Chipped teeth are a common dental emergency.

Sometimes it is caused by everyday wear and tear, other times it’s a sudden trauma. It can be embarrassing and sometimes very painful, but it’s important to seek emergency dental attention right away.

Your tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. The enamel is the first and most important line of defense against tooth decay and plaque, and it helps protect the tooth from injury. However, we put our teeth through tons of abuse every day by chewing (not to mention bad habits such as chewing on pencils and other objects).

Chipped teeth can be embarrassing, but don’t worry! Contact Emergency Dental Care USA in Pensacola, FL, your local urgent care dentist, as soon as possible so that we can help save your smile and return it to proper function.

Treatment planning provides a roadmap to address your dental needs, and provide you the healthiest smile.

Emergency Dental Care USA in Pensacola, FL is your urgent care dentist. While we focus on providing same-day dental care, we also provide long-term care with treatment planning.

How we make a dental treatment plan

First, we listen to any concerns you may have about your oral health. We then provide a dental exam and x-rays of your mouth. Once we have a clear picture of your current dental health situation, we review your dental treatment history (if available) and discuss any and all of your treatment options. This helps us create a customized treatment plan to fit your individual needs.

If you have a toothache, tooth pain, or discomfort, we will address that immediately. Once that is resolved, we set up future appointments to start addressing other dental concerns according to your preferences and pace.

Most people have wisdom teeth, or third molars. Many, if not most people have trouble keeping them clean or don’t have room in their mouths for their wisdom teeth to completely break through their gums. This can lead to many problems, including cavities, and misaligned teeth.

Though we can’t always see our wisdom teeth, they can cause us acute and unexpected pain due to decay or infection. They may remain fully or partially hidden beneath the gums due to a lack of space in the mouth.

Though they often remain below the gumline, wisdom teeth can partially grow outside your gums, leading to tooth decay. This can cause substantial pain if the decay infects the tooth or if the infection spreads to surrounding areas. If you are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, you should consult an emergency dentist right away. Emergency Dental Care USA in Pensacola, FL can treat any tooth infection you may have and, usually extract the tooth or teeth on the same day.

The first step in addressing a toothache or other dental emergency is a thorough exam and x-rays.

Visible signs such as swelling or a broken tooth may indicate issues with your teeth or gums. Pain in your mouth can range from mild to severe. Consulting a dentist is essential to fully understand what’s happening.

The only way to identify the cause of any dental issues and determine how Emergency Dental Care in Simpsonville, SC can assist you is through an exam and x-rays. Keep in mind that tooth pain may temporarily subside, but until the root cause is addressed by a dentist, the pain is likely to return. Untreated dental problems can quickly escalate into more complex issues, resulting in the need for more extensive and costly treatments, or even tooth loss.

While we specialize in emergency, same-day dentistry, we also value preventive care for long-term dental health. That’s why we recommend regular dental exams at Emergency Dental Care USA (at least twice a year) and x-rays when necessary. Scheduling dental exams every six months is one of the best ways to prevent future dental problems.

Our fees

Emergency Exam and X-ray Evaluation Starting at $99

A limited exam looks at a limited portion of your mouth. We use limited exams when the problem is isolated to one location or problem point.

Comprehensive Dental Exam – $150

Comprehensive exams look at the entire mouth. Instead of taking x-rays of just a problematic area, we take a series of full-mouth x-rays. Comprehensive dental exams can identify current problems, and spot other dental problems before they become more expensive, painful, and problematic.

If you are experiencing tooth or gum pain, a dentist might recommend a tooth extraction .

Emergency Dental Care USA advocates for repairing and saving a tooth whenever possible. This can be done by performing a root canal and placing a crown. However sometimes that’s not possible, and the best course of action is to pull a tooth. If a tooth extraction is needed, our emergency dentists can expertly remove your tooth and keep you comfortable during the process using local anesthetics and attentive care.

If a tooth or teeth need to be removed but aren’t easily reached by the emergency dentist, a surgical extraction may be necessary. Like normal tooth extractions, we make sure to keep you comfortable and send you home with post-operative instructions to help you recover quickly.

Tooth pain can be crippling, and left untreated it can lead to very serious infections.

When you have a toothache or pain around your teeth/gums/jaw, it may be the result of a variety of oral problems. These include dental cavities, cracked or chipped teeth, exposed tooth roots, gum disease, a dental abscess or infection, and several other conditions. Some of these are more urgent and serious than others, but all can cause pain and discomfort. Whether you have a dull, aching tooth pain that lingers, or a sharper, more urgent pain, a toothache merits attention.

Emergency Dental Care USA in Pensacola, FL is your urgent care dentist. We’re here day and night for you when you have a toothache and need assistance. If your tooth pain feels like an emergency – it probably is! Call us or schedule online today to get toothache relief and prevent future dental problems.
