Temporary crown broke off my tooth last night and the pain is pretty bad. There’s zero emergency dentists around Polk but, I’ll be TDY to Sam Houston tomorrow. While I’m there can I go to the dentist?

Last time I did dental on FT Sam they had dental sick call in the morning. If you cannot get in there, maybe BAMC or I know University (non-military) has a dentist associated with their ER.

During TDY (temporary duty), you can often use dental services at another military installation. It's best to check the specific policies of the installation you’re visiting, as they can vary.

For anybody that cares, got here went to Budge Dental Clinic on post, did a sick call slip around 1300 and he fixed my tooth.

Yes I did pretty much the same thing while inprocessing at Ft Sam. Just showed up at dental sick call time. Only showed my CAC.
