Dental emergencies come in many shapes and sizes, but they commonly involve damage to one or more teeth. In some situations, a person may even have a tooth dislodged or knocked out. 

No matter how the emergency happens, it is vital to immediately seek treatment from an emergency dentist. In some cases, the tooth may be able to be saved.

South Florida emergency dentist Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski treats patients in a wide range of emergency situations, including those in which a tooth has been dislodged or knocked out. She has a long track record of successful results addressing these emergencies, as well as helping people restore and improve their smiles after an emergency.

Dr. Natalia is grateful for the opportunity to form personalized and often lasting relationships with her patients over the course of more than 15 years of providing dental services in Ft. Lauderdale. Our patient reviews speak for themselves: The people that we work with often rave about the experience.

Time is of the Essence

Teeth can be dislodged as a result of a physical blow to the face or jaw, whether it is from a slip and fall or an accident on a sports field. The key in these emergencies is to act quickly. It may mean the difference between saving or losing the tooth.

You should see an emergency dentist within 30 minutes of losing the tooth. First, you should locate the tooth, handling it by the crown and rinsing it lightly with water to remove any dirt or debris. You should then reposition the tooth in the socket as soon as possible and hold it in place using your fingers or by gently biting down.

The tooth must remain moist at all times. That means that you should put it in your mouth – or in a glass of milk – if you cannot place it back in the socket. Do not use water.

After an Emergency

There are a number of restorative and cosmetic options for people who lose teeth or have them damaged in an emergency situation. They include:

• Porcelain veneers
• Metal-free restorations
• Direct bonding
• Dental crowns
• Bridges
• Dentures
• Tooth-colored fillings
• Inlays and onlays

At Pearl White, Dr. Natalia can help you explore these options and come up with a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Dental Restoration After an Emergency

The first thing to do in a dental emergency is to seek immediate assistance. That means either contacting an emergency dentist or going to a hospital emergency room, depending on the situation. 

Once the emergency is under control. There are a number of restorative options for repairing cracked, broken and dislodged teeth, as well as other damage. They include: 

• Root canal: This procedure helps save injured or decaying teeth from extraction by eliminating infections.
• Crowns and bridges: Crowns rebuild teeth by placing new caps on them. Bridges are artificial teeth used to fill gaps in a smile.
• Inlays and onlays: These restorative treatments are used to address various tooth imperfections.
• Tooth extraction: In some situations, a tooth may need to be removed to save others and combat gum disease.
• Dentures: These teeth replacements, which can be partial or full, use prosthetic versions attached to a plastic base that looks like your gums.

Regardless of the dental condition that you are trying to address, it is important to understand all of the options. At Pearl White, Fort Lauderdale emergency dentist Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski will take the time to walk you through the treatment options and craft a plan that meets your individual goals.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed life as we know it for people throughout South Florida and across the country. 

As infection rates remain significant across the country, some people may be hesitant to take care of regular dental and other health needs.

Handling Dental Emergency Situations During the Pandemic

Dental emergencies come in many different varieties. They include:

• Objects lodged in teeth
• Trauma involving facial bones
• Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth
• Post-surgery emergencies 

What all of these emergencies have in common is that they must be addressed immediately. First, you should try to stop any bleeding by using continuous pressure for up to 10 minutes. If the bleeding does not substantially slow in that time, go directly to an emergency room. You should also go straight to the ER if you believe you have a broken jaw. 

Otherwise, use over-the-counter pain medication and ice to relieve pain and swelling. In the meantime, contact an emergency dentist.

If the situation does not require an immediate ER trip, over-the-counter medication can be used to reduce any pain, along with ice to reduce swelling. You should then contact an emergency dentist.

As Florida gradually starts to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic and people leave their homes more frequently, there comes the risk of a wide range of accidents that are simply a part of everyday life. That includes dental emergencies, which require the treatment of an experienced emergency dentist.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in May lifted the state’s stay-at-home order and allowed dentists and medical professionals to administer a number of elective procedures. That also means that dentists can continue to perform emergency procedures. 

Florida emergency dentist Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski has been assisting patients in emergency and other situations for more than 15 years. She has a wide range of experience helping people in emergency situations, working to address the situation by saving teeth and restoring smiles.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes and can happen in a number of different ways, from a slip and fall or a car accident to a mishap on a sports field. Common emergencies include:

• Jaw injuries
• Lost dental restorations
• Objects stuck between your teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Broken teeth
• Dislodged teeth
• Severe toothaches
• Soft tissue injuries

What these situations have in common is that it is important to remain calm and act quickly. Taking the appropriate steps and saving a few minutes here or there can have a big impact, including by potentially saving some teeth.

