What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is anything causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or risk of permanent damage to a tooth. If any of the following apply, call our office immediately — don’t wait until tomorrow:

  • A tooth that has been knocked out (avulsed)
  • Severe, throbbing tooth pain that over-the-counter pain relievers don’t control
  • Visible swelling of the gum, jaw, or face — possible signs of a dental abscess
  • A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth, especially with sharp edges or exposed nerve
  • A lost filling or crown leaving the tooth exposed and sensitive
  • Bleeding from the mouth that won’t stop with gentle pressure
  • A dental injury after a fall, sports accident, or auto collision
  • Soft-tissue injury to the cheek, tongue, or lips with persistent bleeding
  • A tooth that has been pushed loose or out of alignment

If you’re experiencing facial swelling that’s spreading toward your eye or down your neck, or you’re having difficulty breathing or swallowing, this is a medical emergency. Go to your nearest ER immediately, then call us to coordinate dental follow-up.

Common dental emergencies we treat same-day

Knocked-out tooth (avulsed tooth)

A tooth that has been completely knocked out can often be saved if we see you within 30 to 60 minutes. Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with milk or saline if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk and call us right away.

Severe toothache or abscess

A sudden, severe toothache often means infection. We can prescribe antibiotics, drain an abscess if needed, and either perform a root canal or extraction depending on the tooth’s condition.

Broken or chipped tooth

For a small chip, we can often smooth and bond the tooth the same day. For a larger fracture, we may place a temporary crown to protect the tooth until a permanent restoration is ready.

Lost filling or crown

If you’ve lost a filling or your crown has come off, we can re-cement or replace it. In the meantime, avoid chewing on that side and keep the area clean.

Cracked or fractured molar

A cracked molar can be painful especially when biting. We’ll evaluate whether bonding, a crown, or root canal therapy is the right next step.

Soft-tissue injuries

Cuts to the lip, tongue, or cheek that won’t stop bleeding need professional care. We can suture and provide instructions for healing.

What to do right now

  1. Call us at (718) 368-3368. Describe what’s happening in plain words — we’ll triage over the phone and tell you what to do next.
  2. Manage pain and bleeding. Cold compress on the outside of the face for swelling. Gentle pressure with clean gauze on bleeding. Over-the-counter ibuprofen for pain if you can take it.
  3. Preserve any knocked-out tooth. Milk or saline storage. Don’t scrub the root. Try to be at our office within an hour.
  4. Bring your insurance card and ID. We accept 18 major insurance plans (full list below).
  5. Arrive at 2384 Ocean Ave. We’re easily accessible from Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, Midwood, Gravesend, Manhattan Beach, and Bensonhurst.

Our same-day emergency process

  1. Call and describe the problem. We’ll listen, give you immediate guidance, and find the soonest open slot — usually today.
  2. Quick check-in on arrival. Bring insurance and ID. Paperwork is short for emergencies.
  3. Diagnostic exam and X-ray. We need to see what’s actually happening before we treat — typically 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Pain relief first. If you’re in significant discomfort, we address the pain before anything else.
  5. Treatment. Depending on the case: a filling, a temporary crown, a root canal, an extraction, antibiotics, or a referral if surgical care beyond our scope is needed.
  6. Aftercare plan. Written instructions plus a callback the next day to check on you.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

For most emergencies during our open hours (Mon–Fri 9 AM – 7 PM), we can see you the same day — often within an hour or two of your call. Call (718) 368-3368 to find the earliest available slot.

Do you treat emergencies on weekends or after hours?

Our office is closed Saturday and Sunday and after 7 PM on weekdays. If you have a true after-hours emergency please leave us a voicemail and proceed to your nearest emergency room if the situation can’t wait until we open.

How much does an emergency dental visit cost?

Cost depends on the diagnosis and treatment. A basic emergency exam plus X-ray is usually $75 to $200 before insurance. Most of our insurance plans cover emergency exams. We’ll explain the cost before we begin treatment — no surprises.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

We accept cash and credit cards, and we partner with CareCredit so you can split payments into monthly installments. Talk to our front desk — we’ll work with you.

My tooth was knocked out. What should I do?

Pick the tooth up by the crown (the chewing part), not the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline if dirty. Try to place it back in the socket and bite down softly on gauze. If that’s not possible, store it in a cup of milk and call us immediately. We have the best chance of saving the tooth if we see you within an hour.

I have severe tooth pain — is it really an emergency?

Yes. Severe, untreated tooth pain often indicates infection, which can spread. Even if the pain temporarily eases, the underlying cause needs evaluation. Call us — we’ll triage over the phone.

I have facial swelling. What should I do?

Dental abscesses can cause swelling and require prompt treatment. Call us right away. If the swelling is rapidly spreading or affecting your breathing, vision, or swallowing, go to the emergency room first and then call us for follow-up.

Can you do a root canal during an emergency visit?

Often, yes. If the diagnosis is clear and time permits, Dr. Blazhkevich can perform a root canal the same day to immediately relieve pain. If a multi-visit approach is better for the tooth, we’ll start with pain relief and antibiotics and schedule the procedure within a few days.

Do you offer extractions during emergency visits?

Yes. If a tooth cannot be saved or you choose extraction, we perform routine extractions in our office same-day in most cases. Wisdom teeth or surgical extractions may require referral.

What languages do your staff speak?

English, Russian (русский), Polish (polski), Ukrainian (українська), and Uzbek (oʻzbekcha). Please don’t hesitate to call in the language you’re most comfortable with.

Is parking available near the office?

Yes — Ocean Avenue typically has street parking, and there are several public lots nearby. We’re also a short walk from Avenue U on the B and Q subway lines.

Do you treat children’s dental emergencies?

Yes, we treat patients of all ages. For very young children with complex needs we may refer to a pediatric specialist after initial pain relief.
