Toothache, swelling, cracked tooth or a crown that just fell out? Call NewStar Dental in Fort Lauderdale. We evaluate urgent dental problems and can help you figure out what kind of appointment you need.
Same-day appointments may be possible, depending on our schedule. For urgent problems, call 954-824-1824 rather than waiting for an online booking confirmation.
When you call 954-824-1824, tell us what hurts, when it started and whether you have swelling, bleeding or an injury. If a crown or filling came out, bring it with you if you still have it. We can discuss the best available next step, although an examination is needed to diagnose the cause.
Get dental advice promptly for a severe or worsening toothache, swelling, a broken tooth, a knocked-out permanent tooth, bleeding or an injury to your mouth. If you are unsure whether it can wait, call and describe your symptoms.
The cause cannot always be determined from symptoms alone. An examination and, when appropriate, dental X-rays help determine whether treatment may involve a filling, crown, root canal, extraction or another procedure.
At an emergency visit, we examine the area, ask about your symptoms and take any needed X-rays or tests. We will explain what we find and discuss treatment or short-term measures. The care we can complete that day depends on the diagnosis and the time available.
Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root. Keep it moist. If possible, gently place it back into its socket without touching the root. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation solution and seek dental care immediately.
Save the crown or filling if you have it and call the office. The exposed tooth may need attention even if it does not hurt. Please do not use household glue. We will check whether the restoration can be put back or whether something else is needed.
Often, yes. Tooth pain can come from decay, a crack, an inflamed nerve or a problem with an old filling. Depending on the cause and how much tooth can be saved, treatment might involve a filling, crown or root canal instead of extraction.
Swelling around a tooth or the face can be a sign of infection, even if the toothache has eased. Call for an evaluation. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care or call 911.
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, major trauma or bleeding that cannot be controlled may require emergency medical care rather than an office appointment. If symptoms appear life-threatening, call 911. For other urgent tooth or gum problems, contact NewStar Dental to discuss whether a dental examination is appropriate.
We do our best to see patients with urgent dental problems promptly. Whether we can see you or complete treatment that day depends on the schedule and what your tooth needs. Calling is the quickest way to discuss the next step.
Some PPO plans help pay for emergency exams or X-rays, but coverage varies. We can check your available benefits and discuss estimated costs once we know what services are needed. Patients without insurance can ask about self-pay options.
