Dr. Natalia <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">takes the time to understand each patient\u2019s unique circumstances and needs and to craft a treatment plan that meets your goals. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is a Dental Emergency?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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\u2019s \u201cstay at home\u201d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the most common emergency situations that we deal with include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Broken or dislodged teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cracked or broken crowns, filings, bridges<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe toothaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abscessed teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Objects lodged between teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Restorative, Cosmetic Solutions after an Emergency<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a wide range of restorative dentistry options for anyone recovering from an emergency situation.
