Dental emergencies can happen anytime—whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, sudden pain, or a persistent sore that won’t go away. No matter the issue, we’re here to help you get relief fast.
We know dental emergencies don’t wait for regular business hours, and neither do we. At Dental Depot of Arlington, we offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible and are also open on Saturdays. Whether you’re an existing patient or new to our practice, our team is ready to provide compassionate, effective care when you need it most.
If your dental emergency requires immediate attention, we’ll begin treatment as soon as possible. For more complex issues like infections or abscesses, we’ll schedule a full appointment to ensure you receive the best care.
At Dental Depot of Arlington, we accept walk-in and same-day emergency appointments, though some wait time may be necessary as we work you into our schedule. Our team will keep you informed and do everything possible to get you seen quickly.
If you are a new patient, please bring a state-issued photo ID and insurance information (if applicable). Guardians must provide an ID for minor patients.

While dental emergencies can be painful, they are rarely life-threatening. Stay calm, and trust that our team will provide the best possible care as soon as possible.
Dental emergencies require immediate attention, and you should be seen as soon as possible. If you’re a current Dental Depot patient, call your regular location. New patients should contact the nearest Dental Depot of Arlington office. Follow your dentist’s guidance until you arrive.
An abscess is a painful pocket of pus caused by an infection in the tooth or gums. Symptoms include persistent toothache, swelling, sensitivity, and acute pain. Left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding tissue, requiring urgent care.
If a tooth gets knocked out, act fast! Only touch the crown, never the root, and store the tooth in milk or Save-A-Tooth solution until you can get to the dentist. The sooner you seek care, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
If you experience severe pain, bleeding, or swelling in the mouth, gums, or face due to injury, seek emergency care immediately. These could indicate fractured teeth, deep cuts, or other serious issues that need prompt evaluation.
While urgent dental injuries don’t pose an immediate threat to your health, they should still be addressed as soon as possible. If you experience any of the following, follow your dentist’s guidance until you can be seen.
A cracked or chipped tooth can be painful and may worsen if left untreated. Apply a cold compress and take a pain reliever to minimize discomfort until your appointment.
While toothaches aren’t always emergencies, persistent pain that worsens over time should be checked. If pain radiates to the jaw, ear, or neck, or is accompanied by fever or swollen lymph nodes, notify your dentist immediately.
A lost filling or crown can cause pain and sensitivity in the exposed tooth. If possible, save the crown or filling and bring it with you to your appointment. Keep the tooth clean until you can see your dentist.
While dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, taking a few simple precautions can reduce the risk and severity of injuries.
