Same-day care

In pain? We’ll get you seen today.

A toothache at 9 AM shouldn’t mean suffering until next week. At Adel Dentistry in Carrollwood, Tampa, we reserve time in our schedule specifically for dental emergencies — and we offer same-day appointments whenever possible. One call to (813) 964-8585 and we’ll get you seen quickly, with calm, gentle, unhurried care. We’re a private, single-doctor practice, so there’s no assembly line: when you’re in pain, you get Dr. Adel’s full attention, an accurate diagnosis with digital imaging, and relief as the first priority.

Know the signs

What counts as a dental emergency

Call us right away if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe or persistent toothache — especially pain that keeps you up at night or doesn’t respond to over-the-counter relief
  • A knocked-out tooth — time matters most here, call immediately
  • A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth — particularly if there’s pain, swelling, or a sharp edge
  • A lost crown or filling — leaving the tooth exposed can lead to further damage
  • Swelling in the gums, cheek, or jaw — which can signal an infection that needs prompt attention
  • Bleeding that won’t stop, or an injury to the lips, tongue, or mouth

Not sure whether it’s an emergency? Call anyway. We’d rather hear from you and put your mind at ease than have a small problem become a big one.

First aid

What to do before you get here

Quick action can save a tooth. Here’s what to do while you’re on your way to our Carrollwood office.

Knocked-out tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly with water — don’t scrub it. Try to gently place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in a cup of milk or in your cheek. Get to us as quickly as possible; teeth re-implanted quickly have the best chance of being saved.

Severe toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the tooth to remove any trapped food. A cold compress on the cheek can ease swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums — it can burn the tissue.

Broken, chipped, or cracked tooth

Rinse with warm water, save any pieces you can find, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Cover a sharp edge with dental wax or sugar-free gum until we see you.

Lost crown or filling

Keep the crown if you have it — we may be able to re-cement it. Avoid chewing on that side until your visit.

Swelling or bleeding

Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze for bleeding; use a cold compress for swelling. Swelling accompanied by fever or difficulty swallowing should be treated as urgent — call us immediately.

Your visit

What to expect at your emergency visit

First, we listen. Then we diagnose: a focused exam and digital x-rays pinpoint exactly what’s wrong. Relief comes first — we’ll address your pain before anything else. Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Adel will explain what happened, what your options are, and what each will cost — clearly, with no pressure and no surprises. Many emergencies (a lost crown, a chipped tooth, a damaged filling) can be repaired the same day, and our in-office same-day crowns mean even a broken tooth can often leave fully restored in a single visit.

Tooth can’t be saved? dental implants replace it permanently. Chipped front tooth? porcelain veneers restore it beautifully.

After hours

Dental emergencies don’t keep office hours

Toothaches don’t check the calendar. Our regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with evening and Saturday appointments available by request. If you’re in pain when we’re closed, call (813) 964-8585 — we’ll get you scheduled at the earliest possible appointment and advise you on managing the pain safely until we can see you.

Prevention

Preventing dental emergencies

Not every emergency is avoidable — but many are. A few habits go a long way:

  • Don’t skip checkups — most dental emergencies start as small problems: a tiny cavity becomes a toothache, a worn filling becomes a broken tooth. Regular exams and cleanings catch these early, when fixes are simple.
  • Wear a mouthguard for sports — a custom-fitted guard protects against the knocked-out and broken teeth we see after weekend games.
  • Don’t chew the hard stuff — ice, hard candy, popcorn kernels, and pens are among the most common culprits behind cracked teeth.
  • Don’t use your teeth as tools — opening packages or bottles with your teeth is a fast track to a chipped tooth.
  • Address small issues promptly — a tooth that’s sensitive to hot and cold, a filling that feels rough, or a crown that feels loose — these are your early warning signs. Call us at the first sign and we’ll take care of it before it becomes urgent.
Cost & insurance

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

Don’t let that stop you from getting help. At your emergency visit, we’ll diagnose the problem, relieve your pain, and give you clear, upfront pricing before any treatment is scheduled — no surprises. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans, and for patients without insurance, our in-house membership plan provides discounts on treatment and access to year-round dental care. When you’re in pain, the most expensive option is waiting: small problems become big ones fast.

Adel Dentistry is not a regular dental office. Dr. Mustafa Adel is an award-winning cosmetic dentist with hospital-level training: a General Practice Residency (GPR) at Saint Vincent Hospital in Cleveland covering advanced dentistry, trauma, surgery, and implants — plus a Fellowship in implants from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).

FAQs

Emergency dentist FAQs

A severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, a lost crown or filling, facial swelling, or bleeding that won’t stop. If you’re in significant pain or worried about damage, treat it as an emergency and call (813) 964-8585.

Handle it by the crown, not the root. Rinse it briefly with water (don’t scrub), try to place it back in the socket, or keep it moist in milk. Get to a dentist as quickly as possible — teeth treated quickly have the best chance of being saved.

For tooth pain, a dentist is almost always the right call — emergency rooms generally can’t treat the tooth itself. Call us at (813) 964-8585; we reserve time for emergencies and offer same-day appointments whenever possible.

Call ahead at (813) 964-8585 and we’ll do everything possible to see you the same day. Calling first lets us reserve the right amount of time and have everything ready when you arrive.

Tooth pain rarely resolves by itself — it usually means decay, infection, or damage that needs treatment. The sooner we see it, the simpler (and less expensive) the fix is likely to be.
