Sometimes, a small break—think chipped tooth—can wait until the next available appointment, but pain indicates you need to contact your emergency dentist in Royal Palm Beach as soon as possible to arrange an appointment.
We make time in our daily schedule to treat dental emergencies and can typically see you on the same day.
While you wait for your emergency dental visit in Royal Palm Beach, you can try the following temporary measures for relief:
- Use an ice pack periodically to numb the area.
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
- Take a store-bought pain reliever if you’re medically able.
- Apply oil of clove to the tooth.
When you call to book your emergency dental appointment, a member of our team can also provide customized advice for temporary relief.
How We Treat Your Chipped Tooth
Our first goal is to relieve your pain and stabilize the tooth. Then, your dentist will discuss restoring it. Depending on the nature of the break, we may crown the tooth or restore it with dental bonding. The second part of your treatment may occur at a future appointment.
We offer tooth replacement options if the break is severe and the tooth cannot be saved.
