When to seek emergency dental care
Some signs mean the assessment should not wait: severe or persistent toothache, swelling in the face or gums, a broken, cracked or loose tooth after a blow, a filling or crown that came off, persistent bleeding and sores caused by braces. Putting it off usually makes the problem worse — and early treatment is, in general, simpler. If you have facial swelling with fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to a hospital emergency room first.
Until your appointment: avoid self-medicating, do not put anything on the tooth and avoid chewing on the painful side. You will find more guidance in the frequently asked questions below.
What happens after the emergency?
Once the pain is under control, the next step is to understand the cause and plan the definitive treatment calmly — from root canal treatment to a gum assessment or a complete check-up. See all treatments on the treatments page.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
+
Situations that should not wait: severe or persistent toothache, swelling in the face or gums, a tooth that is broken or loose after an injury, a filling or crown that came off, persistent bleeding, and a bracket or wire from braces hurting your mouth. If in doubt, send a message describing how you feel and we will tell you the best way forward.
Can I be seen for an emergency on the same day?
+
The schedule runs every day, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., which improves the chance of a quick appointment — often on the same day. Availability is confirmed on the spot via WhatsApp at +55 (11) 97409-7834, always by appointment.
Can I book an emergency appointment online?
+
Yes. With the "Book" button on this website or on the Google profile, you can see the open times for the day and book yourself, with no phone call needed (the booking page is in Portuguese). If the pain is severe or there is swelling, also send a WhatsApp message describing how you feel so the team can guide you to the most suitable time.
Are you open in the evening and on weekends?
+
Yes. Patients are seen Monday to Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. — including Saturdays, Sundays and evenings, when many dental offices in the area are closed.
What should I do about a toothache until my appointment?
+
Avoid self-medicating and do not put home remedies on the tooth. Clean the area gently, avoid very hot, cold or hard foods and get care as soon as possible: pain is a sign that something needs treatment, and putting it off usually makes things worse.
My tooth broke. What should I do?
+
Keep the broken piece (if there is one) in a clean container, preferably in saline solution or milk, and seek care quickly. Avoid chewing on that side. The sooner the assessment, the more treatment options there usually are for the tooth.
Does a toothache always mean a root canal?
+
No. Pain can have many causes: a cavity, sensitivity, inflamed gums, a cracked tooth or clenching. Only a clinical assessment (sometimes with an X-ray) can identify the cause and the treatment — which is not always a root canal.
Is emergency care private?
+
Yes. This is a private practice and patients are seen by appointment; dental insurance plans are not accepted. Payment terms are explained transparently when you get in touch, before any decision.
