointment
- Numb the area safely: a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against the cheek, 15 minutes at a time. Skip numbing gels on broken skin.
- Keep it clean: rinse gently with warm salt water after eating. Do not probe a cavity or socket with anything sharp.
- Manage the pain: ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs. Never place a tablet against the gum.
- Save what came out: a crown, a filling fragment or a whole tooth. A knocked-out tooth goes in milk and needs a dentist within the hour.

Austin emergency dentist FAQ
Need an Austin dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, Mon to Sat 10am to 5pm ET, Sun 9am to 2pm ET.
Should I go to an Austin hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Travis County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of an Austin dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Can you help if I am visiting Austin and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to an Austin partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Is the referral really free?
Yes. Calling 1-855-219-4656 costs nothing and you are under no obligation. You pay only the Austin clinic for treatment you choose to have.
What do I do if it starts hurting in the middle of the night?
Rinse with warm salt water, keep your head raised and use an over-the-counter painkiller you normally tolerate. Call as soon as the line opens and we book the first Austin slot available. Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that will not stop, is an emergency room visit, not a wait.
