Emergency Dentistry in Boynton Beach, FL
Fast, Skilled Relief for Urgent Dental Needs
Dental emergencies can strike without warning, and when they do, prompt attention is critical to relieve pain, restore function, and avoid further complications. At South Palm Dental, we offer same-day emergency dentistry services for patients across Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, and Boca Raton—delivering calm, compassionate care for urgent issues like broken teeth, swelling, or sudden discomfort when every moment matters.
When to See an Emergency Dentist
If you’re in pain or experiencing trauma to your teeth or gums, it’s important not to delay care. Dental emergencies don’t always announce themselves with dramatic symptoms—some begin with subtle but persistent discomfort that quickly escalates.
We treat a wide range of urgent dental issues, including:
- Severe toothaches or swelling
- Knocked-out or dislodged teeth
- Cracked, broken, or fractured teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Dental abscesses or infections
- Bleeding that won’t stop
- Injuries from accidents or sports
If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, call our office. Our team can assess your symptoms and guide you to the right solution quickly.
Our Emergency Dental Care Process
Prompt attention during a dental emergency can prevent further damage and often saves a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Here’s what to expect when you contact our office for emergency dentistry:
Step 1: Immediate Triage
We evaluate your condition over the phone to determine the severity and provide instructions to manage symptoms until you arrive.
Step 2: Urgent Appointment
We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day. Once you’re in the chair, we assess the issue using diagnostics such as digital X-rays.
Step 3: On-the-Spot Treatment
Depending on the problem, we may perform a temporary or permanent repair during your visit, or plan follow-up care for complex procedures.
Step 4: Long-Term Care Plan
We’ll address pain and stabilize your oral health, then walk you through the next steps for full recovery, whether that involves a root canal, crown, or other restorative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving sudden pain, trauma, infection, or bleeding that interferes with eating, speaking, or daily life may be a dental emergency.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently (don’t scrub), place it in a glass of milk, and call us immediately. Fast action increases the chances of saving the tooth.
Can you help with a cracked tooth?
Yes. Cracked teeth should be treated right away to prevent infection or further damage. We offer a range of restorative options, including bonding, crowns, or root canal therapy if needed.
What if my crown or filling falls out?
Bring the restoration with you if possible. We can usually re-cement or replace it during your visit.
Is emergency dentistry covered by insurance?
Most dental plans provide coverage for urgent procedures. We’ll verify your benefits and provide a clear explanation of your options before beginning treatment.
Do I need an appointment for emergency dental care?
While we welcome walk-ins for true emergencies, calling ahead allows us to prepare and minimize your wait time.
