When Tooth Trouble Strikes, We Step In

Our dental team handles all types of emergencies with urgency and expertise. We create space in our schedule for same-day visits and walk you through every step to get relief fast. The dentist evaluates your condition, explains your treatment options, and acts quickly to reduce pain and stop the problem from spreading.

You can expect a calm, judgment-free environment where your comfort comes first.

How to Know If It’s a Dental Emergency

Some issues can wait a day or two. Others need immediate care. So, does your situation count? Look out for these red flags:

  • You have severe tooth pain or pressure
  • Your gums swell or bleed without stopping
  • You lost a filling, crown, or tooth
  • You cracked or chipped a tooth
  • You injured your jaw, lips, or tongue
  • You see pus or feel heat near a tooth or gum

Knocked-Out Tooth? Don’t Panic

If a tooth gets knocked out, time matters. Pick it up by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently. If you can, place it back into the socket. If not, store it in milk or a tooth-preserving solution.

Call us immediately. Our dentist has the best chance of saving the tooth within the first 30 to 60 minutes.

Toothaches That Mean Business

Tooth pain may seem like a minor annoyance, but it often points to deeper issues like infection, decay, or trauma. Our dentist examines the area with digital X-rays and pinpoint precision. Depending on the severity, he may recommend a filling, root canal, or extraction.

Pain that comes on suddenly, throbs, or spreads to the jaw or ear immediately needs attention.

Swollen Gums and Face? Infection Alert

If ignored, a dental abscess can spread quickly and become dangerous. Infections may cause swelling, fever, bad breath, or a pimple on your gums. Our dentist may need to drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, or perform a root canal or extraction to stop the infection at the source.

Always treat swelling in the mouth or jaw as an urgent issue.

Busted Crown or Broken Filling?

Losing a crown or filling can expose the sensitive inner part of your tooth. Chewing becomes uncomfortable, and the risk of further damage increases. The dentist can replace the restoration or place a temporary fix until your permanent one is ready.

Avoid sticky or hard foods until we restore the tooth’s structure.

Mouth Injuries: Teeth Aren’t the Only Concern

Sports injuries, falls, or biting accidents can cause cuts, bruises, or broken bones. Our dentist checks your lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw for injuries that need treatment. We refer to specialists for fractures or complex trauma, but we handle most soft tissue injuries right in our office.

A quick visit helps prevent infection and ensures nothing is missed.

Emergency Dentistry in Little Elm: We’ve Got You Covered

Our office handles urgent dental care with speed and compassion. We equip our treatment rooms with diagnostic tools, numbing options, and emergency materials so the dentist can act fast. We treat adults, teens, and kids with the same focus on comfort and care.

We also work with you to manage pain and plan any follow-up treatment.

What to Expect During an Emergency Visit

When you arrive, our staff checks you in immediately and notifies the dentist. You’ll fill out a brief health history, and then we’ll start your exam. The dentist often checks your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite using digital X-rays or intraoral cameras.

After diagnosing the issue, we begin treatment or provide temporary relief to stabilize your condition.

Tips to Avoid a Repeat Emergency

Once the crisis passes, we want to help you prevent future issues. The dentist may recommend changes to your home care routine, follow-up treatments, or protective gear. Here’s how to reduce the risk of another emergency:

  • Wear a mouthguard during contact sports
  • Never use your teeth to open bottles or packages
  • Address tooth pain before it worsens
  • Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels, or hard candy
  • Get regular checkups to catch issues early

My whole family goes here because the doctors and staff are amazing! Dr. G did my filling, I love how they’re so thorough!! My teeth feel so cleaned and new! LOL. I also want to mention how great their staff are, They also have a mini play area on the front which is so helpful for families with kids! THANK Y’ALL! So grateful to be care for here! 

The staff is so friendly, very easy to schedule, they do beautiful work!  Dr. G is my go-to dentist there. She’s the best!!!!!

Dr G is the best dentist I have found since moving to Dallas. I always feel at ease when I am getting work done and I fully trust her with teeth.

She is great at explaining everything to me and ensures I have the best treatment possible. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and the work that she does.

Excellent experience. Staff and Dr. G were very informative explaining my options and what to expect during the process of my treatment. Excellent Experience. My dentist Dr. G is informative, excellent practitioners and professional in resolving my issue. Hats off to you guys “Issue Resolved”.

My son has special needs and requires more time, patience and attention than a typical person. This practice and Dr. G were amazing with him and we cannot thank them enough. Instead of dreading his next cleaning, I’m looking forward to it.  Thank you guys so much!

Everyone is so friendly and kind.  Miriam and Dr. G are wonderful!  I go here for cleanings, checkups, and they did a beautiful job on my crowns.  If you have dental anxiety like me, go here and ask for Miriam and Dr G.  The rest of the staff is great too and make scheduling or rescheduling appointments easy.  Highly recommend!!!

I am very happy with the work that Dr G and Nicolette has been doing on my teeth. They conduct themselves in a highly professional manner, always smile with a worm greeting that gives me confidence in their work. They make me feel important. That my friends, is what great services is all about. I think the Family Dentistry is the best for your dental work.

I never thought I would be writing a review about a dentist, but this place is awesome! Dr G has helped me overcome my fear of dentists. She is kind, patient, and makes me laugh.  I am shocked at how relaxed I am in her chair and how effortlessly she works. I have never experienced this with another dentist.

“I have been visiting this dental since over a year, and I definitely highly recommend it, especially DR. G, she is a professional, and does her job well.”

“The staff is so sweet! Dr. G is so efficient and has great bedside manner. I’m glad I chose them as my new dentist office.”

Gadusu (DR. G)was absolutely genuine breaking everything down giving me the best recommendations for my oral care! She even did a follow up next day call after my tooth extraction. The Dental assistant that did my X-rays that was by her side was very helpful and nice as well. I highly recommend for anyone kids – to adults!

“This was my daughter’s first visit with Canyon Creek and she enjoyed it very much. She had a cleaning done and said it’s been her most enjoyable visit. Thank you Dr G!”
