They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe tooth pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Broken or cracked teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abscessed or infected teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Objects lodged in teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trauma involving facial bones<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Post-surgery emergencies\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Otherwise, use over-the-counter pain medication and ice to relieve pain and swelling. In the meantime, contact an emergency dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Contact Pearl White for Emergency Dental Work<\/b><b style=\"font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need emergency dental work in South Florida, Fort Lauderdale emergency dentist Natalia Benda-Celenski and her team at Pearl White Dentistry can help.
