Dental emergencies happen, and it’s important to have a trusted emergency dentist in Long Island City in your phone contacts to reach out to if and when they occur! Read on to learn about a few possible emergency situations, and how our In-House Dental Savers Plan can give you peace of mind during a dental emergency.
- Swelling & Pain
- Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth
Toothaches, persistent swelling, and/or jaw pain are not normal. We can examine your mouth and determine the root cause of your pain. For example, you may have untreated tooth decay. Or you could have an abscess. This is a pocket of pus inside your tooth caused by a bacterial infection. You may even develop a small pimple-like bubble on the outside of your gums. An abscess will not resolve on its own. Therefore, without urgent treatment, you could lose your tooth. In addition, the infection can spread to other areas of your body.
If your adult tooth is knocked out of your mouth, you need to see us right away! The tooth’s survival depends upon it. Handle your tooth only by its crown (its top). Rinse it gently with milk or water, but do not rub or scrub it with any sort of fabric. Keep your tooth moist in a glass of milk or between your gums and cheek. We may be able to reattach your tooth if it’s preserved properly and you get to our office ASAP.
Fractures, cracks, and breaks in teeth allow bacteria to enter the sensitive inner layer of your tooth, called the pulp. An inflamed or infected pulp will become painful and can lead to a dangerous abscess. Although a chipped tooth may only be a cosmetic fix, it could be accompanied by fracture that you can’t see. Seek treatment soon after a chip, crack, or break occurs (especially if you are experiencing pain!) to prevent more complex treatment later, like root canal therapy.
