Urgent Oral Surgery When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies involving the jaw, face, or teeth can be painful, traumatic, and time-sensitive. At Surgical & Sleep Solutions, we provide prompt, expert care for oral surgery emergencies in Orange City, FL and the surrounding areas. Dr. Shaunda Kelly, a dual-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon and physician, is equipped to handle a range of urgent conditions that require immediate intervention — all with compassion and precision.
We work closely with local dentists, emergency rooms, and general physicians to deliver fast, effective treatment when every moment counts.
Conditions We Treat in Oral Surgery Emergencies
Some oral and maxillofacial emergencies require surgical intervention to prevent permanent damage or manage life-threatening complications. We commonly treat:
- Facial trauma such as jaw fractures, broken cheekbones, or lacerations
- Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth that need urgent evaluation for reimplantation
- Severe dental infections or abscesses that may involve the jaw or airway
- Impacted teeth causing acute pain, swelling, or infection
- Uncontrolled bleeding after oral procedures or accidents
- Injuries from sports or auto accidents
- Acute TMJ dislocations or locked jaws
Dr. Kelly’s hospital-based experience and advanced surgical training allow us to provide both in-office and hospital-based emergency care as needed.

- Stay calm and assess the situation.
- Control bleeding using gauze or a clean cloth.
- Preserve any dislodged teeth in milk or saline.
- Avoid taking aspirin, which may increase bleeding.
