Emergencies (Seen Same Day)

Dental emergencies can be scary. What do you do? Who do you see? Should you go to the emergency room? Can it wait until morning? Woodbury Periodontics PC in Houston, Texas, can answer all of those questions.

Woodbury Periodontics PC offers same-day appointments to handle emergencies even if you have no established family dentist. Our staff can make room in the daily schedule to assess and treat tooth pain or trauma. Call 713-524-6900 and ask for an emergency appointment.

Of course, not all injuries happen during business hours. Patients should call our number even after hours to be connected with an on-call dentist for advice and possibly an emergent visit.

Even toothaches can be considered an emergency especially if accompanied by swelling. The source of the pain could be an abscess that needs immediate attention to prevent the spread of infection to other areas of the body. Any question about tooth pain should be directed to the office or the on-call dentist. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Some dental injuries may still require an emergency room visit, but most of the time, the ER doctor can only provide some pain relief and the recommendation to see a dentist as soon as possible. The deductibles and co-pays for an ER visit tend to be extreme, as well as the long wait to be seen.

Save on pain and expense by calling our office first at 713-524-6900.
