Fire Department in Fort Lauderdale
It’s here: fresh news, dental tips, and insights

A recent experience at Denteast reminded us just how fortunate we are to have dedicated first responders serving Fort Lauderdale.
The other day, one of our neighbors walked into Denteast in Downtown Fort Lauderdale and told us he wasn’t feeling well.
We could immediately see that something wasn’t right. He appeared uncomfortable and was having difficulty settling down, so our team asked him to sit, gave him a glass of water, and calmly tried to understand what he was experiencing.
He told us he had been under considerable stress and anxiety and simply didn’t feel right.
Because Denteast is a healthcare environment, we were able to check his blood pressure as part of our initial response. The reading, together with how he was feeling, made it clear that the appropriate next step was to get emergency medical professionals involved.
We asked if he was comfortable with us calling 911.
He said yes.
Lisa immediately picked up the phone, called for help, and explained what was happening. While waiting for emergency responders to arrive, she stayed by the man’s side, checking on him and communicating with him in Spanish to help him feel calm and supported.
And Then We Saw Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue in Action
The response impressed all of us.
Within minutes, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue personnel arrived with the resources needed to assess the situation. Their team immediately began speaking with our neighbor, asking questions, checking vital signs, and carrying out an initial medical evaluation.
There was no confusion. No unnecessary commotion.
Just people who clearly knew their jobs.
They were organized, calm, prepared, knowledgeable, and reassuring. What stood out just as much as their efficiency was the human side of their response. They communicated with our neighbor, helped him understand what was happening, and created a sense that he was in capable hands.
The situation was handled appropriately, our neighbor received the attention he needed, and we were very happy to see that everything turned out well.
For our team, it was an opportunity to see firsthand what Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue means when it says:
“Ready for the call. Here for the community.”

More Than 100 Years of Serving Fort Lauderdale
There is an impressive organization behind those few minutes we witnessed.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue was established in 1912, beginning as a volunteer organization and evolving into the full-service fire and rescue agency serving the community today. It currently serves Fort Lauderdale as well as Wilton Manors and Lazy Lake.
The department operates from 12 fire stations and responds to more than 55,000 calls for service annually (15 calls a day). Its responsibilities extend far beyond fighting fires. Firefighters, paramedics, lifeguards, emergency managers, inspectors, and support professionals prepare throughout the year for emergency medical calls, fires, severe weather, disasters, hazardous-material incidents, technical rescues, marine and dive rescues, and other emergencies.
And the equipment behind those teams is substantial. The City lists a response fleet that includes 12 fire suppression units, three aerial ladder trucks, 17 medical rescue units, a heavy rescue squad, an airport response truck, a hazardous-materials unit, and two fireboats. Apparatus and medical equipment are inspected daily, while crews continually train, maintain certifications, study buildings and hazards, and practice specialized rescue techniques.
That last part resonated with us.
When an emergency happens, the preparation isn’t beginning at that moment. It happened long before the call was made.
And when you see professionals arrive prepared, with the right people, equipment, training, and protocols, you understand why that preparation matters.

A Very Fort Lauderdale Kind of Service
There is another reason the scope of Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue is particularly interesting.
This is a city built around both land and water. FLFR’s specialized capabilities include marine and dive rescue, technical rescue, hazardous-material response, aircraft rescue and firefighting, and SWAT medical support. The department also leads the City’s emergency preparedness and disaster-response efforts—an especially important responsibility in South Florida, where hurricane and severe-weather preparedness are part of community life.
Its Ocean Rescue operation also staffs 20 lifeguard towers seven days a week, helping protect more than 3.5 million beach visitors annually.
There’s even a piece of this history Fort Lauderdale residents can explore themselves. The Fort Lauderdale Fire & Safety Museum is housed in the restored 1927 Station #3 at 1022 West Las Olas Boulevard. The museum preserves vintage firefighting equipment, memorabilia, and stories while also providing education about fire safety, emergency medical response, and severe-weather preparedness.

