Emergency and 24-Hour Dentists in Wellington, FL: Who to Call

A cracked tooth or a throbbing toothache never happens at a convenient time. If you need an emergency dentist in Wellington, FL, this guide shows who offers same-day emergency visits, who's open evenings and Saturdays, which offices answer the phone after hours, and when to skip the dentist and go straight to the ER.

Is there a 24-hour emergency dentist near Wellington?

Not in the walk-in sense. We checked every dental office in and around Wellington, and none is open overnight. What you will find is offices that answer emergency calls around the clock, see weekend emergencies by appointment, or hold same-day slots for urgent cases. Be careful with websites advertising a "24-hour emergency dentist" hotline for Wellington: many are referral call centers, not dental offices, and simply pass your number to whoever pays for leads. Calling a real local practice directly is usually faster.

Oral surgeons for dental trauma

For a broken jaw, a badly knocked-out tooth, or an infection that needs surgery, your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon. Elite Oral Surgery of Wellington (1051 S State Road 7, Suite 1, (561) 790-0206) treats dental and facial trauma and infections and advertises rapid access to emergency care. Wellington Oral Surgery and Profiles Oral & Facial Surgery also have Wellington offices.

When to go to the ER instead

Call your dentist first for most problems. Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have:

Facial or jaw swelling with fever, or swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow
Bleeding that won't stop after 10 to 15 minutes of firm pressure
A broken jaw or serious facial injury

ERs can treat infection and pain and stabilize injuries, but they can't do fillings or crowns, so you'll still need a dentist afterward. The closest 24-hour ERs are Wellington Regional Medical Center (10101 Forest Hill Blvd, (561) 798-8500) and HCA Florida Palms West Hospital (13001 Southern Blvd, Loxahatchee), which also has a pediatric ER. See our guide to hospitals and urgent care in Wellington.

What to do in a dental emergency

Knocked-out adult tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse gently and try to put it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in milk and see a dentist within an hour.
Cracked or broken tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold compress for swelling.
Severe toothache: rinse with warm salt water, floss to remove trapped food and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Don't put aspirin on the gums.
Lost filling or crown: keep the crown and call your dentist; temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can protect the tooth for a day or two.
