Severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth can't wait. Atlantic Family Dentistry sees emergency patients in New Smyrna Beach as quickly as possible, often the same day. New and existing patients are welcome.
In most cases, yes. Call us as early in the day as you can, and we will fit you into the schedule. We keep time open for urgent problems, so you don't need to be an existing patient.
We work by phone rather than walk-in. Calling first lets us tell you how soon we can see you and what to do on the way. It also means you won't sit in a waiting room while you're in pain.
Most dental emergencies start as pain, not injury. A toothache can mean a cavity has reached the nerve, a tooth has cracked, or an infection (abscess) has formed. We find the cause and treat it, which may mean a filling, root canal therapy, or antibiotics when needed. Treating an infection early keeps it from spreading and can save the tooth.
When infection or damage reaches the nerve inside a tooth, a root canal removes the source of pain and preserves the tooth. In many cases, we can relieve the pain on the day you come in.
Some teeth are too damaged or infected to save. When that's the case, we can remove the tooth to stop the pain and infection, and then talk with you about replacement options, such as an implant or a bridge.
From a small chip to a tooth split by a hard bite, we repair the damage and protect what's left. For larger breaks, a same-day crown can restore the tooth in a single visit.
A knocked-out adult tooth has the best chance of being saved if you see a dentist within about an hour. Call us right away and follow the steps below on your way in.
A missing crown or filling leaves the tooth exposed and sensitive. We can recement your crown if it's intact, or replace the restoration.
We treat minor soft-tissue injuries from sports, falls, and accidents. For deep cuts or bleeding that won't stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure, go to the emergency room.
Jaw pain can come from an infected tooth, clenching or grinding, or a problem with the jaw joint. We examine you to find the source. If you think your jaw may be broken or dislocated, we recommend going to the emergency room first.
As a family practice, we see children for dental emergencies too, including knocked-out baby teeth, chipped teeth, and toothaches. Don't try to put a knocked-out baby tooth back in; just bring your child in.
Call us right away if you have any of these:
If you aren't sure, call anyway. We can tell you over the phone whether you need to come in today.
These steps can ease pain and protect your tooth until your visit.
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have:
For everything else, call a dentist first. Hospital emergency rooms can help with pain and infection, but most can't repair or save a tooth. That usually means a second visit to a dentist anyway.
A dental emergency is stressful enough without worrying about the treatment itself. Our team focuses on getting you out of pain first and explaining every step before we start. When appropriate, sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious.
When you're in pain, it helps to know who's treating you. Our dentists bring 30 years of experience, advanced sedation training, and deep roots in the New Smyrna Beach community.
Dr. Mitchell has practiced dentistry since 1996, and that experience shows when you come in with a broken tooth or a throbbing ache.
