Not sure if it’s an emergency? If you’re in pain, it is. Call us. Here are the most common emergencies we see at our Leander office.
🦷 Severe Toothache
What it is: Persistent, throbbing pain that may signal infection or nerve damage.
Before you arrive: Rinse with warm salt water. Take over-the-counter ibuprofen. Avoid hot or cold foods.
Urgency: High — call today
💥 Chipped or Broken Tooth
What it is: A crack, chip, or fracture from trauma or biting something hard.
Before you arrive: Save any pieces. Rinse your mouth. Apply gauze if bleeding. Use a cold compress on your cheek.
Urgency: High — same-day treatment recommended
🚨 Knocked-Out Tooth
What it is: A tooth completely displaced from its socket, usually from an impact or fall.

Urgency: Critical — call immediately
👑 Lost Filling or Crown
What it is: A filling or crown that has fallen out, exposing the tooth underneath.
Before you arrive: Keep the crown if you have it. Apply dental cement or sugar-free gum as a temporary cover. Avoid chewing on that side.
Urgency: Moderate — schedule within 24 hours
🔴 Dental Abscess or Infection
What it is: A pocket of pus caused by bacterial infection. May cause swelling, fever, and a foul taste.
Before you arrive: Rinse with salt water. Do not pop or squeeze the abscess. Take ibuprofen for pain.

What it is: Cuts, tears, or puncture wounds to the gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips.
Before you arrive: Apply firm pressure with gauze or a clean cloth. Rinse gently with salt water.
Urgency: Moderate to High — depends on bleeding severity
⚙️ Broken Orthodontic Wire

Emergency Dentist Leander TX: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an emergency dentist open near me in Leander?
Yes. Crystal Lake Family Dental in Leander, TX offers same-day emergency dental appointments. Call (512) 528-9100 and we will fit you in as quickly as possible, often the same day you call. We serve Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and Georgetown.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess or infection, soft tissue injuries with bleeding, and broken orthodontic wires. If you are in pain or worried about permanent damage, call us right away.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently with water. Try to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in a cup of milk or saliva. Call (512) 528-9100 immediately. The best chance of saving the tooth is within 30 minutes.
How much does emergency dental care cost?
Emergency exam and X-ray costs vary depending on the treatment needed. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options. Call us at (512) 528-9100 for a cost estimate before your visit.
Do you accept walk-ins for dental emergencies?
We do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but calling ahead at (512) 528-9100 helps us prepare for your arrival and reduces your wait time. Same-day appointments are almost always available.
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
The ER can manage pain and infection with medication, but most emergency rooms cannot perform dental procedures like extractions, root canals, or tooth repairs. A dental office with our in-house Implant & Extraction Specialist like Crystal Lake Dental can diagnose and treat the problem in one visit.
What if I need a tooth pulled same day?
Crystal Lake Dental has an Implant & Extraction Specialist on staff, Dr. Sharaf, who performs same-day extractions. No referral needed. We also offer IV sedation for patients who need it. Call (512) 528-9100 to schedule.

The ADA estimates that over 2 million emergency room visits per year are for dental pain, many of which could be handled by a dentist. (ADA Health Policy Institute, 2023)
Acting within 30 minutes of a knocked-out tooth increases the chance of successful reimplantation. (International Association of Dental Traumatology, 2022)
