Is It a Dental Emergency?
Of course, not every dental problem needs the same response. For that reason, this table helps you decide how quickly to see an emergency dentist in Lauderhill:
| Situation | What it may mean | When to get care |
|---|---|---|
| Knocked-out tooth | Tooth may still be saved | Right away |
| Swelling in the face or gums | Possible abscess or infection | Same day, or ER if swelling spreads |
| Severe or throbbing toothache | Deep decay or an infected nerve | Same day |
| Cracked or broken tooth | Damage that can reach the nerve | Same day or next day |
| Lost filling or crown | Exposed tooth that is sensitive | Within a day or two |
| Mild sensitivity or small chip | Minor wear or damage | Book a regular visit |
Go to the ER or call 911 if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads to your eye or neck, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw or head injury.

Your visit, step by step
What Happens at Your Emergency Dental Visit
At an emergency dentist in Lauderhill, your first goal is relief, so we keep the visit focused and clear:
- Quick check-in – first, tell us where it hurts and what happened
- Exam and X-rays – next, we find the cause, included in the $49 visit
- Pain relief – then we numb the area and treat the urgent problem
- Clear plan – finally, we explain any follow-up care and the price
As a result, many patients leave the same visit feeling much better. If you feel nervous, ask about sedation options when you call.
Save the tooth first
Emergency Root Canal and Tooth Extraction in Lauderhill
Fortunately, a painful tooth can often be saved. For example, Dr. Jonathan Journo is an endodontist on our team, which means he also has advanced training in root canal treatment. As a result, many patients get an emergency root canal right here instead of being referred elsewhere.
Sometimes, however, a tooth is too damaged to repair. In that case, an emergency tooth extraction stops the pain and prevents the infection from spreading. Afterward, we can replace the tooth with a dental implant, a bridge, or a partial denture.
Affordable care
Cost of an Emergency Dentist in Lauderhill
Dental pain should not wait because of cost. For this reason, we keep emergency care simple and affordable:
- $49 emergency visit – exam and full X-rays
- No insurance needed – you can still be seen
- PPO insurance – we file claims for you
- Financing – monthly payments with approval

Questions
Emergency Dentist FAQs for Lauderhill Patients
Getting Seen Fast
Can I see an emergency dentist in Lauderhill today?
Often, yes. We reserve time for dental emergencies, so call as early in the day as you can. Our team will find the soonest opening and tell you what to do until you arrive.
Do you accept walk-ins for dental emergencies?
Please call before you come in, because that way we can have a dentist and a chair ready for you, and you spend less time waiting in pain.
Are you open on weekends?
No, our office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. However, you can leave a message or request an appointment online, and we will contact you when we open. If your symptoms are severe, go to the nearest emergency room.
Should I go to the ER or an emergency dentist?
Go to the ER or call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads to your eye or neck, bleeding that will not stop, or a jaw injury. On the other hand, for toothaches, broken teeth, and lost crowns, an emergency dentist can usually help faster and fix the actual problem.
Pain & Treatment
How can I relieve a toothache until my appointment?
First, rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and hold a cold compress on your cheek. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help as directed on the label, but never place aspirin directly on your gums.
Is a tooth abscess an emergency?
Yes. An abscess is a bacterial infection, so it will not go away on its own. Therefore, call us the same day, and go to the ER if swelling spreads or you develop a fever with facial swelling.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Sometimes, if you act fast. First, pick the tooth up by the crown, rinse it gently, and place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Then come in right away, because the chance of saving it drops with every minute.
Will I need an emergency tooth extraction?
Not always. First, we try to save the tooth, for example with a root canal. If the tooth cannot be saved, we can perform a tooth extraction and discuss replacement options.
Cost & Insurance
How much does an emergency dentist visit cost?
Our emergency visit is $49 and includes an exam and full X-rays. Then, after we find the cause of your pain, we explain your treatment options and give you a clear price before we begin.
Do I need insurance to see an emergency dentist?
No. You can pay without insurance. We also accept many PPO plans, file claims for you, and offer financing with approval for larger treatment.
