FAQs about
jacksonville emergency dentistry
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Toothaches, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings, and oral injuries all count. When in doubt, give us a call.
Should I go to the ER?
Hospitals can’t treat dental issues directly. They’ll refer you to a dentist after charging a large co-pay. Call us first unless it’s life-threatening.
How quickly can I be seen?
We leave room in our schedule every day for dental emergencies and will do everything we can to see you the same day.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Gently rinse the tooth, avoid touching the root, and try placing it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately.
What if I lose a crown or filling?
Save the crown or filling if you can, and call us for an appointment. We’ll restore and protect the tooth ASAP.
