Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or save a tooth is considered a dental emergency. This includes severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, loose or lost fillings, and abscesses. If you're uncertain whether your situation is an emergency, call Pine Avenue Smiles for guidance.
Can I get emergency dental care in Oldsmar, FL?
Absolutely! Pine Avenue Smiles in Oldsmar, FL, offers same-day emergency appointments to address your urgent dental needs. We are equipped to handle various dental emergencies promptly and efficiently.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Time is critical in saving a knocked-out tooth. Pick the tooth up by the crown (top part), rinse it without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk and call us immediately for a same-day emergency appointment.

Will waiting to treat a dental emergency make it worse?
Yes, delaying treatment for a dental emergency can lead to increased pain, a higher risk of infection, and the need for more complex and expensive treatment later on. Contact Pine Avenue Smiles immediately for prompt, professional care.
Does Pine Avenue Smiles offer pain relief for dental emergencies?
Yes, providing relief from pain and discomfort is a primary concern during any dental emergency. We utilize various methods to ensure your comfort during emergency treatment.
What can I do to manage pain before I get to the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort, and applying a cold compress can reduce swelling. Remember, these are temporary measures until our emergency dental care team can see you.
Is bleeding from the gums a dental emergency?
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease and should be evaluated by a dentist, especially if it's severe or doesn't stop. Call us for an urgent consultation.
