Friendly Staff and Gentle Care

I had to go for a tooth extraction, which is never a fun or good day. The staff was so friendly and understanding. They made me feel comfortable the whole time. The dentist was super sweet and gentle. She was very detailed in explaining everything to me. I will definitely be going back for routine dental care.

Steps to Take in a Dental Emergency

In most cases, we can easily repair broken, cracked, or chipped teeth to restore the function and appearance of the tooth. This type of dental damage isn’t always painful, but if it is, you can try using a cold compress to minimize pain and swelling in the area.cartoon tooth with stethoscope | emergency dentistry temple tx

If you have a broken tooth, bring the pieces with you to our dental office if possible. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling, and rinse your mouth with warm water to keep it clean and minimize discomfort. See your emergency dentist in Temple, TX, or visit an emergency care center if necessary.

During regular business hours, contact Lakewood Dental Trails right away, and we can usually accommodate your emergency with same-day treatment. Even if we can’t resolve the problem for you that day, our dental team will make sure you’re comfortable and your teeth are protected until we can.

Doesn’t it seem as if most dental emergencies seem to happen at night or on weekends? After regular business hours, you can leave a message, and we'll get back to you by the next business day.

Emergency Dental Care Technology

Nitrous Oxide

Need a little help relaxing at your next dental appointment? Ask us about sedation dentistry at our Temple, TX dental office!

Nitrous oxide is a safe and mild gas that you inhale through a small nasal mask. The effects will make you feel relaxed and drowsy. You’ll be fully conscious and aware of the activity around you, but it will seem far away. When we complete your procedure, we’ll stop the flow of nitrous and have you breathe pure oxygen for a few minutes. You’ll leave our office feeling relaxed, refreshed, and proud of your healthy smile.

Since nitrous oxide is so safe and gentle, it’s also great for kids who have trouble sitting still or have multiple dental procedures planned.
