A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or treat infection. Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, dental abscesses or infections, lost fillings or crowns, oral injuries from accidents or sports, and swelling or bleeding of the gums. If you're unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us at (813) 397-8442 and our team will help assess the urgency.
Yes. Hospital emergency rooms can provide temporary relief for severe pain, swelling, or bleeding, but they typically don't have the specialized tools or training to treat dental conditions like infected teeth, broken crowns, or tooth trauma. A dental office like Lake Magdalene Dental can provide complete emergency care—diagnosing the problem, relieving pain, and offering definitive treatment to resolve the issue. For dental emergencies, calling a dentist first is usually the best option.
If a tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Here's what to do immediately: Handle the tooth by the crown (top part), not the root Rinse gently with water if dirty (don't scrub or remove tissue) Keep it moist—place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or your own saliva Call us right away at (813) 397-8442
