Severe toothache
Sharp, throbbing, or constant tooth pain can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It may point to deep decay, an infection, or irritation inside the tooth.
- 01
Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- 02
Floss around the tooth to remove anything trapped.
- 03
Hold a cold pack against your cheek for 20 minutes at a time.
- 04
If safe for you, use an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Never place aspirin directly on your gums.
We’ll examine the tooth and use digital x-rays when needed to find the source of your pain. Treatment may include a filling, root canal, or extraction depending on what’s causing it, with the goal of relieving your pain and protecting your oral health.
Knocked-out tooth
An adult tooth has been completely knocked out of its socket after a fall, hit, or other injury. Acting quickly can improve the chance of saving the tooth.
- 01
Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root.
- 02
If it is dirty, gently rinse it with water. Do not scrub it.
- 03
If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it.
- 04
If you cannot replace it, keep it moist in milk and call us immediately.
Time matters with a knocked-out tooth. We’ll examine the area and determine whether the tooth can be repositioned and stabilized. If it cannot be saved, we’ll discuss your options for replacing it and restoring your smile.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A tooth may feel sharp, sensitive, painful when you bite, or look visibly chipped or broken. Even a crack that seems small can extend deeper than you can see.
- 01
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
- 02
Save any broken pieces of the tooth if you can find them.
- 03
Use a cold pack on your cheek if there is swelling.
- 04
Avoid chewing on that side until we can examine the tooth.
We’ll check how far the damage extends and whether the nerve is involved. Depending on the tooth, treatment may include bonding, a filling, crown, root canal, or another restorative option.
Swelling or Abscess
Swelling, a tender bump on the gums, persistent tooth pain, or a bad taste in your mouth can be signs of a dental infection that should not be ignored.
- 01
Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- 02
Use a cold pack against your cheek to help with swelling.
- 03
Do not squeeze, pop, or drain the swollen area yourself.
- 04
Call us promptly. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
We’ll locate the source of the infection and determine how far it has spread. Treatment may involve draining the infection, root canal therapy, extraction, or other care based on what we find.
Lost Filling or Crown
A filling or crown can loosen or come out while eating, leaving the tooth exposed or sensitive. Even without pain, the tooth underneath can be vulnerable to further damage.
- 01
Rinse your mouth gently and keep the area clean.
- 02
If a crown came off, save it and bring it with you.
- 03
Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on that side.
- 04
Do not use household glue to put a crown back in place.
We’ll examine the exposed tooth and check for decay or damage. When possible, we may be able to reattach the crown. Otherwise, we’ll repair or replace the restoration to protect the tooth again.
Cut Lip, Gum, or Tongue
A bite, fall, or injury can cause bleeding from the lips, gums, tongue, or other soft tissue inside your mouth. Many minor cuts heal well once the bleeding is controlled.
- 01
Rinse gently with clean water to see where the injury is.
- 02
Apply firm pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding.
- 03
Use a cold pack outside the mouth to help with swelling.
- 04
If bleeding will not stop with pressure or the injury is severe, seek emergency medical care.
Once urgent medical concerns are ruled out, we can check your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues for dental damage caused by the injury and treat anything that needs attention.

We have moved recently and needed a new dentist. This is actually a happy place. The female staff is outstanding. All the equipment is first class up to date. I couldn’t have asked for a better introductory experience. Our next appointment is already set. Would definitely recommend.
I personally have a pretty deep seated fear of dentistry. The entire team at Pearl goes above and beyond to make you feel secure and comfortable without fear. I am thrilled to have found them!
Dr. Civetti is a wonderful dentist! She is warm, professional, and gentle. Her staff is also fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Civetti and everyone at her practice.
Dr. Civetti and her entire staff make a trip to the dentist pleasant! They are kind, caring and compassionate! They are all professional and she has state of the art equipment that make your experience painless!
Was my first time here, and it was a fantastic dental experience. Dr. Civetti and her assistant Kelly are amazing. Dr. Civetti is not rushed, and takes time to explain everything. And she has a focus on overall health beyond the teeth and gums. I was also impressed with the investment she has made in the latest dental technologies.
Wonderful office. Dr. Civetti and staff treat you so warmly—just like family every-time. I have been going to this office for years and am always happy. Professional, competent, and caring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I see an emergency dentist?
How quickly you can be seen depends on the urgency of your dental problem and the care needed. Our team can learn what is happening and determine how soon we may be able to help. Clear details about your pain, swelling, or injury help us understand the situation.
My tooth got knocked out. What do I do right now?
A knocked-out tooth needs prompt attention, and acting quickly may improve the chance of saving it. Handle it by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline, then keep it in milk while seeking care. Get emergency medical help for serious injuries or trouble breathing.
My toothache went away on its own. Do I still need to see a dentist?
Yes, you should have the tooth evaluated even if the pain has stopped. Decay, infection, or damage can remain after symptoms improve. An exam is especially important if the pain was severe or persistent, or came with swelling or other symptoms. Pain fading alone cannot confirm the problem has resolved.
How do I manage tooth pain and swelling at home before my appointment?
For temporary relief, rinse gently with warm salt water and use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Home care does not replace an exam. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly worsening facial swelling, needs immediate medical attention. If symptoms worsen or you have concerns, contact our team.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
The cost of an emergency dental visit varies based on what we find during the evaluation and what treatment may be needed. Once our team understands your symptoms and examines the area, we can give you more specific information about the care recommended.
Don’t Wait for Dental Pain to Get Worse
Dental problems can become harder to manage when care is delayed. Call Pearl Palm Beach Dental now and tell us what’s happening. Our team can learn more about your concern and determine the earliest available appointment.
