Emergency Dentist in Miami
A dental emergency has a way of turning an ordinary day upside down. One moment you’re fine, the next there’s pain, or a broken tooth, or a child holding their mouth, and a small wave of panic. The first thing we want you to know is simple: we’ve got you. At Softly Dental, an emergency is met with calm, quick care, not chaos, so the scariest part is often just the moment before you call.
What counts as a dental emergency
A dental emergency is any urgent problem that needs prompt attention to ease pain, save a tooth, or prevent a bigger issue. Common ones include a severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling, or an injury to the mouth. If something is hurting or doesn’t seem right, it’s worth a call, that’s what we’re here for.
The reassuring truth is that most dental emergencies are very treatable, especially when handled promptly. A knocked-out tooth can often be saved with quick care. A bad toothache usually has a clear, fixable cause. Swelling and broken teeth can be addressed and relieved. When you reach an emergency dentist who can see you for same-day dental care, what felt frightening tends to become manageable very quickly.
Don’t tough it out alone
People often wait, hoping a problem will settle on its own. If you’re in pain or worried, you don’t have to wait it out. A quick call lets us guide you and get you seen.

Frequently asked questions
Emergency Dentist
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root, gently rinse it if it’s dirty, and keep it moist, ideally in milk or tucked against your cheek. Then call us right away at 305-262-0509. Quick action gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Is a bad toothache an emergency?
A severe or persistent toothache is worth prompt attention, since it usually points to a problem that won’t resolve on its own. Call us and we’ll help you figure out the next step and ease your discomfort.
Can you see me the same day?
We do our best to provide same-day care for urgent problems. Call us as early as you can, and we’ll work to get you seen quickly.
What if my emergency happens after hours?
Call our office at 305-262-0509 for guidance on what to do and how to be seen. We’ll help you handle the situation and arrange care as soon as possible.
Will the emergency treatment hurt?
Relieving your pain is our first priority, and treatment is done with your comfort in mind. Most patients feel considerable relief once we’ve addressed the problem.
