What to do while you wait for your Richardson appointment

  • Pain relief: ibuprofen and acetaminophen taken together, as the labels allow, usually work better than either alone. Avoid heat on the face.
  • Bleeding: bite on clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 20 minutes without checking. If it soaks through repeatedly, tell the operator when you call.
  • Lost filling or crown: keep the crown if you have it. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the tooth until your appointment.
  • Tooth knocked out: do not scrub the root. Put the tooth in milk or hold it in your cheek and get to the dentist within the hour if you can.

What if I do not have dental insurance in Richardson?
You will still be seen. Every dentist in our Richardson network accepts uninsured patients and quotes fees before treatment. Many offer monthly payment plans.
Should I go to a Richardson 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 Dallas County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.

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.
How quickly can I be seen in Richardson, 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.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Richardson?
In most cases, yes. Richardson 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.
