Emergency Dentist in Carrollton, TX
Same-day emergency care for Carrollton families, including dental injuries from sports and play.
A large share of the emergencies we treat for Carrollton families involve children: a tooth knocked loose at a soccer game, a chipped front tooth from a fall, a molar that finally starts aching after weeks of quiet decay. We keep same-day slots open on most business days precisely because these things don't schedule themselves, and our team is comfortable treating anxious kids without rushing them.
Built for family emergencies
Carrollton is family territory, and family dental emergencies look different from adult ones. Children's injuries are often more urgent than they appear: a baby tooth that's been pushed out of position can affect the permanent tooth developing beneath it, and a knocked-out permanent tooth is one of the few true race-against-the-clock situations in dentistry. We see kids and adults in the same practice, so a family with two different problems doesn't need two different appointments across town. The drive from most of Carrollton runs about 10 to 15 minutes down Josey Lane or Midway Road.
Getting here from Carrollton
From the Trinity Mills or Josey Lane area, head south toward Valley View Lane, then east to Midway Road and south to 14228 Midway Rd, Suite 100. From Old Downtown Carrollton, Midway Road runs almost directly south to us. Free parking sits at the entrance. Call (972) 852-2222 before you leave so we can be ready.
Questions we hear most
If it's a permanent tooth, handle it by the crown, rinse gently with milk or saline, and either reinsert it or keep it in milk — then come immediately. If it's a baby tooth, do not reinsert it; call us and we'll advise. Either way, call (972) 852-2222 right away.
We treat a lot of nervous children and we don't rush them. We explain what we're doing in terms they understand, and Dr. Houshmand is certified in conscious sedation if a child needs more support to get through treatment comfortably.
If there's pain, a sharp edge cutting the lip or tongue, or visible pink or red at the fracture, see us promptly. A small cosmetic chip without pain can usually wait a few days but should still be checked.
Often, yes. Tell us when you call how many people need to be seen and what's happening with each, and we'll do our best to group the visits.
