You should contact an emergency dentist as soon as possible if you have:


Severe tooth pain that does not go away

Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face

A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth

A knocked-out tooth

A lost filling or crown causing pain

Bleeding that does not stop

Pain when biting or chewing

Signs of infection or abscess


Dental pain is usually a warning sign that something deeper is happening. Waiting can increase the risk of infection, tooth loss, or more complex treatment later.


If you are unsure, call us. We can help you decide the right next step

Not Sure If It’s a Dental Emergency? Start Here

Some dental issues cannot wait several days for treatment. We prioritize urgent dental needs and offer same-day emergency dental appointments when schedule availability allows.



Emergency dental visits are designed to:

Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments When Available

Diagnose the cause of pain

Relieve discomfort

Treat infection or damage

Stabilize broken teeth

Explain your treatment options clearly

Our goal is to help you get out of pain and understand what needs to happen next.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

Knowing what to do before your appointment can make a big difference.

  • If you have a knocked-out tooth

    Keep the tooth moist and avoid touching the root. Place it in milk if available, or hold it gently in the cheek. Call immediately because time matters.

  • If you have severe tooth pain

    Avoid chewing on that side and do not ignore swelling or pressure. Tooth pain can be caused by infection, decay, or damage inside the tooth.

  • If you chipped or broke a tooth

    Save any pieces if possible. Avoid hard foods and schedule an emergency visit to prevent the tooth from worsening.

  • If you have swelling

    Swelling may indicate infection. Dental infections can spread, so this should be evaluated quickly.

  • If you lost a crown or filling

    Avoid chewing on the exposed tooth. Temporary dental cement may help short term, but the tooth still needs professional care.

Emergency Dental Services We Provide

We help patients with urgent dental problems throughout Valparaiso, Crestview, Fort Walton Beach, and Niceville.

  • Same-Day Dental Emergencies

    If you are dealing with sudden pain or damage, we make every effort to evaluate you quickly.


    Common same-day emergency visits include:


    • Toothaches
    • Swelling
    • Broken teeth
    • Lost crowns
    • Dental trauma
    • Infection concerns

  • Tooth Extractions & Oral Surgery

    Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved or is causing infection, pain, or crowding. In those cases, extraction may be the safest option.


    We provide extractions for:


    • Severely damaged teeth
    • Infected teeth
    • Problem wisdom teeth
    • Teeth that cannot be restored

    Our team explains the process, comfort options, and aftercare before treatment begins.


  • Root Canal Therapy for Tooth Infections

    A root canal may be recommended when infection or inflammation reaches the inside of the tooth.


    Signs you may need a root canal include:


    • Severe tooth pain
    • Lingering sensitivity
    • Swelling near the tooth
    • Pain when biting
    • Darkening of the tooth

    A root canal can often save the natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

  • Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth

    Broken teeth and dental trauma should be treated quickly. Even if the tooth does not hurt right away, cracks can expose deeper layers and lead to infection.


    We treat:


    • Chipped teeth
    • Cracked teeth
    • Broken teeth
    • Knocked-out teeth
    • Injury-related dental trauma

  • Dental Implants After Tooth Loss

    If a tooth needs to be removed or has already been lost, we can discuss long-term replacement options such as dental implants.


    Dental implants help restore:


    • Chewing ability
    • Smile appearance
    • Tooth stability
    • Long-term function

    This allows emergency care to connect with a long-term plan instead of only a temporary fix.

Emergency dental costs depend on the problem and the treatment needed. A simple emergency exam will cost less than a root canal, extraction, or restoration.



Common factors that affect cost include:

How Much Does Emergency Dental Care Cost?

Whether X-rays are needed

Severity of pain or infection

Type of treatment required

Whether the tooth can be saved

Insurance coverage

We explain your options before treatment so you know what to expect.


The first goal is to diagnose the problem, relieve pain, and create a clear plan.

Will Insurance Cover Emergency Dental Treatment?

Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency exams, X-rays, extractions, fillings, root canals, and other medically necessary dental treatment. Coverage depends on your plan, deductible, and benefits.



Our office accepts insurance and can help you understand what may be covered before treatment begins.

Waiting too long can make a dental emergency worse.


Delaying care may lead to:


Increased pain

Spread of infection

More expensive treatment

Tooth loss

Need for more complex restoration later


Early treatment can often make the difference between saving a tooth and needing extraction.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs

  • What qualifies as a dental emergency?

    A dental emergency usually includes severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, a broken tooth, knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or dental trauma that needs immediate attention.


  • Can I wait to see if tooth pain goes away?

    You should not ignore tooth pain that is severe, recurring, or paired with swelling. Pain often means infection, decay, or nerve involvement that may worsen without treatment.

  • Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

    Yes, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments when availability allows. Calling early gives us the best chance to schedule you quickly.

  • What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

    Keep the tooth moist, avoid touching the root, and call immediately. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when treated quickly.

  • Will I need a root canal or extraction?

    That depends on the condition of the tooth. Some infected teeth can be saved with root canal therapy, while severely damaged teeth may require extraction.

  • Can a broken tooth be fixed the same day?

    In many cases, a broken tooth can be stabilized or repaired quickly, depending on the severity of the damage and whether infection is present.

  • Does dental insurance cover emergencies?

    Many insurance plans cover part of emergency exams, X-rays, extractions, fillings, and root canals. Coverage depends on your plan.
