Emergency Dentist in Green Acres, FL

If a tooth breaks, start by gently rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face to manage swelling. If you can locate the broken pieces, wrap them in a moist cloth and bring them to our Green Acres, FL office immediately.

A displaced permanent tooth is a critical emergency. Hold the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface), never the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing off any attached tissue. If possible, try to reinsert it into the socket. If not, keep it moist in a small container of milk or tucked inside your cheek, and contact Family Dentistry of Lake Worth right away.

Severe, ongoing throbbing or sharp pain is often a sign of an underlying infection or abscess. Avoid relying solely on over-the-counter painkillers, as these only mask the symptoms. Our team will provide a professional diagnosis to treat the root cause and prevent the spread of infection.

If you have severely bitten your lip or tongue, clean the area with a damp cloth and apply pressure to stop any bleeding. Use a cold compress to reduce inflammation. If the bleeding is excessive or persistent, you need urgent clinical attention.
