How quickly you act in an emergency can have serious consequences, including whether you can save teeth and avoid long-term jaw and other damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Florida emergency dentist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has helped people in the Sunshine State address emergencies and brighten their smiles for two decades.

If the blood doesn\u2019t slow during that time &#8211; or if you believe that you have a broken jaw &#8211; you should go straight to an emergency room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For situations that do 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 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/about-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">emergency dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Emergency Dental Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pearl White is open to help patients with emergencies and other dental needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
