Immediate Care for Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, but relief is just a phone call away. Whether you're dealing with sudden pain, a broken tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, we offer same-day appointments to provide immediate care and help you recover quickly.
Accidents can cause chipped, broken, or fractured teeth without warning. Sometimes, the damage isn’t immediately obvious, especially with fractures, so it’s important to seek dental care after any accident—even if you're not in pain. Early treatment can help prevent complications like infection and decay, promoting better long-term health for your teeth.
The sooner you get treatment for a dental injury, the better the chance of preventing permanent damage. Even if a tooth is knocked out, it can often be saved if treated promptly. But dental emergencies aren’t limited to accidents—tooth pain also requires urgent care.
Why Emergency Dental Care Matters
Emergency Care vs. ER Visit: What You Need to Know
While emergency rooms are equipped to handle medical emergencies, they are not designed to treat dental problems. If you go to the ER for a dental issue, they can help manage bleeding and provide pain relief, but they won’t be able to fix the underlying issue, such as a damaged tooth or infection. In most cases, you’ll still need to visit a dentist afterward.
By coming directly to us for emergency care, you avoid unnecessary delays, pain, and additional costs. We offer specialized dental care to treat your issue, prevent further damage, and restore your smile in one visit.
Common Emergency Dental Procedures
Emergency Care for Tooth Damage
Dental injuries can happen in an instant. Whether from a sports injury, accident, or even just a fall, teeth can get cracked or chipped unexpectedly. It's essential to seek prompt care to avoid complications.
At our office, we provide quick solutions for a variety of dental injuries, including cracked, chipped, or even knocked-out teeth. We often use dental bonding—a tooth-colored resin that restores the tooth's shape and function. This procedure can often be completed in just one visit, leaving you with a fully restored tooth. For more serious damage, veneers or crowns may be needed, but these may require a follow-up visit.
If your tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Find the tooth, gently rinse it, and place it in a cup of milk before heading to our office immediately. In many cases, we can reattach the tooth. If that's not possible, we offer options like dental implants, bridges, and dentures to restore the natural look and function of your smile.
Fast Toothache Relief
Toothaches are one of the most common reasons people seek emergency care. Severe tooth pain can be debilitating and disruptive, making it difficult to wait for relief. If you're experiencing pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, or irritation while brushing, it could signal a problem that needs immediate attention.
If you're experiencing these symptoms, don't wait—call us right away at (973) 845-9955 to schedule an appointment. Early intervention can prevent a simple issue from turning into a more serious problem. Most severe toothaches are caused by infection or decay, and may require a root canal to remove infected tissue and restore the tooth. You’ll be numbed for comfort, and most patients experience immediate relief following the procedure. Depending on the extent of the damage, a filling or crown may be needed, which can be done during the same visit or scheduled for a follow-up.
