\"Toothache,<\/a>A old crown fell out of your mouth. Your tooth hurts, and you are self-conscious.\u00a0 Call your dentist in San Marcos, Dr. J. Robert Donnelly<\/a>, to find out what to do. As a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry and a Texas Monthly Super Dentist with years of experience, he has the skill and compassion you can trust.<\/p>\n

Immediate Care for Teeth and Gums<\/h3>\n

Dentistry is more than X-rays, cleanings and fillings. Sometimes oral health situations need quick action and advice. The process of restoration often begins at home with prevention.<\/p>\n

Protect your oral health from decay and gum disease with twice daily brushing and flossing<\/a> and with six-month exams and cleanings at San Marcos Gentle Dental. This preventive dental care removes harmful plaque and tartar and uncovers small problems before they become complex and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

However, sometimes a serious situation will arise out of the blue. A motor vehicle accident, sports injury, fall on ice in the cold weather–mishaps knock out teeth or lacerate soft oral tissues. When something urgent happens, what do you do?<\/p>\n

Please call San Marcos Gentle Dental for non-life threatening emergencies involving the teeth, gums, tongue, or jaw. Dr. Donnelly\u2019s team will schedule an appointment if warranted or advise you on what to do before you come to the office.<\/p>\n
