What to Do in a Dental Emergency
If you find yourself in an emergency, follow these steps:
1. Call us immediately so we can prepare for your arrival.
2. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown, gently rinse it, and attempt to place it back in its socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva.
3. Use clean materials to manage bleeding and apply cold compresses for swelling.
4. Take over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary, but remember, these are temporary measures—our office is your next stop for definitive care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or save a tooth is considered a dental emergency. This includes severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, loose or lost fillings, and abscesses. If you're uncertain whether your situation is an emergency, call Pine Avenue Smiles for guidance.
Can I get emergency dental care in Oldsmar, FL?
Absolutely! Pine Avenue Smiles in Oldsmar, FL, offers same-day emergency appointments to address your urgent dental needs. We are equipped to handle various dental emergencies promptly and efficiently.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Time is critical in saving a knocked-out tooth. Pick the tooth up by the crown (top part), rinse it without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk and call us immediately for a same-day emergency appointment.

Does Pine Avenue Smiles offer pain relief for dental emergencies?
Yes, providing relief from pain and discomfort is a primary concern during any dental emergency. We utilize various methods to ensure your comfort during emergency treatment.
What can I do to manage pain before I get to the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort, and applying a cold compress can reduce swelling. Remember, these are temporary measures until our emergency dental care team can see you.
Is bleeding from the gums a dental emergency?
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease and should be evaluated by a dentist, especially if it's severe or doesn't stop. Call us for an urgent consultation.
