What to do while you wait for your Mission appointment

  • Toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the label. Never place aspirin against the gum.
  • Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
  • Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
  • Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Mission emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Mission dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.

Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Mission?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Hidalgo County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
What happens if I call at 3 a.m.?
A real person answers. For severe swelling or bleeding you will be advised whether the emergency room is safer. Otherwise we book the first Mission slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Do Mission emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Mission who treats children.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Mission?
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 Mission partner dentists can start the same day.
Should I go to a Mission 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 Hidalgo County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
