What to do while you wait for your Temple 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.

Temple emergency dentist FAQ

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

Does calling guarantee a dentist in Temple itself?
We always look inside Temple first. If nothing is open, we offer the nearest clinic in Bell County, and you can decline any option without charge.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Temple clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Should I go to a Temple 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 Bell County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
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 Temple slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Temple?
In most cases, yes. Temple 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.
