Dr. Janet Gonzalez then explains your options and any next steps clearly. Your comfort and reassurance come first, which is exactly how emergency care should feel in Miami.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs
What counts as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling or signs of infection, a lost filling or crown, and bleeding that will not stop. If you are in pain or worried, it is best to reach out. Our Miami team will help you determine the right next step. When in doubt, it is always best to reach out.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown, gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then seek dental care right away, as acting quickly improves the chance of saving it. Contact our Miami team as soon as possible. Quick action gives the tooth its best chance.
Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a dental emergency?
For most dental emergencies, a dentist is the right place to relieve pain and treat the problem. However, for severe swelling affecting breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or significant trauma, seek emergency medical care first. Our Miami team can guide you and provide prompt dental treatment. We will point you to the right care.
What can I do about severe tooth pain?
