Common Dental Emergencies and How to Handle Them

Dental emergencies can feel stressful, but the good news is that you don't have to panic when you have a dental team you can trust on your side and when you know what to do.

Here are some of the common dental emergencies in Teaneck that we handle and what you can do until we can see you:

• A broken tooth: If your tooth is broken, gather the pieces and contact our Teaneck dental office as soon as possible. If it's chipped, you still may want to have it smoothed so it doesn't irritate your cheek or soft tissues.
• Toothaches or dental pain: Pain is often an indicator of an infected or abscessed tooth. Please don't wait to have your tooth examined since an infection won't resolve independently and could impact neighboring teeth or travel to other parts of your body. 
• A knocked-out tooth: Time is of the essence with a knocked-out tooth. We have the best chance of saving it the sooner we treat it.
• A lost or broken restoration: If you lose a dental filling or crown, we'll need to repair your tooth for you to avoid further damage.

Treating Tooth Emergencies

Some of the treatment procedures that Dr. Shteingart may recommend for dental emergencies are:

• Tooth-colored fillings: Tooth decay can sometimes cause painful emergencies that we can repair with a dental filling.
• Porcelain crowns or veneers: A dental veneer fits over the tooth's front surface, while a crown fits over the entire tooth to repair chips and fractures.
• Dental implants: Tooth implants replace missing teeth with a root and crown, giving you the closest thing to a natural tooth.
• Root canal treatment: If you have an infected or abscessed tooth, root canal treatment eliminates the infection and preserves your natural tooth.
