What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

Act fast - a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when it's back in the socket within one hour. Pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse gently if it's dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, store it in milk or saliva and get to us immediately. Don't scrub the root - that destroys the tissue needed to reattach it. Call Love Your Jaws on your way in.

Urgent Dental Care - Miami

When severe tooth pain, facial trauma, or a fast-spreading infection hits, every minute counts.

Emergency oral surgery handles the serious dental and facial problems a typical dental office can't - from fractured jaws and uncontrolled bleeding to failing implants and deep infections that can threaten your airway.

In Miami, having a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who can see you the same day - with advanced imaging and sedation right on-site - can be the difference between a fast recovery and a dangerous complication.

That's exactly why Love Your Jaws exists. With a dual board-certified surgeon, in-house anesthesia, and robotic implant surgery all under one roof, urgent cases get same-day appointments and a treatment plan that handles both the pain in front of you and your long-term dental health - no referral delays, no guessing what happens next.

BENEFITS

How We Handle Dental Emergencies?

Emergency dental services at a specialized oral surgery center operate on a fundamentally different level than traditional urgent dental care.

Where a general dental office might manage a broken tooth or prescribe medication for an infection, oral maxillofacial surgery handles the cases that can cause serious damage if left untreated: jaw fractures, deep abscesses, failed implants, and trauma requiring reconstruction.

Advanced Surgical Technology

Robotic dental implant reconstruction using systems like Yomi brings precision to complex emergency cases, controlling implant angulation, depth, and positioning even under urgent conditions.

Same-Day Availability in Miami

Urgent oral surgical procedures are scheduled within hours, not days. Patients needing immediate care should contact specialized oral surgery centers rather than waiting in a general ER.

Comprehensive Pain Management

IV Sedation and multiple anesthesia options - from local to general depending on procedure complexity - ensure patients remain comfortable. Anesthesia is used to manage pain during oral surgery procedures.

Streamlined Emergency Protocols

From the initial call to post-operative care, every step is designed to minimize waiting and maximize treatment speed.

Board-Certified Surgeon On-Call

Each patient's care is led by Dr. Kroum Dimitrov, a double board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and dental anesthesiologist - surgical and anesthesia expertise, together, for every single case.

What Oral and Dental Emergencies Require Immediate Surgical Care?

Some dental problems can't wait - untreated, they risk spreading infection, tooth loss, or worse. If any of these sound like you, call right away:

A patient's point-of-view shot looking up at a team of six dental professionals. They are wearing blue surgical masks and holding dental tools, peering down as if leaning over a dental chair.

Knocked-out or displaced teeth - A tooth that's been fully knocked out has the best chance of being saved within the first hour. Keep it moist and get in immediately.

Facial or oral swelling - Swelling in the face, jaw, or neck can signal a serious infection that may compromise your airway. This needs urgent evaluation.

Uncontrolled bleeding - Bleeding that won't stop after an extraction, injury, or surgery requires prompt professional care.

Severe or worsening pain - Intense, throbbing pain - especially with fever or swelling - often points to an abscess or infection that needs to be drained or treated surgically.

Jaw or facial trauma - Fractures, dislocations, or injuries to the jaw and facial bones need immediate attention to heal properly and protect long-term function.

Dental abscess or infection - A pocket of infection can spread quickly to surrounding tissue and, in rare cases, become life-threatening if not treated fast.

Post-surgical complications - Problems like dry socket, persistent bleeding, or signs of infection after a procedure should be addressed right away.

Impacted or infected wisdom teeth - Sudden pain, swelling, or infection around a wisdom tooth can require urgent removal.

When in doubt, call. We'll help you determine how serious it is and get you the care you need - fast.

Common questions. Honest answers.

In Miami, a simple tooth extraction generally runs $150–$400, surgical extractions $250–$600, and impacted wisdom teeth $300–$800 - with sedation, imaging, and bone grafting affecting the final cost. Because every emergency is different, the only accurate number is one based on your exam and imaging. At Love Your Jaws, we give you a clear treatment plan and transparent pricing before we begin - no surprises. Call for a same-day evaluation and quote.

A dental emergency is any problem that needs immediate care to stop pain, control bleeding, or save a tooth. The ones that require an oral surgeon include: a knocked-out or displaced tooth, facial or jaw swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, severe worsening pain with fever, jaw or facial trauma, a spreading dental abscess, and complications after a previous procedure. If you're unsure, call us - we'll help you decide how serious it is and what to do next.

For most dental emergencies, an oral surgeon is the right call - not the ER. An emergency room can give you pain medication, antibiotics, and sometimes drain an abscess, but hospitals usually can't perform dental procedures like extractions or repairs. That means you'll still need a surgeon to actually fix the problem. Go to the ER only if you have serious swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or major facial trauma. Otherwise, call us - we treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Yes. A tooth abscess is a pocket of infection that can spread quickly to surrounding tissue - and, left untreated, become dangerous. If you have severe swelling, high fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, go straight to the ER. Otherwise, call Love Your Jaws right away. We'll drain the infection, treat the source surgically, and get you out of pain fast. Don't wait it out - abscesses don't heal on their own.

Yes - stopping your pain is the first thing we do. Severe, throbbing tooth pain usually means infection, nerve damage, or an abscess, and it rarely gets better on its own. At Love Your Jaws, we hold same-day appointments for exactly this: we'll find the source with 3D imaging, get you comfortable under our dual-provider sedation, and treat the problem at the root - not just mask it. Over-the-counter painkillers and a cold compress can help while you're on your way, but if the pain is intense, spreading, or comes with swelling or fever, don't wait it out. Call now for immediate relief.
