Same-Day Emergency Dental Care
North Richland Hills Dentistry offers same-day emergency dentistry for our community. Please make sure to call us as soon as an emergency arises so that we can get you into our office quickly. When you are in pain, you don't want to spend time hunting for a dentist who can fit you in. Or worse, suffer through the pain until your next appointment.
Be Prepared!
Emergencies are by nature, unexpected. However, it’s still important to have a plan in place. There are a few things you can do to better navigate a stressful situation such as a dental injury. First, make sure you have our office number written down at your house and in your phone contacts. This allows you to reach out to us right away without having to search for our number. We also recommend keeping a small dental emergency kit in your house and your car. In your kit, we recommend having clean gauze, a small container with a lid, over-the-counter pain medication, mouth-numbing cream, and hydrogen peroxide. This way you'll be prepared to stop bleeding, disinfect a wound or transport a knocked out tooth as you head to our office.
Emergency Prevention
You can prevent the need for some types of emergency care by keeping up with twice a year preventive visits. Regular exams allow our team to catch potential problems in their early stages. Additionally, while it's hard to prevent all accidents, some can be avoided when we fit your active family members with athletic mouthguards.
