What to do while you wait for your Waco 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.

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

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 Waco slot available and tell you how to manage the pain until then.
Are Spanish-speaking dentists available in Waco?
Tell the operator your language preference. Where a McLennan County partner clinic has Spanish-speaking staff, we route you there.
Do Waco 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 Waco who treats children.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Call first. Walk-ins are sometimes turned away when a Waco clinic is full, but a booked emergency slot is held for you.
Can you help if I am visiting Waco and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Waco partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
