Walk-In Emergency Dental Care in Tyler, TX
Dental emergencies don't wait for appointments. At our Tyler office at 601 E Dodge St, walk-in emergency patients are always welcome. Dr. Trinh Dinh, DDS and our Tyler team prioritize urgent cases to get you out of pain as quickly as possible.
We treat a full range of dental emergencies including severe toothaches, broken or cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, swollen jaw, and dental infections.
Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe or sudden tooth pain
- Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
- Lost filling or crown
- Dental abscess or infection with swelling
- Swollen jaw or gums
- Bleeding from the mouth that won't stop
- Partially dislodged (extruded) tooth
- Soft tissue injuries to lips, gums, or tongue
What to Do Before You Arrive
Knocked-out tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk or between your cheek and gum and get to our Tyler office immediately.
Severe pain or swelling: Call (903) 231-8303 immediately. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum tissue — this can cause burns.
Lost crown or filling: Keep the area clean. You can use dental cement (available at pharmacies) as a temporary measure. Come in as soon as possible so Dr. Trinh Dinh can recement or replace it.
After-Hours Dental Emergencies
Our Tyler office is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. For after-hours or weekend emergencies, we recommend calling us before 6 PM Friday so we can fit you in.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding), please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
