Your insurance or Medicare Advantage card, a list of your medications, and a photo ID.
What counts as a dental emergency?
If it hurts, it's broken, or it's swelling, call us. Common reasons people call:
- Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth — even if it doesn't hurt yet, a crack can spread.
- Toothache — throbbing pain, pain when you bite, or sensitivity that lingers after hot or cold.
- Swelling or a pimple-like bump on the gum — often a sign of infection that needs to be treated quickly.
- Lost filling or crown — the tooth underneath is exposed and can break or decay.
- A knocked-out or loose tooth — time matters; call right away.
- Something stuck between your teeth that floss won't remove.
- A broken denture, bridge, or partial — we do denture repairs and relines.
Not sure if it's an emergency? Call (813) 820-0071 and describe what's happening. We'll tell you what to expect in plain language.
Dental emergency or medical emergency?
Go to the ER or call 911 if swelling is making it hard to breathe or swallow, if you have a high fever with facial swelling, if bleeding after an injury won't stop, or if you have a serious injury to your face, head, or jaw. For everything else — broken teeth, toothaches, lost crowns — call us first.
What to do before you arrive
- Broken or cracked tooth: Rinse gently with warm water. Save any pieces in a clean container and bring them. A cold compress on the cheek helps with swelling.
- Toothache: Rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped food. Don't put aspirin directly on the gum.
- Lost filling or crown: Keep the crown and bring it with you. Chew on the other side and avoid very hot, cold, or sticky food.
- Swelling: Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek, 15–20 minutes at a time. Don't apply heat.
- Knocked-out tooth: Hold it by the crown (the top), not the root. Rinse it gently — don't scrub. Keep it moist in milk and call us immediately.
How we treat it
- A real exam, not a quick look. We look for the cause of the pain, not just the symptom, and explain every finding in plain language.
- Costs in writing before treatment. You get a written plan with costs — including your estimated insurance share — before anything begins.
- Gentler numbing. The Wand numbs just the tooth being treated, without a traditional shot — no numb lip or half-face for the rest of the day.
- Saving the tooth when we can. Depending on the damage, that may mean a tooth-colored filling, bonding, a crown, or a root canal. If a tooth can't be saved, we'll explain why and remove it gently.
- One dentist, one office. You see Dr. Hafsa — no rotating providers. She'll be the one who follows up, too.
