(718) 948-1600NAVIGATING COMMON DENTAL EMERGENCIES
Providing immediate care is crucial for safeguarding your long-term oral health. Some of the more common dental emergencies that we can treat include:
Symptoms can range from mild dental sensitivity to throbbing, shooting, dull, and radiating pain. Treatment may involve a tooth-colored filling, root canal therapy, or a dental crown.
Tooth damage can occur because of something you eat, due to rough play, or even as a result of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Treatment options include dental bonding, root canal therapy, or a dental crown.
This type of damage typically occurs from a fall or other facial injury. Dr. Cipriano will aim to salvage your natural tooth; otherwise, dental implants or bridges may be considered.
Safely attempt removal with dental floss. If unsuccessful, contact our office for assistance.
Preserve broken parts of fillings or crowns and contact us immediately. Our state-of-the-art lab can create strong, durable, customized restorations to help repair your smile.

DENTAL EMERGENCY FAQS
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, injuries to the teeth or gums, knocked-out teeth, and issues causing significant pain or bleeding.
How do I know if my situation is an emergency?
If you experience severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or have a dental issue that disrupts normal functioning, it may be an emergency.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Preserve the tooth, avoid touching the root, gently rinse, and try to reinsert it. If not possible, store it in milk or your saliva and seek immediate dental attention.
Is a chipped tooth considered an emergency?
While a chipped tooth may not always be an emergency, if it causes severe pain or exposes the nerve, it requires prompt attention.
Can I wait until normal hours for a dental emergency?
In some cases, waiting may worsen the situation. Contact us immediately, and we will advise on the urgency of your situation.
What if I have severe tooth pain?
Severe tooth pain may indicate an infection or abscess. Contact us immediately for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
How can I manage dental pain at home temporarily?
Over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, and avoiding hot or cold foods can help manage dental pain temporarily. However, professional evaluation is crucial.
Is a lost filling or crown an emergency?
While not always an emergency, a lost filling or crown should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to the tooth.
Can I use over-the-counter dental cement for a temporary fix?
Over-the-counter dental cement may provide a temporary solution for a lost crown or filling, but professional attention is necessary for a permanent fix.
Do dental emergencies cost more?
The cost of dental emergencies varies and the specific treatment required will influence the overall cost.
