Temple Dental Trails is where you need to go!

I am terrified of the dentist. But I have a broken tooth I needed to get looked at before it really started hurting. My hygienist was Stephanie, and she was amazing. She listened to my concerns, was very compassionate and explained everything in detail to ease my mind. Dr. Kern was so sweet, explained everything completely, answered my questions & just made me feel so comfortable. I’ve never been to a dentist office like this before. So if you are looking for an amazing dentist who actually cares…Temple Dental Trails is where you need to go!

I’m having a dental emergency. What should I do?

We know that dental emergencies are often frightening and almost always painful. The first step is to contact our Temple dental office as soon as possible. Our emergency dentist in Temple, TX reserves time to provide urgent care for patients.

If your dental emergency occurs during business hours, give our 76502 office a call, and we will usually get you in for treatment the same day.

In an emergency, there are some steps you can take before you get to our office for treatment:

Severe Tooth Pain

As you can guess, severe pain indicates a serious problem that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. You can use cold compresses on and off for 20 minutes to help reduce the pain until you get to our office.

Knocked-Out Teeth

Call our office immediately, because the sooner we see you, the better the chance we have of saving your tooth. Handle it by the crown and do not touch the root! It's important to keep the root moist, so you should place the tooth in milk or warm water until you get to our office.

Lost Dental Crown

In some cases, it is possible to re-cement the crown back in place, so keep it safe until you are able to arrive at our office. We do not recommend using over-the-counter cement to try to place the crown back on your tooth.

Note: If your emergency involves trauma to your face or head, call 911 or get to an emergency room immediately.
