Dental emergencies — severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a broken tooth — need prompt evaluation to reduce complications and relieve discomfort.

We prioritize urgent cases at Brickell Dental Care and explain your options clearly, whether you need same-day treatment, medication, or referral for advanced care.

Key benefits

• Rapid assessment to identify the cause of pain or swelling
• Stabilization of broken teeth or lost restorations when possible
• Clear next steps so you are not guessing during a stressful moment
• Coordination with specialists if trauma or infection requires it

What to expect

1. Triage — We ask about symptoms, timing, and medical history to prioritize safety.

2. Exam & imaging — Clinical exam and X-rays help pinpoint infection, fracture, or other issues.

3. Treatment — This may include temporary repair, drainage, root canal, extraction, or prescriptions as appropriate.

4. Follow-up — We schedule definitive care if a temporary fix was placed first.

Who it’s for

Anyone with uncontrolled bleeding, spreading swelling, fever, or trauma to jaws/teeth should seek urgent care. Call 911 for airway or severe trauma concerns.

FAQ

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe pain, swelling, knocked-out teeth, large fractures, or signs of infection often need same-day attention.

What if I knock out a tooth?

Handle the crown only, keep it moist (milk or saline), and get to a dentist quickly — time matters.
