Why Choose an Emergency Dentist Instead of the ER?
Hospital emergency rooms are designed for medical emergencies, and most are not equipped to repair teeth. You may leave with a prescription and a referral, but the problem itself will still be there. Our emergency dentist can diagnose and treat the source of your pain, from root canal therapy and extractions to crowns and bonding.
Urgent Dental Problems We Can Help With
Middle Village residents most often call us for:
- Root Canal Emergencies: Deep decay or cracks can inflame the nerve, causing intense, lingering pain.
- Tooth Extractions: When a tooth can't be saved, we remove it gently to stop the pain and infection.
- Broken Teeth: We repair chips and fractures with bonding or crowns to restore strength.
- Gum Pain and Swelling: Tender, swollen gums around a tooth can be a sign of a spreading infection.
- Loose Teeth: A tooth that suddenly feels loose after an injury needs prompt stabilization.
Tips to Ease the Pain Before Your Appointment
Here's what you can do while you wait to see us:
- Rinse with Salt Water: Half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water can help clean the area.
- Apply a Cold Compress: Cold helps reduce swelling and numb the pain; use it for 15 minutes at a time.
- Watch for Serious Symptoms: If swelling makes it hard to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest emergency room right away.
