What to Do In a Dental Emergency

If you find yourself facing a dental emergency, staying calm and acting quickly can make a real difference. For a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown, rinse it gently, and keep it moist in milk until you can be seen. For a broken tooth, save any fragments and rinse your mouth with warm water. A cold compress on the outside of your cheek can ease swelling and pain, and an over-the-counter pain reliever may help until your appointment. Whatever the situation, call our office at (201) 568-6688 as soon as you can, and our team will walk you through your next steps.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Not every dental problem is an emergency, but some need prompt attention to protect your health and your smile. Severe or lasting tooth pain, noticeable swelling, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, and bleeding that will not stop should all be treated as urgent. Minor concerns, such as slight sensitivity or a small chip with no pain, can often wait for a regular appointment. When you are unsure, it is always best to reach out, and we will help you decide whether you need to be seen right away.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Dental emergencies come in many forms, and knowing what you are dealing with can help you respond with confidence. Some need immediate attention to save a tooth or stop an infection, while others simply call for prompt care to ease discomfort. Here are some of the most common emergencies we treat at Starik Dental Studio.

Toothaches and Infections

Persistent or severe tooth pain can signal decay, infection, or an abscess that needs prompt attention. We work to identify the source quickly, relieve your discomfort, and treat the underlying problem before it worsens.

Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth

A cracked, chipped, or knocked-out tooth needs fast care to give it the best chance of being saved. If you can, keep the tooth moist and contact us right away so we can guide you on next steps.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

A lost filling or crown can leave a tooth vulnerable to damage and sensitivity. We can repair or replace the restoration to protect the tooth and restore comfort and function.

How do I reach you for a dental emergency?

Experiencing a dental emergency? Call (201) 568-6688 right away and our team will help you get the care you need.

Severe tooth pain, swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, and bleeding that will not stop are all considered dental emergencies and should be addressed promptly.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, and keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation kit. Contact us right away, as acting quickly gives the tooth the best chance of being saved.
A cold compress on the outside of your cheek and an over-the-counter pain reliever can help ease discomfort until you are seen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.
