Call a Dentist First
Your first call should be to your dentist, not an emergency room. ERs can manage infections with antibiotics and pain medication, but they cannot perform dental treatment. You’ll wait for hours and still need to see a dentist.
Enjoy Dental in Hialeah keeps same-day availability for urgent cases. Call (305) 871-9111 first thing in the morning — we prioritize emergency patients.
Severe Toothache
What it means: Severe, throbbing pain — especially pain that wakes you up or doesn’t respond to ibuprofen — almost always indicates pulp infection. This requires a root canal or extraction. It will not resolve on its own.
What to do now:
- Take ibuprofen (600mg) — reduces inflammation better than acetaminophen for dental pain
- Do NOT place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum — this causes chemical burns
- Clove oil applied with a cotton ball provides temporary relief
- Call us immediately — dental infections spread to the jaw and neck without treatment
Cracked or Broken Tooth
What it means: Depends on depth. A minor chip may need bonding. A deep crack reaching the pulp requires a root canal and crown.
What to do now:
- Rinse with warm salt water
- Save any large broken pieces in milk or water
- Avoid chewing on that side
- Over-the-counter dental wax can cover sharp edges temporarily
- Call for a same-day appointment — the crack can deepen with use
Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth
Time-Critical: 30–60 Minutes
You have 30–60 minutes to potentially save the tooth. Move fast — every minute counts.
- Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root)
- Rinse gently with water — do NOT scrub
- If possible, gently reinsert the tooth into the socket
- If you can’t reinsert it, place it in milk or hold it between your cheek and gum
- Do NOT let it dry out — dry time is the biggest predictor of failure
- Call immediately and get to us within 30 minutes
Lost Crown or Filling
Not usually urgent, but the exposed tooth is sensitive and can crack further. Temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) protects the tooth until your appointment. Call to schedule within 48 hours.
Dental Abscess
Genuine Emergency — Seek Care Immediately
A pimple-like bump on the gum, facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing alongside tooth pain indicates an abscess. This is a genuine emergency — call immediately or go to an ER if you have fever or swelling spreading to your neck.
