What to do while you wait for your Port Arthur 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.

Port Arthur emergency dentist FAQ

Need a Port Arthur 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 Port Arthur clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Port Arthur?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a Jefferson County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Which ZIP codes in Port Arthur do you cover?
All of them, from 77640 to 77643 and every code in between. If your ZIP is in Jefferson County, we will find the nearest open clinic.
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 Port Arthur dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
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 Port Arthur slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
