Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Our experienced team can handle a wide range of dental emergencies, including:

• Severe Tooth Pain: Often resulting from infections or deep decay, requiring immediate attention. Our dentists relieve pain quickly while identifying and treating the underlying cause to prevent further issues.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: If treated promptly, quick action can often save the tooth. We guide you through preservation steps and perform immediate care to improve your chances of saving the tooth.
• Broken or Chipped Teeth: Damage to teeth that can lead to further complications if not addressed. Our team restores the tooth’s appearance and function to protect your long-term oral health.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed teeth can become vulnerable to additional damage or infection. We replace or repair restorations promptly to shield the tooth and avoid further discomfort.
• Abscesses or Swollen Gums are signs of infection that may require urgent care to prevent spread. Our doctors use advanced imaging to locate and treat the infection before it affects your overall health.

“What Should I Do While I’m Waiting?”

If you need emergency dentistry in New York and can’t see us immediately, taking the right steps at home can help minimize pain and prevent further damage. Follow these simple tips to protect your teeth and stay comfortable until you arrive at our office.

• Apply a Cold Compress: If you’re experiencing swelling or trauma, place a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. This reduces inflammation and temporarily numbs the area.
• Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: Use medications like ibuprofen to manage pain. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can cause burns.
• Save the Tooth or Fragment: If a tooth gets knocked out, gently rinse it and try placing it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and bring it with you.
• Avoid eating on the Affected Side: Chewing can worsen pain or damage. Stick to soft foods and avoid very hot or very cold drinks.
• Keep the Area Clean: Gently brush around the affected tooth if possible, and avoid using alcohol-based mouthwash, which may irritate the area.
• Stay Calm, and contact us as soon as possible. Our team at Glassman Dental Care is here to help you through it.
• Rinse Your Mouth: Use warm salt water to cleanse the area gently. This helps reduce bacteria and soothe discomfort until you reach our office.
