Emergency FAQ

What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?

Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently with water — do not scrub. Try to reinsert it in the socket if possible. If not, place it in milk or hold it between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately — a knocked-out tooth must be treated within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.

I’m in severe pain. Can I get seen today?

Yes — call us immediately at (305) 954-1751. We prioritize emergency patients and will do our best to see you the same day, often within a few hours.

Should I go to the ER or call you?

For dental pain, infection, or a knocked-out tooth, call us first — we can treat you faster and more effectively than an ER. ERs can prescribe antibiotics and pain relief but cannot do dental procedures. Go to the ER if you have difficulty breathing, severe swelling spreading to your neck, or signs of a systemic infection.

What can I take for pain while I wait?

Over-the-counter ibuprofen (Advil) is usually most effective for dental pain. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling.

Do you charge extra for emergency visits?

Emergency exam fees are comparable to regular exam fees. We’ll always discuss costs before starting treatment.
