Emergency Dentist White Plains NY
We understand that a dental emergency sometimes occurs, and when you’re in pain you want to get in fast.
Perhaps you cracked a tooth, broke a dental bridge, or woke up with a sharp toothache.
At The Dental Design Center in White Plains, NY, we reserve time slots every morning and afternoon for emergency dental care visits.
This means that you can almost always get an emergency dentistry appointment on the same day you call, at a time that’s convenient for you, without interrupting the care of our other patients.
If emergency and toothache appointments are full, emergency dentist Dr. Handschuh can arrange a time after regular business hours to take care of your emergency dental care as soon as possible.
Types of Dental Emergencies
- Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Teeth: If you have broken or chipped a permanent adult tooth, it is important that you seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. A cracked or fractured tooth is a very common dental injury that can only be permanently repaired by a dentist. Depending on the severity of the damage, your dentist will likely recommend a dental filling, bonding or a tooth crown to both repair and restore the appearance of the cracked or chipped tooth.
- Knocked Out Tooth: If you have knocked out one of your teeth, we may be able to fix it for you without the need for any complicated dental procedures. If you can preserve the tooth in a glass of milk and get to your emergency dentist as soon as possible, we may be able to place it back into its socket without issue. If it is too late for this or you have lost the tooth, your emergency dentist near Scarsdale will discuss with you tooth replacement options for missing teeth.
- Toothache or Tooth Pain: If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, contact our emergency dentist in White Plains, NY to get relief fast! A toothache may be a symptom of another dental issue, such as a tooth infection, that could require more urgent dental care. Don’t wait to see your dentist if you are suffering from severe or frequent tooth pain.
- Tooth Infection or Abscess: A tooth infection or a dental abscess occurs when there is a bacterial infection in part of the tooth. A tooth infection can be painful and spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. If you are experiencing tooth pain, it may be a sign that you have a tooth infection and need to schedule an appointment with your emergency dentist in Westchester County right away.
