Don’t endure an urgent dental problem when emergency care is only a phone call away. We treat numerous emergencies each week and offer same-day appointments to relieve your discomfort and set you on the road to recovery quickly.
Accidents can happen, leading to broken, fractured, or chipped teeth. It’s crucial to seek dental care after an accident, even if you don’t feel pain or see visible injuries. A fractured tooth can be treated effectively if addressed early, but if left untreated, it may lead to decay and infection down the line.
Delaying treatment for a dental injury increases the risk of permanent damage. Even a knocked-out tooth can often be saved if you visit The Art of Smile dental office right away. Dental injuries from accidents aren’t the only oral health emergencies you may encounter. If you experience a sudden, severe toothache, it’s important to seek dental care immediately. Toothaches can result from various issues such as cavities, loose fillings, or root infections, all of which signal that the tooth is in distress and could indicate a more serious oral health problem.
While a toothache may sometimes seem to disappear on its own, that doesn’t mean the issue is resolved. The pain subsiding could be a sign of nerve damage, highlighting the need for prompt treatment. If you're facing a dental emergency, we’re here to help. Call us today at (973) 845-9955 to schedule a same-day or weekend emergency appointment to relieve your pain and receive the necessary care.
Finding yourself in a situation where your temporary crown has fallen off can be alarming, but rest assured, it's a common occurrence in the world of emergency dentistry. The first step is to retrieve the crown and keep it safe, as it might be possible to reattach it temporarily until you can see your dentist. Clean the crown and the tooth gently with a toothbrush and lukewarm water to remove any debris. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive.
Next, you can try to reattach the crown yourself using dental cement, which is available at most pharmacies. This is a temporary fix, but it can help protect the exposed tooth and prevent any discomfort from sensitivity. Apply a small amount of dental cement inside the crown and place it back on the tooth, ensuring it fits snugly. Bite down gently to secure it in place.
It's crucial to contact your dentist as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for a more permanent solution. At The Art of Smile, Dr. Zev Segal and his team are well-versed in handling such emergencies and can provide you with the care you need to restore your smile promptly.
