Meet The Doctors
Emergency Dentist, Dr. Michael Thomasino, DMD
Dr. Thomasino is the owner and founder of Jacksonville Emergency Dental. He is a graduate of the University of Florida, College of Dentistry. After practicing traditional dentistry for several years, he discovered the overwhelming need for urgent dental care in North Florida.

He has now dedicated his career to serving emergency dental patients with quality, affordable and convenient care.
Dr. Thomasino, along with his team of Dental Associates and Assistants, provides exceptional emergency care to patients who have unexpected issues and those who lack comprehensive care. His number one goal is to get the patient out of pain quickly, so they can go on with their daily life. He now operates two locations, open 7-Days a week, to accommodate most dental emergency cases efficiently and effectively.
Dr. Thomasino has stayed active at the University of Florida as a faculty member instructing dental students in the oral surgery clinic in Gainesville. He also continues to support the dental community through memberships in the ADA, FDA, NEDDA and Jacksonville Dental Society (JDS) where he currently serves on the board.
