As always, it remains vitally important that anyone experiencing a dental emergency act swiftly to get the appropriate treatment.<\/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\"> and her team at Pearl White Dentistry have been helping people throughout South Florida address a wide range of emergencies for more than a decade. Our offices are currently open for emergencies and some other services for new and existing patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Pearl White, we also help people restore and improve their smiles after emergency situations. We take the time to understand each individual patient\u2019s needs and to craft treatment options designed to meet their unique situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dental Emergencies During the Pandemic<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is important to understand during a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dental emergency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that time is of the essence. Remaining calm and taking basic steps to address the emergency may be the difference in saving your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the most common emergencies we see at Pearl White Dentistry include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Broken or dislodged teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cracked or broken crowns, fillings, bridges, and other dental work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe toothaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abscessed teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><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\">The proper response depends on the nature of the emergency. You should go directly to an emergency room if you are not able to slow the flow of any blood coming from your mouth within 10 minutes of applying constant pressure. You should also head immediately to the ER if you believe that you have a broken jaw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In other situations that do not require an ER visit, it is important to contact an emergency dentist as soon as possible. You should also take over-the-counter medication to address pain and use ice to keep swelling down.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Restorative Services After an Emergency\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After an emergency, we offer a number of treatment services to correct broken, cracked and stained teeth as well as a wide range of other dental conditions.
