What to do if you have a dental emergency
Quick action can protect your teeth and reduce pain. If you're not sure what to do, call our team and we'll guide you step by step.
1. Call our office
Tell us what happened, how long it's been going on, and what you're feeling. We'll let you know if you should come in immediately and how to manage pain until you arrive.
2. Follow short-term instructions
Depending on the situation, we may recommend rinsing gently with warm water, using a cold compress, or safely storing a knocked-out tooth or broken piece.
3. Get a same-day emergency exam
At your visit, we'll take any needed X-rays, relieve pain, and explain your options so you can decide the best next step.
Situations that usually need same-day care
These signs can point to infection, damaged teeth, or other problems that should be checked quickly:
- •Severe toothache or throbbing pain
- •Swelling in the face or gums
- •Broken, chipped, or fractured tooth
- •Knocked-out tooth (adult / permanent tooth)
- •Lost filling, crown, or temporary crown
- •Gum abscess or visible pimple on the gums
- •Injury from sports, falls, or accidents affecting the mouth
Issues that can often be scheduled soon, not tonight
These situations still matter, but don't always need late-night or weekend emergency treatment:
- •Mild tooth sensitivity that comes and goes
- •A small chip that doesn’t hurt
- •A crown or filling that feels a little rough but isn’t painful
If you're not sure which category your situation falls into, call us. We'd rather have you ask than wait and worry.
Emergency dentist FAQs
Common questions patients ask us when they're dealing with a dental emergency in Orlando.
What counts as a dental emergency?+
Any dental problem causing moderate-to-severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma to the teeth or mouth can be considered a dental emergency. Common examples include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, infections, and abscesses.
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Orlando?+
In most cases, yes. BrightSmiles Dental reserves time each day specifically for dental emergencies. Call us as early as possible, and we will do everything we can to see you the same day.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?+
You can still be seen. We regularly help patients without dental insurance. Our team will review costs before treatment, discuss payment options, and help you prioritize the most urgent care first.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?+
Costs vary depending on what is needed—such as an exam, X-rays, medication, or procedures like a filling or root canal. Before we begin, we’ll provide a written estimate and review your insurance benefits (if applicable) so you know what to expect.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?+
If an adult tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top), gently rinse it if dirty, and if possible place it back in the socket or in a container of milk or saliva. Call us immediately—time is critical in saving the tooth.
