As an emergency dentist in Miami, Dr. Rana holds same-day slots for the problems that can't wait. That includes a severe or persistent toothache, a tooth that's cracked, chipped or broken, a tooth that's been knocked out entirely, swelling or a suspected abscess, a lost filling or crown, and a broken or ill-fitting denture. Swelling can range from a small bump near the gum to visible puffiness in the cheek, and either one is worth calling about rather than waiting to see if it goes away on its own.
Every emergency visit starts with an exam so you understand exactly what's going on, with any cost confirmed in writing before treatment begins. Oral sedation is available if you're anxious or the visit will take a while, and Dr. Rana will walk you through every option in plain language, a filling, a crown, or, once you're comfortable, a longer-term conversation about replacing a tooth that can't be saved.
A few simple steps can help before you reach us. For a toothache, rinse with warm water and gently floss to clear anything caught between teeth. Avoid placing aspirin or any painkiller directly against the gum, since that can burn the tissue. If your face is swollen, a cold compress on the outside of your cheek helps more than heat, which can make swelling worse. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or saliva, avoid touching the root, and get to us as quickly as you can. Timing matters for whether it can be saved. For a chipped or broken tooth, save any pieces if you can and rinse your mouth gently with warm water. If you've lost a filling or crown, keep the piece if possible and avoid chewing on that side until we see you. For a broken denture, please don't try to repair it yourself with glue. Bring the pieces in and we'll take it from there.
Most dental emergencies are safely treated right here in our office, but a few situations call for an emergency room instead. Go to the ER or call 911 if you have facial swelling along with a fever, any trouble breathing or swallowing, or significant trauma to the jaw from a fall or impact. Those symptoms can point to an infection that's spread beyond the tooth or a possible fracture, and both need care beyond what a dental office can safely provide. If you're not sure which applies to you, call us first. We'd rather help you figure out the right next step than have you guess.
Prana Dental Miami is open now in Edgewater. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm (closed Sunday), and same-day appointments are available for dental emergencies. Please call or text first so we can get you in. We accept most major dental insurance, and for anything not covered, 0% financing options are available on approved credit through CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub. Your exact cost is always confirmed in writing before any treatment starts, so there's no guessing. Our bilingual team can walk you through the same information in Spanish, so language is never a barrier when you're in pain.
The goal of an emergency visit is simple: get you comfortable, explain what happened, and give you a clear plan for what comes next, whether that's finishing treatment that day or scheduling a follow-up. For more on recognizing and handling a dental emergency before you get to us, see our guide to Miami dental emergencies.
Dental emergencies don't wait for a convenient time, and that's true whether you live here or you're just passing through. Prana is a family practice, so kids and teens with a toothache, a knocked-out tooth or a sports injury are seen alongside adults, not referred elsewhere first. If you're visiting Miami and something goes wrong with your teeth while you're away from your regular dentist, you're welcome here too. No local history or existing patient file is required. Just call or text us. We're open, and we can put you on the schedule now.
Our team is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, so whether you're a Miami local or a visitor from out of town, explaining what happened and understanding your options shouldn't be the hard part. If it's your child in pain, see our kids' dentist page for more on how we handle younger patients, in an emergency or otherwise.
Dentists treat teeth, gums and the soft tissue around them. Emergency rooms treat problems that threaten your breathing, spread through the body or involve broken bones. Many ERs can ease pain or start antibiotics for a bad tooth, but they usually can't repair the tooth itself, so you will still need a dentist afterward. Use this table as a rough guide:
| What is happening | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Facial swelling with fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading toward the eye or down the neck | ER, or call 911 |
| A blow to the face from a fall, crash or sports hit, especially if the jaw may be broken or you hit your head | ER first, then a dentist for the teeth |
| Heavy bleeding from the mouth that firm pressure doesn't slow | ER |
| An adult tooth knocked out | A dentist right away; the first 30 to 60 minutes matter most |
| A broken or cracked tooth, a severe toothache, or a small swelling on the gum | A dentist the same day if you can |
| A lost crown or filling, a broken denture, or a chipped tooth that doesn't hurt | A dentist within a few days; call to check |
If you can't tell which row you are in, call or text (786) 579-0521 and tell us what is going on. If something feels life-threatening, call 911 before you call anyone else.
What you do in the first hour can make a real difference, especially for a tooth that has been knocked out. Here is what generally helps for the four problems we hear about most.
We keep same-day appointments for dental emergencies, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. We are closed on Sunday. Please call or text (786) 579-0521 first, even if you are nearby, so we can have a time and a chair ready for you. If a same-day slot isn't possible, we tell you honestly and give you the soonest time we have.
When you reach us, it helps to tell us what happened and when, which tooth or area hurts, whether there is swelling or fever, what medicines you take, and whether the visit is for you or your child. You can message us on WhatsApp at the same number.
Call or text (786) 579-0521 and tell us what happened. We hold same-day times Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. If you have swelling, a fever, trouble swallowing or breathing, heavy bleeding or an injury to the face, go to the ER first.
If it can safely wait, such as a chip that doesn't hurt or a crown that came off without pain, call or text and we'll book the next open time.
There is no single emergency price, because the cost depends on what you need. Calming an infected tooth, smoothing a chipped edge, recementing a crown and treating a cracked tooth are very different visits. Once Dr. Rana has seen the problem, you get your options and their cost in writing before any treatment starts, and you choose what to do.
We accept most major dental insurance. What a plan pays toward urgent care depends on the plan itself, any waiting periods and how much of your yearly maximum is left. We check your benefits for you. For what insurance doesn't cover, 0% financing is available on approved credit through CareCredit, Cherry and LendingClub; see financing for details.

Dr. Aakash Rana, DDS is a general dentist trained at NYU College of Dentistry, with more than $100,000 in continuing education. He plans and treats each case at Prana Dental himself, works with our in-house lab, and refers to a specialist when a case needs one.
For a toothache on its own, a dentist is usually the right place, because the ER can ease pain but generally can't fix the tooth. Go to the ER if the toothache comes with facial swelling and fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading toward your eye or neck.
Rinse with warm water, floss gently to clear anything stuck, and use a cold pack on the cheek. An over-the-counter pain reliever taken as the label directs, if it is safe for you, can help. Don't put a pill directly on the gum, and get the tooth checked even if the pain fades.
It can be. Swelling with fever, trouble swallowing or breathing, or swelling that spreads toward the eye or down the neck needs the ER right away. A small bump on the gum that doesn't hurt is less urgent but still a sign of infection that needs a dentist soon.
A crack that causes sharp pain, bleeding or a loose piece should be seen the same day if possible. A small chip with no pain can usually wait a few days. Either way, avoid chewing on that side until a dentist has looked at it.
If it slides on easily, temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can hold it for a day or two. Never use household or super glue, and don't force it if it doesn't fit. Bring the crown with you so the dentist can check whether it can be reused.
Many plans pay toward part of an urgent visit, but it depends on your plan, waiting periods and how much of your yearly maximum is left. Most major dental insurance is accepted here, so send us your plan details and we check your benefits for you.
