The city of Boynton Beach in Palm Beach County grew from a hotel which a Civil War Major by the name of Nathan Boynton set up in the late 1890’s as a place where his family and friends from Michigan could spend the winters in a more pleasant climate surrounded by natural beauty. It is now the main city in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area which has a combined population in excess of five and a half million.
That’s Quite A Large Number Of Teeth
From both the permanent population and the input of visiting tourists and vacationers; it is obvious that, on any given day, some people are likely to suffer some sort of dental emergency in Boynton Beach. Severe toothache can develop without warning wherever you may be; but, good dental hygiene and regular checkups will dramatically reduce the risk of a small problem reaching dramatic emergency levels. Other emergencies like losing or damaging a tooth cannot be readily predicted; but they should all be dealt with as soon as possible –not only to relieve discomfort but to prevent one predicament growing into other problems (which might be even more serious).
Timing
By their very nature, emergencies are not predictable; they could occur during the regular working hours of most dental surgeries; but, are just as likely to happen after surgery hours or on days when most surgeries are closed. The question then becomes one of how long can you live with pain and discomfort while looking for a solution?
Many dentists do have 24/7 emergency telephone numbers where a sufferer can obtain advice and, where essential, even receive out of hours treatment. If the problem is some sort of accident which has damaged your teeth and, maybe, other parts of your mouth and jaw; rather than search for emergency dental service; it may be better to make a 911 call or take yourself immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room. It is critical that most cases of facial trauma receive immediate attention.
To some extent; the choices are yours to make. You need to decide just how critical your condition is before opting for immediate hospital treatment; or, possibly waiting for a dentist to attend to you.
Whether you are a registered patient or an out of town visitor; Dr. Elan Salee who is a well qualified dentist and owner of the Boynton Dental Studio will always try to be available for a Dental Emergency at Boynton Beach.
