Questions Patients Ask Us
A dental emergency includes severe, uncontrollable tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a cracked or fractured tooth, soft tissue injuries, uncontrolled bleeding, a lost crown or filling, or signs of infection like facial swelling.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (never touch the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that isn't possible, store it in milk or saline solution and visit Hallandale Dental Care within 30 to 60 minutes for the highest chance of saving it.
We prioritize instant pain relief by applying local anesthetics or performing immediate emergency interventions, such as draining an abscess, starting a root canal, or stabilizing a fractured tooth.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relievers (avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums).
While not always life-threatening, a lost crown or filling exposes the vulnerable inner tooth to bacteria and extreme sensitivity, so it should be evaluated promptly to avoid deeper damage or root canals.
Signs include severe throbbing pain, localized swelling on the gums or cheek, fever, a foul taste or discharge in your mouth, and difficulty opening your jaw or swallowing.
For dental-specific issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or lost restorations, an emergency dentist is best equipped. However, if you experience severe facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing, go to an ER immediately.
Rinse your mouth with warm water, collect any broken fragments if possible, cover any sharp edges with dental wax or sugarless chewing gum, and seek professional care right away.
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency exams and diagnostic X-rays. Our administrative team works directly with your provider to help maximize your coverage during urgent situations.
Prevent emergencies by wearing a mouthguard during sports, wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, avoiding chewing on hard ice or hard candy, and visiting Hallandale Dental Care for routine preventative check-ups.
