What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, infection, or trauma to the mouth that requires immediate treatment. If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing qualifies — call us. We'd always rather hear from you early than have you wait too long.
Call us right away if you're experiencing:
- Severe or rapidly worsening tooth pain
- A tooth that's been knocked out, loosened, or cracked
- Swelling in the face, jaw, or gums
- Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth
- A lost filling, broken crown, or dislodged dental work
- Fever combined with mouth or jaw pain
The sooner we see you, the better your chances of saving the tooth and avoiding more invasive treatment down the road.
Emergencies We Treat for Burleson Patients
Whether you're in Burleson, Keene, Cleburne, or Alvarado — here's what we handle on emergency visits, often the same day you call.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical — a tooth can often be saved if re-implanted within 30 to 60 minutes. Keep the tooth in milk and get to our office immediately.
Severe Toothache
Intense or throbbing pain often signals deep decay, infection, or nerve damage. We'll diagnose the cause and treat it — often with a same-day root canal or restoration.
Dental Abscess
A pimple-like bump on the gums, facial swelling, or fever can signal a spreading infection. This is urgent — call us immediately or go to the ER if you have trouble breathing or swallowing.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A cracked tooth exposes the inner structure to bacteria. Save any broken pieces, avoid chewing on that side, and get in as soon as possible for a same-day crown or bonding.
Lost Filling or Crown
When a filling or crown comes loose, the exposed tooth is vulnerable to further decay and damage. Avoid chewing on that side and bring the restoration to your appointment.
Soft Tissue Injury
Cuts or tears to the lips, tongue, cheek, or gums can bleed heavily. Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze — if bleeding doesn't stop within 15 minutes, seek immediate care.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most from emergency patients visiting us from Burleson.
Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies — toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost crowns — call a dentist first. ERs typically can't perform dental procedures; they manage pain and prescribe antibiotics. However, go to the ER immediately if you have uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing or swallowing, a suspected broken jaw, or major facial trauma.
How far is Keene Family Dentistry from Burleson?
Our office is about 10 minutes south of Burleson. Take US-67 South to Old Betsy Road — we're at 428 S. Old Betsy Rd., Suite C, Keene, TX 76059. Call ahead at (817) 765-9957 so we can prepare for your arrival.
Do you see new patients for emergencies?
Yes — you don't need to be an existing patient. We welcome emergency patients from Burleson, Cleburne, Alvarado, and the surrounding areas. We'll handle paperwork quickly so you can be treated as fast as possible.
What should I do while waiting to be seen?
For pain, take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen as directed and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it in milk and get here within 30 minutes if possible. For bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. Call us on the way so we can advise you and prepare for your arrival.
Does insurance cover emergency dental visits?
Most dental insurance plans cover at least part of emergency visits and medically necessary treatments like extractions, root canals, and crowns. We verify your benefits quickly and explain costs before any work begins. We also offer flexible financing options — cost should never stop you from getting urgent care.
Can a dental emergency wait overnight?
Some situations can wait until morning with careful management — a loose filling with no pain, mild sensitivity, or a small chip. But severe pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth, or signs of infection should not wait. When in doubt, call us — we'll help you determine whether you need to come in now or can safely wait for a morning appointment.
