Lake Park dental problems that need a prompt call
Call soon if you have tooth pain that lingers, an adult tooth that was knocked out, a cracked or broken tooth, swelling of the gum or face, or a crown that came off. Fill us in on what happened, when it began, and whether it is getting better or worse. We will look for the earliest time and let you know if your problem needs a different kind of care altogether.
Severe injuries to the face, bleeding that continues no matter what you do, or swelling that makes breathing or swallowing a struggle belong in a hospital emergency department. Go there first, without waiting on a dentist.
When the problem is with a tooth, call 561.625.1991 and we will help you figure out what to do.
Emergency dental care close to Lake Park
Lake Park is a small town on the Lake Worth Lagoon, first laid out in the 1920s as Kelsey City. Its northern boundary follows Northlake Boulevard, and our office is on that same boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, at number 4274. We are not located inside Lake Park, so please call before you leave, especially for swelling or a knocked out tooth, and we will tell you the soonest time and what to do on the way.

Rudnick Dentistry is at 4274 Northlake Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410. Whether we can treat you the same day depends on availability, and a call tells you quickly.
How we can help Lake Park patients in an emergency
We start by working out what is causing the problem. Dr. Rudnick then recommends care suited to the tooth, your symptoms, and what can be completed safely before you leave.

Ease the pain, then map the next steps
Our office lists same day crowns, bonding, fillings, and extractions among its possible emergency treatments. Complicated problems may need to be stabilized at once, followed by a plan for further care.
Same day crowns
For the right tooth, our CEREC system lets a new crown be made and fitted during one visit.
Bonding and fillings
Many chips, small fractures, cavities, and broken fillings can be repaired with tooth colored materials once we have examined the tooth.
Loose restorations
If a crown, filling, or bridge is wobbly or missing, we check the tooth underneath, keep it protected, and repair or replace the restoration whenever possible.
Extraction and follow up
For a tooth that cannot be kept, Dr. Rudnick covers what extraction involves and how the gap might be replaced later. Your exam results shape the plan.
Steps to take during a dental emergency
Call us and describe the problem. Gently gather any tooth or restoration that has come out and carry it in with you. Keep following our directions until you are examined.
A knocked out adult tooth needs fast action. Grip it by the crown rather than the root and call right away. Our practice’s emergency guide explains that getting a knocked out tooth into dental care inside the first hour may improve the odds of keeping it.
Share what is happening
Note whether it throbs, swells, bleeds, or looks cracked, and when you first noticed it.
Take care of the tooth
Do not chew on the sore side, and tuck any tooth or dental work that came out into a small container for the visit.
Get to the right place
Ask when we can fit you in. Seek emergency medical care for severe trauma, nonstop bleeding, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
What an emergency visit with us may involve
Our office in Palm Beach Gardens has digital X rays, 3D imaging used for selected cases, and same day restorative technology. You will understand the problem and your options before we treat anything.
Careful exam
Dr. Rudnick checks the tooth that hurts and, if needed, takes images to see what is behind it.
Options in plain terms
We explain what can be finished at this appointment and what may need another visit.
Comfort and next steps
Ask about comfort options and how to care for the tooth after your urgent visit.
Cutting down the risk of another emergency
Wearing a mouthguard for sports, leaving ice cubes and popcorn kernels alone, and keeping teeth away from bottle caps and packaging all help prevent accidental breaks. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups help uncover problems before they become emergencies.
Take early warning signs seriously
A tooth that aches off and on, a filling with a rough or missing edge, or a fine crack is easier to deal with early, so let us know about it.

Lake Park emergency dentistry FAQs
Which dental problems are emergencies?
Think about pain that is severe or will not quit, a tooth knocked out, a break you can see, swelling, or a crown or filling that is gone. Any of these can need a dentist soon, so give us a call.
When is the hospital the right call?
Use a hospital emergency department for a serious facial injury, bleeding you cannot control, or swelling that is interfering with how you breathe or swallow.
Do you offer same day appointments?
Yes, when they are available. Call 561.625.1991, describe your symptoms, and ask about the earliest opening.
What do I do with a knocked out adult tooth?
Pick it up by the chewing end, leave the root untouched, and phone us immediately. Keeping the tooth moist while you arrange care helps. Our emergency guide stresses acting within that first hour.

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.
