Is my problem an emergency?

Call your New York City emergency dentist immediately if you experience any of these dental problems:

  • Severe Pain: Severe pain is never normal. It can occur due to a large cavity, crack in your tooth, dental abscess, or even advanced gum disease. Ignoring pain won't make it go away and can even lead to complications in some cases. For example, if you ignore an abscessed tooth, the infection may spread to other parts of your body, including your heart or brain. In addition to antibiotics, you'll also need a root canal to save your abscessed tooth.
  • Broken Tooth: Teeth can become broken or cracked after falls or accidents. If your tooth is broken or you experience pain after a blow to your face, get in touch with your dentist as soon as possible. Adding a crown to the tooth will not only ease your pain, but it will also restore your normal chewing ability. Although you'll probably receive a temporary crown after your injury, your permanent crown will be ready in about two weeks.
  • Knocked Out or Loose Tooth: Did you know that it may be possible to re-implant a knocked out tooth as long as you see an emergency dentist within an hour after your injury? If this occurs to you, rinse your knocked out tooth with water and put it back in the socket if you can. If it won't fit, place it between your teeth or gums or in a closed container filled with your saliva. Your dentist may use a splint to support your knocked out or loose tooth and may also recommend a root canal and antibiotics.
  • Lacerations: Injuries can cause lacerations to your gums, mouth, and face. These injuries require specialized treatment from your emergency dentist for proper healing.
