Pain relief comes first

Overview
Relief first, then a plan
A dental emergency can be painful and frightening, and it rarely comes at a convenient time. We offer same-day emergency appointments in Ormond Beach, so you don't have to wait in pain any longer than necessary.
Our first goal is to relieve your pain and discomfort as quickly and effectively as we can. Once you're comfortable, Dr. Huda Aljonaidy will explain what she found and work with you on a plan to correct the underlying problem.
Many common emergencies can be treated the same day, including swollen or infected gums, abscessed teeth, chipped teeth, lost fillings and damaged crowns, bridges or dentures. Depending on your case, a new crown or bridge may even be made in our in-house lab on the same day.

First aid
What to do until you see us
These first-aid tips can help ease pain and protect your teeth until your visit. They don't replace an exam, so call us as soon as you can.
Toothache
- Rinse your mouth well with warm water.
- Gently floss to remove any trapped food.
- If your mouth is swollen, hold a cold compress to the outside of your cheek.
- See a dentist as soon as possible.
Tooth pain often points to a problem with the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. Depending on the cause, treatment may be a filling, a root canal or an extraction.
Loose or partly dislodged tooth
- See a dentist right away.
- Until then, hold a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek over the area to ease pain.
- If needed, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil, following the label directions.
Lost crown
- Call us for an appointment as soon as you can, and bring the crown with you.
- If you can't get to us right away, you may be able to slip the crown back over the tooth.
- First, coat the inside of the crown with over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste or denture adhesive to help hold it in place.
- Never use super glue.
Abscess
- See a dentist as soon as possible, especially if you notice a painful, pimple-like swelling on your gum.
- Until your visit, rinse several times a day with mild salt water (1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 8 ounces of water) to ease pain and help draw pus to the surface.
An abscess is an infection around the root of a tooth or between the tooth and gum. Without treatment, it can damage tissue and nearby teeth and spread to other parts of the body.
Chipped or broken tooth
- Save any broken pieces.
- Rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water.
- If there's bleeding, press gauze on the area for about 10 minutes or until it stops.
- Hold a cold compress to the outside of your mouth, cheek or lip near the tooth to reduce swelling and pain.
- See a dentist as soon as possible.
Lost filling
- As a temporary fix, press a piece of sugarless gum into the cavity. Sugared gum can cause pain.
- Or use over-the-counter dental cement instead.
- See a dentist as soon as possible.
Broken braces wire
- If a wire breaks or sticks out and pokes your cheek, tongue or gum, use the eraser end of a pencil to gently push it into a more comfortable position.
- If you can't move it, cover the end with orthodontic wax, a small cotton ball or gauze until you can get to your orthodontist.
- Never cut the wire, because it could be swallowed or inhaled.
- See a dentist as soon as possible.
Injury to the gums, lips, cheeks or tongue
- Rinse your mouth with mild salt water.
- Press a moistened piece of gauze or a tea bag on the bleeding area and hold it there for 15 to 20 minutes.
- To help with bleeding and pain, hold a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek for 5 to 10 minutes.
- If the bleeding doesn't stop, see a dentist right away or go to a hospital emergency room. Keep pressing with gauze until you're seen.
Knocked-out tooth
- Pick up the tooth by the crown, the part you normally see in your mouth.
- If it's dirty, rinse the root with water. Don't scrub it or remove any attached tissue.
- If you can, gently place the tooth back in its socket, facing the right way. Never force it.
- If you can't, keep it in a small container of milk, in water with a pinch of table salt if you don't have milk, or in a tooth-preservation product such as Save-a-Tooth.
- See a dentist as quickly as possible.
The best chance of saving the tooth is to see a dentist and have it returned to its socket within an hour.
Loose bracket or band
- Reattach a loose bracket temporarily with a small piece of orthodontic wax, or place wax over it as a cushion.
- If a band comes loose, save it and call your orthodontist to have it re-cemented or replaced, along with any missing spacers.
- See your orthodontist as soon as possible.
Wisdom tooth pain
- See a dentist as soon as possible. Removing the tooth is often the best treatment.
- Until your visit, rinse with salt water, use a cold pack, take an over-the-counter pain reliever and avoid hard or crunchy foods.
Wisdom teeth that come in straight with healthy gums don't have to be removed. When they're impacted, grow in sideways or only partly come through, the gum around them can become inflamed (pericoronitis), trapping bacteria and causing infection and swelling.

FAQ
Questions about Emergency dental care
Still wondering about something? Call us at (386) 947-7603 or send us a message, and we'll be glad to help.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling or infection, a broken, loose or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, and injuries to your gums, lips or cheeks are all good reasons to call. If you're not sure, call us anyway. We can give you quick tips over the phone and help you find an appointment.
Can I be seen the same day, even on a weekend?
We offer same-day emergency appointments and are often able to see you the day you call. On Saturdays and Sundays, emergency visits are available by appointment from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Call (386) 947-7603 to arrange your visit.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
The emergency exam fee is $125 on weekdays and $250 on weekends, plus the cost of any treatment you need. Treatment costs depend on the problem and how much damage there is. We accept most PPO dental plans and CareCredit, and we'll go over costs and payment options with you before treatment.
Will emergency treatment hurt?
Relieving your pain is our first priority. Dr. Huda works quickly to make you comfortable, and the area is numbed before any treatment that needs it. We'll explain each step so you know what to expect.
Will my problem be fixed in one visit?
Treatment often begins right away, and depending on your case, a crown or bridge may be made in our in-house lab on the same day. Some problems take more than one visit to fully restore. Dr. Huda will explain your plan and timeline before you start.
When should I go to the emergency room instead?
If you have severe pain and can't reach us or another dentist, go to the nearest emergency room. Go right away as well if bleeding from a mouth injury won't stop, or if swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow.
