YOUR VISIT AT A GLANCE
Planning Your Emergency Dental Visit
An examination helps identify the cause of tooth pain or damage and the available treatment options. Call before coming in so we can check the earliest available appointment.
Care with Dr. Andrew Rudnick
Dr. Andrew Rudnick earned his DMD at the University of Pennsylvania and has been in private practice since 1996. He is an LVI Fellow with cosmetic and restorative training.
What to expect
Describe your symptoms and health history. Dr. Rudnick examines the area and explains the findings, treatment choices, timing, and estimated costs before you decide.
What affects the cost
The examination, any additional imaging, and the treatment needed determine your total. Treatment and additional images are separate from the advertised new patient exam; review the offer details below.
Before your visit: Have your medication list and insurance details ready. Bring any tooth pieces or restorations. Same day care depends on availability.
Ask our team to confirm applicable insurance benefits and current payment options for your proposed care.

What Happens at Your Emergency Visit
1. We Listen First
Tell us what happened and when it started. We review your health history and medications.
2. We Examine the Area
Dr. Rudnick examines the area. If additional images or CBCT 3D imaging would help, we explain why and the cost first.
3. You Hear Your Options
We explain the findings, suitable treatment options, timing, and estimated costs in plain language.
4. You Decide
We ask for your consent before treatment. Some concerns need a follow up appointment or a referral; we explain the next step.
Emergency Dental Treatment Options
At our Palm Beach Gardens office, emergency care may include a crown, root canal treatment, or tooth extraction. Dr. Rudnick explains which options fit your examination findings, health, and needs. Some treatment can be completed in one visit; other cases need additional visits or a referral.
One Day Dental Crowns
We use fastmill.io technology to make one day dental crowns for suitable teeth. A crown may help restore a cracked, weakened, or heavily damaged tooth. Your examination and available appointment time determine whether it can be completed that day.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment may help save a tooth when the tissue inside is inflamed or infected. We explain the treatment plan, whether a crown is needed afterward, and whether your case requires additional visits or specialist care.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, a tooth extraction may be appropriate. We explain the procedure, comfort options, and aftercare before treatment. The timing depends on your health, the complexity of the extraction, and appointment availability.
Smaller chips or cavities may be treated with tooth colored bonding or a filling. Symptoms alone do not tell us which treatment you need.

What to Do Before You Get Here
Bring your medication list, insurance information, and any tooth pieces or restorations. The guidance below is for the time before your visit.
Severe Toothache
Avoid chewing on the painful side and gently rinse with warm water. Pain that fades can still need attention.
Tooth Abscess, Gum Swelling, or Facial Swelling
A dental abscess is a pocket of infection. Swelling, pain when biting, a bad taste, or fever can be warning signs, but an examination is needed to find the cause. Call promptly even if the pain eases; an abscess will not go away on its own. Do not try to drain swelling yourself.
Treatment may involve drainage, root canal treatment, or extraction, depending on the cause. Antibiotics are not needed for every toothache and do not replace necessary dental treatment. Dr. Rudnick will determine whether they are appropriate.
Trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling toward your eye or neck, or feeling seriously unwell requires emergency medical care. Read the urgent warning signs.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
Rinse gently with warm water. Save any pieces and avoid chewing on the affected side. A cold compress against the outside of your cheek may help with swelling.
Knocked Out Adult Tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. If you can safely and gently return it to the socket, do so; otherwise keep it in milk or a tooth preservation solution. Seek the nearest available dentist or endodontist immediately, ideally within 30 minutes. Do not wait for our callback if urgent care is available elsewhere. Never put a baby tooth back in its socket. Saving the tooth is not guaranteed.
Lost Crown, Filling, or Bridge
Save the crown or restoration and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side. Do not use household glue to put it back; call for guidance.
Jaw Pain After an Injury or Trouble Opening
Call about new jaw pain or difficulty opening your mouth. A serious facial injury or possible broken jaw needs emergency medical assessment. Do not assume the cause is TMJ.
Never put aspirin directly on your gums. Ask a dentist or pharmacist which pain relief is safe for you. These steps do not replace an examination.
Why Prompt Dental Care Matters
An examination can identify the cause of pain and help you understand whether a tooth can be repaired or saved. Home care may help you cope while arranging a visit, but it cannot tell you the cause or replace needed treatment.
Patient education resources: ADA dental emergency guidance, AAE guidance for knocked out teeth, and AAE information about abscessed teeth. General guidance does not replace an examination.
