A Dental Emergency Can Happen to Anyone — We’re Ready
Whether you’re a Texas State student who cracked a tooth during an intramural game, a family visiting the San Marcos Premium Outlets, or a commuter on I-35 who woke up with unbearable tooth pain — dental emergencies don’t wait for a good time. Delaying treatment only makes the problem worse.
At myDental San Marcos, we set aside time every day for emergency patients. You don’t need to drive to Austin or wait until Monday — same-day emergency dental care is right here on the I-35 North Frontage Road, minutes from Texas State University.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not sure if your situation needs urgent attention? If you’re dealing with pain, something feels broken, or you notice swelling, call us right away. Here are the most common emergencies we treat at our San Marcos office.
Throbbing, persistent pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter medication and interferes with daily life
Cracks, chips, or fractures from sports injuries, accidents, or biting down on something unexpectedly hard
Time is critical — a knocked-out tooth can often be reimplanted if treated within 30–60 minutes
Swelling, fever, or a pus-filled bump on the gums — dental infections can spread rapidly without treatment
Same-Day Emergency Dental Treatments in San Marcos
Our San Marcos dentists are equipped to diagnose and resolve most dental emergencies in a single appointment. Here’s what we can handle for you today.
Tooth Repair
Bonding, temporary crowns, or splinting for cracked, chipped, or loosened teeth. We restore both function and comfort the same day you visit.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the nerve inside your tooth, a root canal eliminates the infection and preserves your natural tooth, avoiding extraction.
Emergency Extraction
When a tooth is too severely damaged to be saved, we perform a safe extraction and discuss replacement options such as implants or bridges.
Abscess & Infection Treatment
We drain abscesses, prescribe targeted antibiotics, and address the root cause to stop the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues.
What Happens During Your Emergency Dental Visit
We’ve streamlined the process so you spend less time waiting and more time healing. Here’s what to expect when you contact our San Marcos office for urgent care.
Call or Book a Same-Day Appointment
Call (512) 815-2254 and let us know you have an emergency. We’ll fit you into the schedule the same day — often within the hour.
Thorough Assessment
Your dentist examines the affected area, captures digital X-rays for a clear picture of the problem, and determines the most effective course of action. We explain every option before starting treatment.
Immediate Pain Relief
Your comfort comes first. Whether it’s local anesthesia, medication, or draining a painful abscess, we prioritize getting you out of pain right away.
Same-Day Treatment & Aftercare Plan
Most emergency cases are fully resolved in one visit. If additional treatment is needed, we’ll schedule your follow-up and send you home with clear aftercare instructions.

Emergency Dental Questions for San Marcos Patients
Don’t see your question? Contact our San Marcos office — we’re happy to help.
Yes. We reserve time every day for emergency patients at our San Marcos office. Our hours are Monday – Friday 9 AM – 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM – 3 PM. Call (512) 815-2254 and we’ll get you in the same day — often within the hour.
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans, including many plans offered through universities and student health programs. If your plan is a PPO, there’s a strong chance we’re in-network. Call us at (512) 815-2254 and our team will verify your benefits before your appointment. If you don’t have insurance, our myDental Care Plan provides affordable coverage for students.
Emergency dental costs depend on the specific treatment you need. A diagnostic exam with X-rays is the first step, and we give you a clear cost breakdown before beginning any treatment. We accept most PPO insurance plans, offer flexible financing with easy monthly payments, and have the myDental Care Plan for uninsured patients.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (top part), not the root. If possible, gently place it back in the socket. If that isn’t an option, keep it moist in milk or your own saliva. Then call us immediately at (512) 815-2254. The sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth — ideally within 30 minutes.
If the chip is causing pain, has sharp edges cutting your tongue or cheek, or if you can see pink or red tissue inside the tooth, it’s definitely an emergency. Even a minor chip should be evaluated soon to prevent further damage. Call our office and we’ll let you know how quickly you need to come in based on what you describe.
Yes. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation at our San Marcos office to help patients with dental anxiety stay relaxed and comfortable during emergency treatments. Learn more about our sedation options.