Sometimes Helping Has Nothing to Do With Teeth
The experience also reminded us of something important about what it means to operate a healthcare practice within a neighborhood.
Yes, Denteast is a dental office.
But we’re also neighbors, parents, friends, family members, healthcare professionals, and members of the Fort Lauderdale community.
When somebody walks through our door asking for help, our first question isn’t whether they have a dental appointment.
It’s simply:
How can we help?
Sometimes that means offering someone a chair and a glass of water.
Sometimes, helping someone can be as simple as offering a chair and a glass of water.
And this isn’t the first time we’ve done that. Especially during the hot South Florida summer, we often see people walking from business to business, promoting their services, making deliveries, carrying packages, or simply doing their jobs in the heat. They come through our doors tired, hot, and sometimes just needing a moment to catch their breath.
So we ask, “Would you like a glass of water? Do you need a minute to cool down?”
It’s a small gesture, but that’s exactly the point.
Whether you’re our patient, a delivery driver carrying heavy packages, someone introducing a local business, or simply a neighbor who walks through our door—we see you. We’re all people before we’re customers, employees, businesses, or job titles.
Community care doesn’t always require something extraordinary. Sometimes it starts with noticing the person in front of you and doing something as simple as offering a glass of water, a comfortable place to sit, and a moment to feel welcome.
Small gestures matter. That’s where community starts.
Sometimes it means checking what we can appropriately check. Sometimes it means recognizing that the situation requires a different level of medical attention and calling the professionals trained and equipped to provide it.
That’s where community works best: people helping people, and knowing when to call on one another.
We are incredibly grateful to the Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue professionals who responded that day. Your speed, preparedness, organization, knowledge, equipment, communication, and-above all-your care for another human being did not go unnoticed.
We see you.
We appreciate what you do.
And we’re happy to know that when Fort Lauderdale calls, you’re ready.

What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Sunny and her team were amazing. I got to experience Denteast for the first time last week. Check-in was a breeze with Shania, Lisa was thorough with my teeth exam and photos, and received a detailed consult and helpful information during routine cleaning with Dr. Sunny. I will definitely come back.
Dr. Sunny is vibrant and pleasant to work with. Her entire team is friendly and polite. The doctor took her time explaining everything that I needed done. The hygienist was patient and thorough, the x-ray technician was friendly and good natured and the front desk lady was hospitable and professional. I'm happy to have found my new dental office and I hope this office thrives.
Whole experience was great. Thorough exam and in depth discussion of all my issues. Then a few days later Sunny fixed them all. Hygienist was very thorough as well. Nice new facility as well. And got free Ev charging both visits.
I had such a wonderful experience in here! The office is beautiful, bright, impeccably clean, and very well organized. Gresia, the hygienist, is phenomenal, she was incredibly gentle and thorough, and my teeth have never felt so clean! The doctor is highly professional while also being warm, friendly, and having a great sense of humor. The entire team made me feel comfortable and truly at home. I highly recommend this office
What a great office, cleanest one I have ever seen-almost going to a spa. I completely trust them. A+
Amazing experience! Gresia and the entire team were incredibly kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt very well taken care of. Definitely one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to denteast for completely transforming my smile!Dr. Sunny is an absolute magician. I went in for Invisalign and the results exceeded every expectation I had. Not only was the Invisalign process smooth and seamless from start to finish, but the work she did repairing my chipped teeth is pure artistry. You cannot even tell where the damage used to be and my smile is infinitely better. It has completely changed in the best way possible.A huge shoutout to Lisa as well for handling my teeth whitening! She did an incredible job, and my teeth are brighter and more vibrant than they’ve ever been. She was so gentle, thorough, and made the whole appointment an absolute breeze.Beyond the amazing treatments, the entire office staff is top-tier. From the front desk to the dental assistants, everyone is incredibly welcoming, kind, professional, and attentive. They make you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you walk through the door.If you are looking for a dental team that delivers world-class results while making every visit a great experience, this is your place!

The dentist and hygienists were just as amazing—so gentle, thorough, and they explained everything perfectly. Highly recommend this office!"
Today was my third visit to Denteast and I have to tell you every visit has been amazing. When you walk in the door, not only is it a top notch, state of the art beautiful office, you are always greeted with smiling faces. Had my 6 month cleaning today and the hygienist took her time, explained everything she was doing and did a very thorough job. I LOVE this place!!! Even if you are not in need of a new dentist you should give them a try. You will not be disappointed.
Just visited Dr. Sunny the first time and I’ve had a great experience. Everyone in the office was super friendly, professional, and making my visit very comfortable and welcoming. Dr. Sunny is very knowledgeable, took the time to explain things clearly to me, and never made me feel rushed. I really appreciate the quality of care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dentist. She is the best!
I wasn’t able to smile before, but since I met Dr. Sunny and team, all of that has changed. I’m very proud of the dental work that I received under the care of Dr. Sunny. Such a huge change in my life this has made. I’m smiling and I’m happy. 😃
This place is awesome. I had to switch dentists while in the middle of Invisalign, and they handled everything without any stress at all. Everyone here is super nice, appointments are easy to get, and they don’t try to upsell you on things you don’t need. Hands down the best dental office I’ve found in Fort Lauderdale.
Absolutely amazing service. I was treated incredibly well and felt taken care of the entire time. The place is top class — super professional, spotless, and truly high quality. I highly recommend it! Special shoutout to Lisa - Shania and Suncica.

