Love this place. All the dentist and hygienists are great the office staff is super friendly and so helpful. They always are able to work me in when we have an emergency. They are upfront with prices so there is no guessing game on how much I owe.

If you have a dental emergency that you feel is serious and it is outside of our normal hours, we recommend that you proceed immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room. The emergency room can usually stabilize the situation or provide pain relief until you can contact our office.

At Bright Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we are a full-service emergency dentist who can treat most dental emergencies, evaluate your condition, and provide any needed referral. Dental emergencies we treat include:

  • dental pain and swelling
  • damage to teeth due to trauma, grinding or biting on hard objects
  • loss or damage to fillings, crowns, and other restorative devices
  • loose teeth or restorations.
If you need assistance, please feel free to give us a call or visit our office today! We are proud to see patients throughout Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Mary Esther, Niceville, Navarre, and Crestview, FL.

Guidance on Common Dental Emergencies

I. Dental Pain and Swelling

If you are experiencing pain, it is essential to contact our office immediately. Dental pain indicates a condition that needs to be treated and will worsen without treatment in nearly all cases. Untreated dental conditions can also have serious consequences to your general health.

II. Tooth Knocked Out by Impact (Avulsed tooth) 

1. If a tooth has been knocked completely out of the mouth, it is essential to see our office immediately. This condition damages tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. If the tooth can be placed back into its socket quickly enough there is a chance the tooth may be saved.

2. Some Steps to Take:

  • Call our office immediately
  • Pick up the tooth or crown and rinse it under warm water. Do not touch the root of the tooth.
  • If possible, place it back into its socket – if you cannot replace it then place it in your cheek pouch until you can be seen in a dental office.
  • If the tooth cannot be placed in the mouth, keep it moist by placing into a cup of milk, water, or saliva to keep the tooth from drying out.
  • We will try to replace the tooth in its natural socket if this is possible or we may recommend root canal therapy and a restoration.
