What to do while you wait for your Lubbock appointment
- Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
- Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
- Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
- Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

In most cases, yes. Lubbock partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
Can you help if I am visiting Lubbock and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Lubbock partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.

Yes. Several partner clinics serving Lubbock and Lubbock County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.

Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Lubbock partner dentists can start the same day.
