What Is a Dental Emergency?

When a dental emergency strikes, you need immediate care from an experienced professional. At Kamel Dentistry in Plantation, FL, we understand that dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, have a knocked-out tooth, or suffered a dental injury, Dr. Lance Kamel and our team are here to provide prompt, compassionate emergency dental care to patients throughout Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, and surrounding Broward County areas.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but certain situations demand urgent care to prevent further damage, relieve severe pain, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe toothache or dental pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relievers

  • Knocked-out tooth (avulsed tooth) requiring immediate reimplantation

  • Broken, cracked, or chipped teeth causing pain or sharp edges

  • Lost filling or crown exposing sensitive tooth structure

  • Dental abscess presenting as swelling, fever, or pus around a tooth

  • Broken or damaged dentures affecting your ability to eat or speak

  • Soft tissue injuries including cuts to lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums

  • Orthodontic emergencies such as broken wires causing injury

  • Object stuck between teeth that flossing cannot remove

If you’re experiencing any of these issues and are unsure whether it’s an emergency, call our Plantation office at (954) 472-2000. Our team will assess your situation and schedule you for the earliest available appointment.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency?

Taking the right steps immediately after a dental emergency can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Here’s what to do:

What to do for a Knocked-Out Tooth

For a Knocked-Out Tooth:

  1. Handle the tooth by the crown only—never touch the root

  2. Gently rinse the tooth with water if dirty (don’t scrub)

  3. Try to reinsert the tooth into the socket if possible

  4. If you can’t reinsert it, place it in a container of milk or saliva

  5. Get to our Plantation office within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth

What to do for a Severe tooth pain

For Severe Tooth Pain:

  1. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water

  2. Gently floss to remove any trapped food particles

  3. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed

  4. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek

  5. Never place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth

  6. Call us immediately for an emergency appointment

What to do for a Broken or Chipped Tooth

For a Broken or Chipped Tooth:

  1. Rinse your mouth with warm water

  2. Save any tooth fragments if possible

  3. Apply gauze to any bleeding areas for 10 minutes

  4. Use a cold compress on your face to reduce swelling

  5. Contact our office right away for treatment

What to do for a Lost Crown or Filling

For a Lost Crown or Filling:

  1. Keep the crown if you still have it

  2. Clean the crown and try to slip it back over the tooth with dental cement or toothpaste

  3. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth

  4. Call us to schedule a repair appointment as soon as possible
