Dental pain, swelling, infection or a broken tooth can make it hard to eat, sleep, work or focus on anything else. These symptoms can also signal a problem that may continue to worsen without treatment.
At Minorca Smiles, we focus on relieving pain, identifying the cause of the emergency and protecting your long-term oral health. Whether you are dealing with a severe toothache, dental abscess, cracked tooth, lost crown, knocked-out tooth or emergency tooth extraction, our team is here to help you take the right next step.
If you are in pain now, contact our office or call 305-443-4713.
When to Call for Emergency Dental Care

Common reasons to schedule an emergency dental visit include:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth
- A knocked-out tooth
- Facial, jaw or gum swelling
- A dental abscess or signs of infection
- A lost filling, crown or other restoration
- Bleeding or injury to the gums, lips, tongue or cheeks
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Wisdom tooth pain or infection
- A tooth that may need urgent root canal therapy or extraction
If you are searching for an emergency dentist near me because you are in pain, call 305-443-4713. Our team can help you determine how quickly you should be seen.
Emergency Help for Tooth Pain, Infection and Broken Teeth
Tooth pain can come from deep decay, an infected nerve, a cracked tooth, gum disease, trauma, bite pressure or a damaged restoration. A broken tooth or lost crown can also expose sensitive tooth structure and leave the tooth more vulnerable to infection or additional fracture.
During your emergency visit, we will examine the area, take any necessary images and explain what is causing your symptoms. Depending on your needs, treatment may include repairing the tooth, replacing a restoration, treating an infection, performing root canal therapy or completing a tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be saved.
Our goal is to help you get out of pain, avoid unnecessary delays and move forward with the right treatment plan.
Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments Whenever Possible
Dental emergencies cannot always wait for a routine appointment. That is why we offer same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible.
When you call, our team will ask about your symptoms and help determine the urgency of your situation. If we can see you the same day, we will work to evaluate the problem, relieve discomfort and begin the appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
The right steps before your appointment can help protect your tooth and reduce discomfort:
- Call our office immediately for guidance.
- If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist and bring it with you.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Use a cold compress to help reduce swelling.
- Keep the area clean and avoid irritating the tooth or gums.
- Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Our team will provide specific instructions based on your symptoms when you call.
For trauma involving the head, neck, jaw fracture, trouble breathing or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care first.
Emergency Dental Treatments We Provide
Emergency dentistry is focused on stabilizing the problem, relieving pain and protecting your health. Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
- Emergency dental exams and digital imaging
- Pain relief and diagnosis
- Treatment for dental infections or abscesses
- Repair of cracked, chipped or broken teeth
- Replacement or recementing of lost crowns or fillings
- Root canal therapy for infected or severely painful teeth
- Tooth extractions when a tooth cannot be restored
- Temporary or long-term restorative treatment
If your emergency involves a damaged or weakened tooth, we may also discuss restorative options such as same-day dental crowns, depending on the extent of the damage and the best way to restore strength.
Why Fast Emergency Treatment Matters
Waiting too long to treat a dental emergency can allow pain, infection or structural damage to worsen. A toothache may develop into an abscess. A small crack may become a larger fracture. A loose or missing restoration can leave the tooth exposed to decay or breakage.
Prompt treatment gives us the best chance to relieve discomfort, control infection, save the tooth when possible and reduce the need for more complex care later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, dental infections, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, lost restorations and injuries that require prompt attention.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We offer same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible and prioritize urgent cases. Call 305-443-4713 so our team can help determine the next available appointment.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Keep the tooth moist and contact our office immediately. If possible, place the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and bring it with you. Fast treatment improves the chances of saving the tooth.
Can you treat dental infections?
Yes. We can evaluate dental infections and recommend treatment to help relieve pain and prevent the issue from worsening. Swelling, fever, severe pain or a bad taste in the mouth may be signs of infection and should be addressed quickly.
Will emergency dental treatment relieve pain right away?
Our goal is to reduce pain as quickly as possible while treating the cause of the problem. The right treatment depends on whether the pain is related to decay, infection, trauma, a cracked tooth, gum inflammation or a damaged restoration.
Can you fix a broken tooth the same day?
In many cases, we can begin treatment for a broken tooth the same day. Depending on the severity of the damage, treatment may include bonding, a dental crown, root canal therapy or another restorative option.
Should I go to the emergency room or an emergency dentist?
For tooth pain, broken teeth, lost crowns or dental infections, call our dental office first unless you are experiencing a medical emergency. If you have head or neck trauma, trouble breathing, uncontrolled bleeding or signs of a serious medical issue, seek emergency medical care immediately.
