Common Dental Emergencies
Common traumatic dental injuries range from chips and breaks in a tooth to a dislodged or completely knocked-out tooth. Fortunately, our Midtown East Manhattan, NY emergency dental clinic has the technology, knowledge and skills necessary to address all of your traumatic injuries and to preserve your oral health. In most cases, endodontic treatment will be necessary in order to improve the health of the damaged tooth.
A root canal will be recommended if the injury has affected or damaged the
nerve of the tooth in any way. In most cases, if you are experiencing dental
pain this is due to a damaged nerve inside the tooth. In order to stop the
pain, we will need to remove the nerve.
