When Is a Dental Emergency Urgent?
When Is a Dental
Emergency Urgent?
A dental emergency is any issue requiring immediate care to prevent tooth loss, relieve severe pain, or treat oral injuries. Contact our office right away for next steps.
Severe Toothache
Are you suffering from an extreme toothache? Do you experience extreme, terrorizing tooth pain? If you are experiencing intense and excruciating tooth pain that won't go away on its own or worsens over time, Dr. Lyuba Taft and her team can assess the source of discomfort before providing treatments designed to address it effectively and address underlying problems that could be causing it.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth can be one of the most urgent dental emergencies, yet with proper handling and timely attention, it may still be reinserted and saved. If possible, place the tooth in milk or saline immediately or attempt to place it back into its socket before immediately making your way to Arverne Dental for the best chance of saving it.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
An accident, sports injury, or biting into something hard can leave a broken or chipped tooth vulnerable to infection and discomfort. However, quick intervention can restore structure and function and avoid further complications.
Loose or Dislodged Tooth:
A loose or dislodged tooth could indicate injury or advanced gum disease and requires immediate evaluation in adults to prevent tooth loss. Dr. Taft can assess the state of the tooth and any surrounding tissue to guide the appropriate course of action.
Abscess or Swelling
An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by an infection that forms in either your teeth or gums, often manifesting itself with pain, swelling, and fever. Left untreated, an abscess can spread throughout the body and pose serious health risks; emergency treatment must therefore be sought immediately to drain out and drain out the abscess before infection spreads further posing severe health risks.
Bleeding Gums or Soft Tissue Injury
Soft tissue injuries to your mouth—such as your gums, tongue, or cheeks—can occur as a result of accidents or trauma. If uncontrolled bleeding ensues following such incidents, seek care immediately; persistent gum bleeding could indicate advanced gum disease that needs prompt intervention to avoid further damage to oral structures.
Lost or Damaged Dental Restorations
If you've recently lost or damaged one or more dental restorations—such as crowns, fillings, or inlays—your teeth may become vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, or infection. While replacing or repairing them quickly may seem less urgent, it's still wise to have the restoration replaced immediately to avoid additional complications.

What to Do in a
Dental Emergency
It's important to act immediately if you have any of these symptoms. In the event of an emergency dental situation, here are some steps you can take:
Remain Calm
It’s important to remain calm in stressful situations. Panicking can make the situation worse. Focus on taking slow, deep breaths to help you stay calm and clear-headed. Don't hesitate to seek help from someone you trust or a professional who can provide support and guidance.
Call Arverne Dental
Contact us immediately and explain your emergency. If necessary, we'll book you an appointment for the same day and give you instructions on what to expect in between.
Reduce Pain and Swelling
When experiencing discomfort, it may be helpful to utilize over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to manage pain and reduce swelling. Applying cold compresses to the affected area can also help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, gargling with salt water may relieve throat or mouth pain. It's important to note that aspirin should be avoided as it can increase the risk of bleeding. These measures can offer temporary relief while waiting to seek medical attention.
Handle the Tooth Carefully
After you have knocked out a tooth or chipped it, gently rinse it in water by picking it up at the crown. Place it back into the socket if possible, or store it in milk until you get to our office.

This place is incredible!! Very professional, they always think about the well-being of their patients and providing quality service. Today I had a dental cleaning, and the hygienist Faten was very professional and kind, she made sure the cleaning was not uncomfortable or painful. They always use high-quality equipment. And the dental assistant Patricia is very friendly and attentive!! I’m so grateful for this place!! They even had me spin the prize wheel, and I won $50 off my procedure today!! I recommend them 1,000,000%!
Dr. Taft is very knowledgeable. She gave me the best course of action for my treatment . What I loved most is that she gave me all options and explain each one and answered all my questions with patience and kindness. Thank you Dr. Taft.
I had a great experience here at Averne Dental. Dr. Taft and Jean were both very helpful in explaining treatment for cavities, and also going over payment plans. They are very flexible with payments and were super informative! They actually made me feel excited to come back for my treatment. Definitely would recommend going here!
100% recommended — they have advanced technology, are very accurate when evaluating, and extremely professional. The dental assistant, Patricia, is very diligent and empathetic. Dr. Anastasia is exceptionally precise and professional; she saved one of my teeth from a root canal treatment. I loved the service and dedication!!!
Everything about this Dental office is outstanding, you know it the moment you walk in! It's very clean, smells great and the staff is friendly. Love Arverne Dental!
My first visit at Arverne dental was yesterday. I was impressed with the office, quality of treatment and staff. The office is clean and modern. Everything is high tech, modern technology. While you get your treatment, you will be watching a show from flat screen televisions. There was a television on the ceiling, so I did not miss out on my show when I had to lean back for treatment. The staff was attentive and courteous. I was provided extensive education on my symptoms and treatment- the staff even pulled up a video to explain my symptoms. I reccomend Arverne dental if you are looking for high tech, modern facility, friendly staff and experts in their field.
