emergency dental care with a Palm Harbor dentist in Trinity FLAt Prestige Dentistry near New Port Richey, we know there’s never a convenient time to have a dental emergency. As your trusted dentists in Palm Harbor and Trinity, Florida, Drs. Pielak and Horwitz are here to provide emergency dental care when you need it.

Whether you’re in Palm Harbor, Trinity, New Port Richey, or surrounding communities, call our office immediately to request an emergency dentistry visit if you have:

  • A severe toothache.
  • A broken or badly damaged tooth.
  • A knocked-out tooth.
  • A crown that falls out.
  • Unusual bleeding from teeth or gums.
  • Something caught between teeth that can’t be removed.

Any of these may require emergency dental care. We do our very best to see patients experiencing a dental emergency the same day.

If your dental emergency extends beyond damage of the teeth or gums, we recommend that you go to the nearest urgent care center or emergency room for assistance. For example, if you suspect a possible fracture of the jaw or have an injury to the tongue or lips which may require stitches, an emergency medical center will be better suited to help you.

Dr Horwitz is the best! I was so pleased with him and his staff. They made room in their schedules and even stayed late for me to have emergency root canal due to the pain I was in. I am beyond grateful for his quick actions to relieve the pain I was in. Dr Horwitz truly shows he cares for his patients. Iv been a patient for 15+ years and I’m proud to show off and say I have a Prestige smile.- Lisa L., Patient

  • Crown or Cap Falls Out
    If your temporary or permanent crown or cap falls out and you still have it, dry your natural tooth, apply a small dab of toothpaste to the temporary and reattach it. You may also use dental wax or temporary adhesive, available at most pharmacies. Please call our office so that we can professionally reattach your crown or cap as soon as possible.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth
    Apply pressure using sterile gauze if you’re bleeding. Avoid touching the root of the tooth. Rinse the tooth gently under water to remove debris. Place the tooth into the socket it fell from and hold it in place until you get to our office. Otherwise, put the tooth into a baggie of milk and bring it to us so that we can determine whether reattachment is possible.
  • Broken Tooth
    A cracked or broken tooth should be rinsed immediately with warm water. Then hold a cold compress against the area of the affected tooth (if it doesn’t cause pain) to reduce swelling while on your way to our office for emergency dental care.
  • Severe Toothache
    Rinse your mouth and the area around the tooth; then floss around the tooth to make sure that debris is not causing the pain. Do not put an aspirin on the tooth because it can damage your gum tissue. Call our office for an emergency dental care appointment if the pain persists because you may need a rroot canal to alleviate the issue.
  • Something Caught Between Teeth
    Use dental floss to gently remove the debris, and be sure that you don’t cut your gums with the floss. Do not use a sharp instrument to dislodge the debris. If floss doesn’t help, call our office for an emergency dentistry appointment.
