Same-Day Emergency Dental Care
Fast, gentle relief when you need it most.
A dental emergency can include severe tooth pain, a broken or chipped tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess or facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop. Beautiful Smiles of Plantation provides prompt evaluation and same-day relief whenever possible, with calm guidance about what needs attention now and what can safely wait.
What this treatment involves.
Dental emergencies can happen suddenly, but fast action often makes treatment simpler and protects more of your natural tooth. Persistent or severe pain may signal deep decay, a crack, infection, or pressure inside the tooth. Swelling, fever, a bad taste, or a pimple-like bump on the gum can indicate an abscess that needs prompt attention.
Broken teeth, loose restorations, and lost fillings or crowns should also be evaluated quickly. Even when discomfort is mild, exposed tooth structure can be sensitive and vulnerable to further damage. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, handle it only by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us immediately — the best chance of saving it is usually within the first hour.
When you contact our Plantation office, our team will ask a few focused questions to understand your symptoms and help you protect the area until you arrive. Dr. Allen will examine the tooth, take digital images when needed, relieve pain, and explain the most conservative treatment options clearly before care begins.

Focused Evaluation
Dr. Allen examines the area and uses digital X-rays when needed to identify the source of pain or damage.
Immediate Relief
We address pain, swelling, bleeding, or exposed tooth structure and stabilize the problem whenever possible.
Definitive Care Plan
You receive clear options for repairing or protecting the tooth, including any follow-up treatment that may be needed.
Caring for your smile afterward.
Follow the personalized instructions provided after your visit and take medication only as directed. Avoid chewing on the treated area until numbness has fully worn off. If swelling spreads, breathing or swallowing becomes difficult, bleeding remains uncontrolled, or you develop a high fever, seek emergency medical care immediately.
What counts as a dental emergency?+
Severe or persistent pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, signs of infection, and a lost restoration causing pain or sharp edges all warrant a prompt call.
Can you see me the same day?+
We reserve time for urgent problems and offer same-day care whenever availability allows. Call as early as possible so our team can assess your symptoms and arrange the soonest visit.
What should I do if a permanent tooth is knocked out?+
Hold it by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly without scrubbing, then keep it moist in milk or saliva and call us immediately. Treatment within about an hour offers the best chance of saving it.
Should I go to the emergency room for tooth pain?+
A dentist is usually best equipped to treat the source of dental pain. Go to an emergency room or call 911 if swelling affects breathing or swallowing, facial trauma may involve broken bones, bleeding will not stop, or you have other life-threatening symptoms.
What can I do for pain until my appointment?+
Rinse gently with warm salt water, use a cold compress outside the cheek, avoid chewing on the area, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever only if it is normally safe for you. Never place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
