Same Day Dentist for Emergencies

If you are experiencing a toothache that is keeping you awake in the middle of the night, or making it hard for you to go about your normal day, it is a good idea to get it checked out by the dentist right away. The tooth could be infected, have trauma, be erupted or need to be extracted. Do not wait to call as waiting can potentially make your problems worse and oftentimes produce a very painful dental abscess. You really never know what the source of your toothache is until you visit the dentist for a proper diagnosis.

One way to reduce the pain and swelling before heading to our office is to apply cold to the area using an icepack or a compress. Once you arrive, we will work as fast as possible to eliminate any discomfort you may be feeling. Oftentimes a patient enters our office in pain and leaves pain-free. This is our ideal outcome and we strive to make it happen every single time. Don’t be afraid to come to see us.  We are here to help!

If a tooth has been knocked out or has simply fallen out, try to find the tooth. If you can find it, rinse it in warm water and if place it in a glass of milk. Although fairly rare, it is possible that Dr. Herzog will be able to save your tooth. If she can't save the tooth, the next options would be discussing a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture. Sometimes when a tooth is knocked out, root tips or pieces of the tooth still remain. It is important that they are removed from the patient's mouth quickly by a dentist during an emergency visit. 

Most people who have a broken tooth got it in one of three ways: a sports injury, a car accident, or a fight. Chances are you are dealing with a chipped tooth or a cracked tooth which can normally be saved. The most common method for fixing chipped or cracked teeth is a crown or veneer as both can restore full functionality to the tooth.  During your visit, we can help you understand your options and we can even make a new crown or veneer in the same day with our state-of-the-art technology. If you live anywhere in the Miami area and need an emergency dentist, we are here to help you.

Having an infected tooth is another very common reason that people need to see the dentist urgently. Some complaints of tooth pain are actually caused by an infection. During your visit, we will conduct an examination, take x-rays and check for sensitivity to hot and cold. Dr. Herzog will provide the best course of treatment that is available to eliminate the chance of the infection getting worse or turning into a dental abscess. 

The average dentist will charge between $75 to $250 for an emergency visit. This will include x-rays and an exam. This does not typically include treatment for the emergency. Some dentists will offer a free consultation, although the treatment will never be free. Our office provides emergency dental exams for only $100.

The emergency dentist will evaluate the emergency or tooth and let you know what the treatment is, as well as discuss prices and financing options prior to performing any procedures. If you're having a dental emergency during normal business hours, all of the above may be true. But if you're having an emergency outside of normal business hours, the price may be expensive and it may be difficult to find an emergency dentist. We will perform an emergency dental exam for only $100!
