Emergency Dentist in Manhattan, NYC

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency involves any oral health issue that causes significant pain, disrupts function, or risks permanent damage if not treated promptly. Situations that warrant seeing an emergency dentist include:

• Intense toothache or lingering sensitivity
• Broken, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
• Swelling of the face, gums, or jaw
• Bleeding that doesn’t stop
• Lost or damaged crowns or fillings
• Signs of infection, such as pus, fever, or a bad taste
• Trauma from sports, falls, or accidents

If you’re unsure whether your issue qualifies, it’s always best to call. We can guide you over the phone and determine the urgency of your visit.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Until you reach our office, here are a few tips:

• For a knocked-out tooth: Keep it moist in milk or saline, and avoid touching the root.
• For swelling: Apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation.
• For bleeding: Apply steady pressure with gauze.
• For lost fillings or crowns: Use temporary dental cement from a pharmacy until you can be seen.
• For toothaches: Rinse with warm salt water and avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.

In the case of facial trauma, unconsciousness, or difficulty breathing, go to the nearest emergency room first, then contact our office for follow-up care.
