Broken tooth
Rinse with warm water, save any pieces, and use a cold compress on your cheek for swelling.

Emergency Dentist questions
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Call (305) 512-0066 as early as possible. We’ll do our best to see you the same day.
What if I don’t have insurance?
Our $99 emergency visit with a single X-ray is one clear price, and we explain the cost of any treatment before we start.
Do you offer sedation?
We don’t offer sedation dentistry. Emergency treatment is done with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, and we explain each step before we start.
My tooth stopped hurting. Do I still need to come in?
Yes. Pain that suddenly stops can mean the nerve has died, and the infection can still spread.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling in the face or gums, a lost filling or crown that leaves a sharp edge, or bleeding that won’t stop. If you have facial swelling with a fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing, then try to put it back in the socket or keep it in milk, and call us right away. The sooner you’re seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
What can I do for a toothache until my visit?
Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss to remove trapped food and use a cold compress on the cheek. Don’t put aspirin on the gums. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if they’re safe for you; follow the label.
