A toothache that won't let you sleep, eat or think gets a same-day appointment at our Palm Beach Gardens office on Northlake Blvd, seven days a week. Reach us at (561) 867-8401; call first and a room is held for you. Our dentists find the cause with an X-ray and treat it at the same visit, whether that's a filling, a root canal, or draining an infection.
The $99 is a minimum fee for patients paying without insurance. It covers a limited, problem-focused emergency exam (ADA code D0140) and the X-ray needed to diagnose the tooth. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need toothache relief today
Not every twinge is an emergency, so here's how our dentists sort them. A sharp zing from something cold that fades in seconds is usually a small cavity, a worn spot, or an exposed root. It can wait a day or two, but it won't fix itself. A dull ache that builds through the evening and pounds when you lie flat is an inflamed nerve, and that one belongs on today's schedule.
Pain when you bite down and release often points to a cracked tooth. A bad taste, a bump on the gum, or a cheek that feels tight means infection has gathered at the root. Pain that over-the-counter medicine no longer touches means the nerve is in trouble.
Swelling that has spread to the eye, the floor of the mouth or the neck, with fever or any trouble swallowing or breathing, goes to a hospital first. Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center on Burns Rd is roughly 3 miles from our office; from Jupiter or Juno Beach, Jupiter Medical Center on Old Dixie Hwy is the nearer one. Bear in mind that hospitals treat spreading infection and injuries; they generally don't treat the tooth itself. Phone us when they discharge you and we finish the job.
What happens at your same-day visit
You tell our dentist what the pain feels like, what sets it off, and when it started. The X-ray then shows what the mirror can't: decay under an old filling, a crack running into the root, an abscess at the tip, or a tooth pushing against its neighbor.
Once the screen shows the cause, the fix gets a written price, and whether to go ahead is your call. A small cavity is cleared and filled. A nerve that's inflamed beyond repair gets an emergency root canal. An infection is drained and treated. A tooth that's split past saving is removed. All of that happens here, and you leave with written instructions for the next few days.
Cost of toothache relief in Palm Beach Gardens
Paying without insurance, you'll owe $99 for the exam and X-ray. That part finds the cause. Whatever fixes it is a separate item, quoted in writing before we begin, because a filling is nowhere near the same job as a root canal.
Under a PPO, HMO or Medicare Advantage dental plan, your plan is what gets billed for the exam and X-ray. There are in-house payment plans, plus Sunbit, Cherry and CareCredit financing, for the rest. Every step of that, financing included, is written up on our cost and insurance page in plain words.
Why patients choose our Northlake Blvd office
Our hours fit around a toothache instead of the other way around: Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. A tooth that keeps you up Tuesday night can be seen at 7:00 AM Wednesday before work. A phone call at midnight reaches a real person; the answering service notes your problem and holds you the first opening in the morning.
We accept most PPO and HMO dental plans and Medicare Advantage dental plans. Spanish is spoken by our front desk while we're open. The office opened in 2025, and there's parking on site off Northlake Blvd.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get through tonight before my appointment?
A pain reliever from the drugstore shelf, taken as its label says, a warm salt-water swish and an extra pillow under your head all help. So does a cold pack on the cheek. Aspirin laid on the gum burns the tissue, so don't. Then call (561) 867-8401 and the first opening is yours.
Why is the toothache worse at night?
Flat on a pillow, more blood flows to your head, which raises pressure inside a tooth whose nerve is already inflamed. There are also fewer distractions, so the ache has your full attention. Night pain that pounds with your pulse usually means the nerve needs treatment.
Will a toothache clear up by itself?
The pain can; the problem rarely does. A nerve that dies stops sending signals, so the tooth goes quiet while the infection keeps spreading at the root. Weeks later it can return as a dental abscess with swelling. A quiet tooth that used to hurt still deserves an X-ray.
My tooth only hurts when I chew. Is that an emergency?
Pain on biting, especially on release, often means a crack. Cracks grow with every meal, and a crack that reaches the root turns a repair into an extraction. Call today and we'll find it on the X-ray and with a bite test. Our broken tooth repair page covers what happens next.
