Emergency dental care for children in Houston, Texas

We are here for you at Say Ahhh!, especially during emergencies.

It is very important to be prepared in case your child has an emergency. Even though we wish that they wouldn’t, emergencies do happen. Being educated and knowing what to do in an emergency can be the difference between losing and saving a tooth. You also need to know your dentist’s phone number.

Please contact us right away if you are having an emergency! If we are not open, go to the nearest emergency center.

If your child loses a permanent tooth, it is important to keep it wet until you get to the dentist. If possible, place it back into the socket. If that is too painful, have your child keep it between his or her cheek and gums or place it in milk to try to save it. Please do not put the tooth in your child’s mouth if you are concerned that he or she might swallow it.

In the case of a cracked tooth or bitten tongue or lip, always have your child rinse out his or her mouth with warm water. A warm compress will help reduce swelling. If your child has something stuck in his or her teeth, gently use floss to get it out. You shouldn’t try to remove it with something sharp. To avoid Reye’s syndrome, children should not be given aspirin for pain.

Children should always wear a mouthguard during sports and other physical activities to protect their teeth. They should avoid chewing hard food like hard candy, ice, and popcorn kernels. These foods can break teeth. Both children and adults should use scissors instead of their teeth to cut or tear things.

If you have a dental emergency, contact us immediately at (281) 401-9629.

My son had a wonderful experience here! The staff and assistants were super (especially Regina). My son even asked if he could come back the next day.

I had an amazing visit with my 4-year-old daughter. Dr. Foster and the team was amazing. My daughter, who is very afraid of doctors of any kind had a very successful visit without any crying, anxiety or frustration.

I came in today to get my 3 children's teeth checked out. The staff as a whole was amazing. They all were a delight to come into contact with. We were able to have Raquel the dental assistant to complete their cleaning. She was very nice, patient and explained what was going on with my kiddos. Dr. Foster was amazing as well. If you are looking for a great friendly place to take your children to get their teeth cleaned or any dental needs I 100% recommend Say Ahhhh Dentistry.

Dr. Foster and her staff are very compassionate. They have bedside manner and they really care about their patients. I appreciate Dr. Foster for taking the time to explain the procedure and treatment plan for my daughter. It meant a lot to my wife and I.

5 stars for everything!!! We have driven by this place so many times and I wished I would have walked in sooner! They treated my daughter like a princess and helped me relax as a parent! They walked me through every step and made us feel safe! Dr. Foster is amazing and will definitely make you feel at home! One of the nurses Ms. Regina was so helpful and loving! I could have hugged both of them because we felt so much love and they cared for us! Please go here! You will not regret it!

Meet our two amazing dentists!

Dr. Foster

An avid Saints fan (whether they win or lose and it’s been a lot of losing lately and she doesn’t want to talk about it); funny and very down-to-earth; and super-smart. She’s a really good teacher. She serves as the Director of Houston’s only Pediatric Dental Assistant School when she’s not working at Say Ahhh! She loves continuing education and staff development. She’s a bit of a nerd but the cool-kind; our office is a reflection of her personality. She’s super hospitable. It may be the New Orleanian in her.

Dr. Gainey

She’s our resident “tooth-whisperer”. She’s super smart and loves continuing education training whether it's current sedation trends or tongue-tie releases, Dr. Gainey is super knowledgeable. Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Gainey was a teacher at ISD. And before becoming a Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Gainey worked in an adult special needs clinic. We can’t think of a better combination: teacher + pediatric dentist = your child is in great hands!