In situations in which a person is bleeding, it is vital to try to immediately stop or slow the blood by applying continuous pressure. If the blood does not slow within 10 minutes, the injured person should go directly to an emergency room. Anyone who thinks they have a broken jaw should also go straight to the ER.

For other dental emergencies, the injured person should take over-the-counter medication for pain, use ice to reduce any swelling and contact an emergency dentist.

Stay at home orders in Florida and across the country are limiting the services that dentists can perform during the coronavirus pandemic.

An emergency dentist, however, can still help people in certain situations that require urgent care. Dentists can also advise people dealing with dental emergencies about their options for restoring and improving their smiles after the pandemic.

Ft. Lauderdale emergency dentist Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski has been helping patients in urgent care situations for more than 15 years. She and her team at Pearl White Dentistry also offer a wide range of restorative and cosmetic dentistry options for patients who want to improve their smiles after an emergency is resolved.

Whether it is dental crowns and bridges or porcelain veneers to fix cracks and gaps or our at-home teeth whitening package to address stains, we are dedicated to helping our patients brighten their smiles. These are often relatively easy solutions that can have lasting benefits.

What is a Dental Emergency?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently issued an executive order that bans dentists and other health care related service providers from performing procedures that are not urgent during the state’s “stay at home” order, which is currently in effect through at least April 30. But dentists and other health care professionals are expected to continue providing emergency services for Floridians during that time.

Some of the most common emergency situations that we deal with include:

•   Broken or dislodged teeth
•   Cracked or broken crowns, filings, bridges
•   Severe toothaches
•   Abscessed teeth
•   Objects lodged between teeth

Certain situations must be addressed as soon as possible to limit the risk of serious, long-term consequences. It is vital to try to stop or slow any bleeding by applying continuous pressure. If bleeding does not significantly slow within 10 minutes, or if you think you have suffered a broken jaw, you should go directly to an emergency room.

Restorative, Cosmetic Solutions after an Emergency

There are a wide range of restorative dentistry options for anyone recovering from an emergency situation. Some include:

•   Crowns and bridges: Crowns are often used to rebuild teeth by placing new caps on them. Bridges are artificial teeth used to fill gaps in a smile.
•   Root canals: This procedure is designed to help save injured or decaying teeth by eliminating infections in the tooth pulp.
•   Porcelain veneers: This treatment addresses gaps, cracks and stains by using thin sheets of porcelain to cover the teeth.
•   Teeth whitening: We offer an at-home treatment package to make stained or faded teeth regain their shine.

At Pearl White, Dr. Natalia and her team of dental professionals have been performing these and other services for patients for nearly two decades.

At Pearl White Dentistry, we are continuing to offer emergency dental work during the pandemic. We understand that certain issues must be addressed immediately and we have experience assisting people facing a wide range of emergency situations.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has banned health care, dental and other related service providers from performing non-urgent procedures during the “stay at home” order in effect through at least April 30. That move is designed to prevent the spread of the virus and preserve protective equipment and other resources for doctors and medical staff on the front line.

But the governor has also made clear that dentists and other health care professionals are expected to continue providing essential and emergency services for Floridians. That is because time is often of the essence in these situations. Dental emergencies, for example, often must be addressed as soon as possible to avoid significant long-term consequences.

Our teeth are an essential part of our body, not only because they are the tools we use to chew our food, but because they shape our face and allow us to share a beautiful smile wherever we go.

However, many times we take the health of our teeth for granted and forget that as all the valuable things must be taken care of.

Age is not a factor that determines the health of our teeth, they may be at risk at any time and due to different factors such as: gum disease, decay or an accident among others.

Although sometimes we find it boring, the proper care of our teeth is vital for their preservation, cleaning the plaque (which is the main cause of cavity formation), brushing teeth and using dental floss is key to avoid gum disease.

Another unpleasant consequence of bad oral health is bad breath! When we do not brush our teeth daily, bacteria build up occurs in the mouth, which over time becomes the cause of innumerable problems.

A useful tip to add to your oral routines, and that many people do not know is to brush your teeth before eating acidic foods (this way you prevent the enamel from being mistreated by brushing right after eating). Once you finish eating, drink a glass of water to help remove any excess acid that can cause damage to your teeth.

Remember, a healthy smile begins at home!

Flossing is an important oral hygiene practice. Tooth decay and gum disease can develop when plaque is allowed to build up on teeth and along the gum line.

Cleaning between teeth removes plaque that can lead to cavities or gum disease from the areas where a toothbrush can’t reach.
