Signs an Avenir patient should call us promptly
Pain that keeps coming back or will not settle, a tooth knocked out of its socket, a crack or break you can see or feel, swelling in the gums or face, and a crown that has come loose all deserve a quick look. On the phone, let us know what happened, how long ago it started, and whether it is getting worse. We will talk through the soonest opening and whether your situation calls for a different kind of care.
Go straight to a hospital emergency department for a serious injury to the face, bleeding you cannot stop, or swelling that is making it hard to breathe or swallow. Those situations should not wait for a dental chair.
For anything dental, phone 561.625.1991 and we will help you sort out the next move.
Urgent dental visits for Avenir residents
Avenir is a planned community in western Palm Beach Gardens, north of Northlake Boulevard and west of the Florida Turnpike. Our office sits farther east on that same road, at number 4274. Give us a call before you leave the neighborhood so we can confirm a time and tell you how to protect the tooth in the meantime.

Heading over from Avenir
Once a time is set, the trip is a matter of taking Northlake Boulevard east to the office. If an adult tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root, and call us right away. Breathing or swallowing trouble, or bleeding that keeps going, means a hospital visit instead.
Avenir community news and events ↗
You will find us at 4274 Northlake Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410. Whether we can see you the same day depends on the schedule, so a phone call is the quickest way to learn when you can come in.
How we handle urgent problems for Avenir patients
First we find out what is causing the trouble. Then Dr. Rudnick recommends treatment based on the tooth, your symptoms, and what can safely be finished at that appointment.

Comfort today, a clear plan for later
Same day crowns, bonding, fillings, and extractions are among the emergency treatments our office provides. A more involved problem may be stabilized first, with a plan for the visits that follow.
Same day crowns
When it suits the tooth, we use CEREC technology to design and seat a crown at a single appointment.
Bonding and fillings
After an exam, tooth colored materials can often fix a chip, a broken filling, a cavity, or other minor damage.
Loose restorations
A crown, bridge, or filling that has worked loose should be checked so the tooth underneath stays protected and the restoration can be repaired or replaced when possible.
Extraction and follow up
If a tooth cannot be saved, Dr. Rudnick will talk with you about removing it and about ways to replace it down the road. Everything depends on what the exam shows.
What to do while you wait to be seen
Start by calling us and describing the problem. If a tooth or a piece of dental work came out, pick it up gently and bring it along. Follow our instructions until we can take a look.
A knocked out adult tooth is a race against the clock. Touch only the crown, never the root, and call quickly. Our emergency guide notes that a tooth may have a better chance of being saved when dental care begins within the first hour.
Tell us what you notice
Mention any pain, swelling, bleeding, or crack you can see, and roughly when it began.
Guard the tooth
Chew on the other side and keep any tooth, crown, or fragment somewhere safe until your appointment.
Choose the right door
Ask when we can see you. For severe trauma, bleeding that will not stop, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
What happens at an urgent appointment
Our Palm Beach Gardens office has digital X rays, 3D imaging for selected cases, and technology for same day restorations. We look at the problem and go over your options with you before any treatment begins.
A close look
Dr. Rudnick examines the sore or damaged area and may take images to see what is behind it.
Straight answers
Learn what can be taken care of today and whether more treatment will be needed later.
Comfort and aftercare
Talk about ways to stay comfortable and how to look after the tooth once you are home.
Simple habits that help prevent dental emergencies
Wearing a mouthguard for sports, skipping ice and other hard things to chew, and never using your teeth to open packages all cut down on accidental damage. Daily brushing and flossing plus regular checkups help catch trouble before it turns urgent.
Pay attention to early warnings
A toothache that keeps returning, a filling that feels rough or broken, or a small crack should not be brushed aside. Call us while the problem is still easier to manage.

Emergency dental questions from Avenir
How do I know if it counts as a dental emergency?
Strong or lingering tooth pain, a tooth knocked out, damage you can see, swelling, or a lost crown or filling may all need a prompt look. Call and describe what is happening.
When is a hospital the better choice?
Head to a hospital emergency department for severe trauma, bleeding that will not stop, or swelling that interferes with breathing or swallowing.
Could I be seen today?
We offer same day appointments when they are available. Call 561.625.1991, tell us your symptoms, and ask about the first opening.
An adult tooth was knocked out. What now?
Hold it by the crown, keep your fingers off the root, and call right away. Keep the tooth moist if you can while you arrange care. Our emergency guide stresses how much the first hour matters.
Is there an emergency dentist inside Avenir?
No. Avenir is part of Palm Beach Gardens, and our office is at 4274 Northlake Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410. Call 561.625.1991 before you head east so we can confirm the earliest time.

Important treatment considerations
A knocked-out permanent tooth needs prompt care
Handle an adult tooth by its crown, avoid touching the root, and keep it moist while arranging immediate dental care. If it cannot be put back safely, milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation product can help keep it moist.
