A dental emergency rarely waits for office hours. Message our 24-hour emergency WhatsApp line and Dr. Moisés Lukowiecki will tell you when you can be seen.
What counts as a dental emergency
Some dental problems can wait for a regular appointment. Others cannot. You should treat it as an emergency when you have pain that does not let you sleep, a tooth that was knocked out or broken, swelling in the gum, cheek or jaw, bleeding that does not stop after pressing for fifteen minutes, or a crown or filling that came off and left the tooth exposed and sensitive.
In most of these cases time matters. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved in the first hour. An infection that starts as a small bump on the gum can spread in a few days. And intense pain usually means the nerve of the tooth is inflamed, something an endodontist treats every day.
Why patients in Panama call Dr. Lukowiecki
Dr. Moisés Lukowiecki is a specialist in endodontics and dental trauma with more than 20 years of practice. In other words, the two things that cause most dental emergencies: infected or inflamed nerves, and teeth damaged by a fall, a bite or an accident.
He works at Centro Odontológico Paitilla, inside the Centro Especializado Paitilla on Avenida Balboa and 53rd Street, in Marbella. If your case needs another specialist, such as an oral surgeon or a prosthodontist for a new crown, the team is in the same clinic and your records stay in one place.
How it works
Send a WhatsApp message to +507 6674-4647 with a short description and, if you can, a photo of the area. Dr. Lukowiecki reviews it, calls you back when needed and gives you the first available time. Our patients describe exactly that: a doctor who answers and calls back, even on a weekend.
We speak English. You can explain your symptoms in your own words, and the doctor will explain the diagnosis and the options before any treatment begins.
Before you arrive
What to do right now
- Severe toothacheRinse with warm salt water and take the pain reliever you normally use. Never put aspirin on the gum.
- Knocked-out toothHold it by the crown, keep it in milk and come in within the first hour.
- Broken toothSave the pieces, rinse gently and apply a cold compress on the cheek.
- Lost crown or fillingKeep the crown and do not glue it with household products.
Swelling that spreads to the eye or neck, fever or trouble swallowing: go to a hospital emergency room right away.

What our patients say
★★★★★
I had an emergency on a Sunday and couldn’t find a single dentist in Panama to see me. Dr. Moisés Lukowiecki was the only one who called me back. He saw me right away, did the root canal that same day, and the severe pain was gone.

On a Saturday night I bit down at the movies and broke a premolar. I left the doctor a message that night, he called me back and saw me the next day, a Sunday. In Panama it’s almost impossible to find a dentist on a Sunday.

I had an emergency over the weekend. They solved it quickly and then kept following up on my case. I have rarely found this level of care.

He kept checking on my son the night I contacted him, and saw him first thing the next morning to diagnose him. A kind of doctor that is hard to find.
