Emergency Dentist in Old Bridge, NJ
A cracked tooth. Sudden, sharp pain. A knocked-out tooth after an accident. Dental emergencies don't wait for convenient timing — and neither should you.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
- Severe toothache or tooth pain — often a sign of decay, infection, or nerve involvement
- Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth — time matters; call us immediately
- Lost filling or crown
- Swelling, abscess, or facial pain — can indicate a serious infection
- Bleeding or injury to the mouth, gums, or lips
What to Do While You Wait
Knocked-out tooth: Handle it only by the crown (not the root), rinse gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk. Get to us as quickly as possible — ideally within 30–60 minutes.
Severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
Chipped or broken tooth: Save any pieces if possible, rinse with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
This guidance is general first-aid information and isn't a substitute for professional care — please call us or seek emergency medical attention for serious injuries.
