What to do while you wait for your Plainview 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.

Plainview emergency dentist FAQ
Need a Plainview dentist now? Call 1-855-219-4656, free, 24 hours a day.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Plainview clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
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 a Plainview dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
How quickly can I be seen in Plainview, TX?
Typically the same day. Overnight calls are usually booked for the first available slot the next morning, and the operator tells you the time before you hang up.
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 Plainview slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
What should I bring to an emergency appointment in Plainview?
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.