Have been going to Denteast since pretty much it opened. Sunny and her team are the best Dental team anyone can ask for. Always make sure my Dental health is optimal and clearly explain any irregularities or any questions I may have. Always a blast to visit which is not normal in my experiences in Dentist office in the past. Highly recommended!
Dr. Sunny and her team are truly exceptional, providing not only top-notch orthodontic and dental care but also a warm, personable experience that makes every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking outstanding dental care!
Excellent service! Staff are very welcoming and professional. I feel well taken care of.
Had a wonderful experience at this dental office today. Dr. Sunny was incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The office is spotless and very well maintained, and the entire staff is warm, caring, and welcoming. You can really tell they prioritize patient comfort and quality care. Highly recommended! I am glad I finally found a dental office I can trust.
Dr. Sunny and her team are amazing! I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and am so happy I found them. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, comfortable, and educated on anything they were doing with my teeth. So happy to have them so close by and would definitely recommend!
I’m truly impressed by the organization of the office, the protocols, the technology, and last but certainly not least, Dr. Sunny’s expertise. I had no idea that she graduated from two universities, both in Europe and here in the States, and that she has been practicing dentistry for around than 15 years. That level of dedication and experience is genuinely impressive! I’m so grateful that I was taken care of during my short trip to Fort Lauderdale, and honestly, I’m very happy that Denteast exists.l! The entire team made me feel welcomed, informed, and comfortable throughout the entire process.Thank you, Denteast team, for everything!Much Love 💕
It almost feels embarrassing to admit that I assumed emergency dental care was automatically going to be extremely expensive and stressful. But the Denteast team completely changed my perspective. They explained somethnig that actually makes perfect sense: emergency dentistry should be looked at like a high-quality organic sandwich or healthy meal essential, accessible, fair, and there WHEN you truly need it. The prices were surprisingly fair, the care was exceptional, and the entire experience felt transparent and human. I was “today years old” when I realized that dentistry can actually feel approachable and supportive instead of intimidating. Thank you, Denteast team, for everything. I highly recommend them!
Wonderful staff, beautiful office, quality care. Highly recommend to all my friends and family.
My experience with Denteast was seamless from start to finish. Everyone I interacted with - Shania, Lisa, Gresia, & Dr. Sunny - was fantastic. It had been a while since my last cleaning, & they were very thorough when it came to really examining my teeth & doing the cleaning. Truly the nicest dentists’ office I’ve been to. It feels like a spa experience that Cigna actually covers hahah. Would definitely recommend!
Highly recommend! From the moment I walked into DentEast, I knew that I came to the right place. When I entered the reception area, Shania’s greeting made me feel like a celebrity. How cool is that! The office is spotless with state of the art equipment and the entire staff is awesome. I am terrified of the teeth cleaning process and in the past have shed some tears. The hygienist (Gresia) is wonderful! She talked me through the process, was gently and thorough. I can honestly tell you it was painless. This team of professionals worked together to make my experience memorable and left a lasting impression on me. I am looking forward to my next visit, have referred others and will recommend DentEast to everyone I come in contact with. Thank you for providing quality service with a smile!
I love Dr.Sunny,she has been my dentist for over 10 year's. She is amazing, love her new practice,the office staff are wonderful, they make you feel so comfortable and relax. If you're looking for a new dentist I highly recommend her.
Beautiful office, friendly staff, high-end equipment, and care centered about the patient

Examination Xray’s Extraction was done outstanding/ painless/ team is amazing!!! Dr Sunny is my favorite tooth fairy now )thank you so much again!!!
As nervous as I was going to the dentist in such a long time I felt in a better place after I got my teeth cleaned, polished and then worked out a plan with Dr. Sunny, she was incredibly reassuring and made me feel at ease. After that they worked out a plan for me and scheduled my next visit. Thank you!!!
Dr. Sunny has a special gift for calming your nerves and making you feel more like a person than just a patient. We always felt confident and cared for, knowing we're in safe hands throughout our procedure. My wife and I drove 45 minutes yesterday to see her, and we wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
Great people and beautiful office with brand new equipment. Everyone there is very professional and on time with appointments. Highly recommended!
