Emergency Dental Care
The Importance Of Immediate Care
Same-Day Appointments Available
At Dental Wellness, Dr. Moses offers same-day appointments at both our Midtown Manhattan and Bergen County, NJ offices. We understand how painful, uncomfortable, and inconvenient it can be to suffer from a serious dental injury or oral health condition, which is why we will always do our best to see you as soon as possible. Call Bergen County office now if you need immediate, same-day dental care.
Same-day care is very important for several reasons. First, it allows you to get relief from your pain and discomfort so that you can get back to your day-to-day life. It also helps you avoid future complications. The longer you wait to get help for a dental injury or emergency, the more severe the issue will become.
In the long run, this also saves you time and money. If you have a chipped tooth, for example, immediate treatment with a dental crown can help you avoid complications like tooth decay or a tooth infection. So don’t wait. Schedule your consultation now and get the help you need.
Understanding Common Issues
What Qualifies As A Dental Emergency?
There are many other issues that may demand same-day treatment, such as a pulled-out crown or filling, a serious toothache that won’t go away, or even gums that are bleeding heavily.
As a rule of thumb, if you think your condition qualifies as an emergency, you’re probably right. We recommend contacting our dentist in Bergen County to talk about your issue with our dental team. They can provide a recommendation, and help you schedule a same-day appointment, if necessary.
What To Do In
A Dental Emergency
First things first, call our dentist in Midtown. You need to discuss your situation with our team and schedule a same-day appointment right away.
Then, if you have lost a tooth, recover it by grabbing the top of the tooth. Rinse it off and replace it in the socket, or put it in a container of cold milk to bring it into our office. If you’ve lost a piece of dental work, put it in a plastic baggie.
You can absorb blood with clean paper towels or gauze, and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help with pain. Applying an ice pack can also help with discomfort.
Above all else, make sure to come to Dental Wellness in Bergen as soon as you can to get the emergency care you need. The above steps will only provide temporary relief, so you need to see Dr. Moses right away.
