Trust the experts at preventing, treating dental emergencies
Dental Care of Boca Raton proudly offers comprehensive dental services and instills peace of mind. We do this with proactive care to prevent the “worst” dental trauma and conditions, as well as truly responsive emergency care from dentists available seven days a week to manage injuries and diseases that cannot be prevented.
What should I do about a painful tooth?
Toothaches are a common motivator for individuals to seek care from an emergency dentist or even a local hospital emergency room in the Boca Raton, Florida area (when the pain is intense enough to warrant such a visit). It’s important to know that pain or discomfort is never normal. It’s always a sign that something is “off.” The source of that pain or discomfort can vary considerably from person to person. We must identify what is causing your pain and other symptoms. In doing so, we provide more than temporary pain relief. We want to get you back to feeling like yourself again, to eating without pain and sleeping through the night without waking from an aching tooth.
What are the benefits of emergency dentist care?
Hospital ERs are not equipped to provide specialized dentistry services. As highly qualified dental professionals, we offer comprehensive services and expertise to relieve pain, swelling, and other symptoms in the short term while providing appropriate treatment to resolve the underlying cause of the pain and symptoms. Our treatments support your long-term oral health and wellness.

Are there ever situations that require immediate medical attention?
Yes. Some conditions that originate in the mouth are associated with serious and even life-threatening complications. They demand immediate care at the ER. To save time and get the appropriate care that you need right away, go to the hospital for:
- Facial and neck swelling that interferes with your ability to breathe or swallow
- Signs of serious/systemic infections or abscesses, such as a high fever, confusion, and excruciating pain that cannot be managed with medications
- Excessive and persistent bleeding that cannot be controlled with gauze and other measures, especially following surgical procedures
- Severe trauma to the face, such as a suspected dislocated jaw, deep cuts (requiring stitches), and broken facial bones
Can dental emergencies be prevented?
Absolutely! Many oral problems that cause tooth pain and other alarming symptoms can be avoided entirely by getting on a regular dental check-up schedule. These check-ups include comprehensive exams and professional cleanings (to remove what standard toothbrushes can’t). These steps prevent or reduce the risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease, the primary causes of tooth pain and tooth loss. During check-ups, Dental Care of Boca Raton dentists may also recommend preventive services to minimize the risk of injuries or trauma that require emergency care. Take, for instance, injuries to the face caused by blows during sports. Since we have gotten to know you, we can discuss mouthguards and other ways to prevent injuries and damage. Every effort is made to manage and avoid the “controllable.”
If you are experiencing pain or are concerned about any other changes in your mouth, contact our team in Boca Raton, FL, right away. The pain won’t go away until the underlying cause is treated. When you call (561) 556-6275, we may ask you some questions to help pinpoint the cause, which informs the most effective and prompt treatment plans. We can also discuss ways to relieve your pain immediately. Depending on what we find during consultation and evaluation, treatment could range from replacing a lost dental restoration to restoring or removing a badly decayed, broken, or infected tooth.
