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 cannot 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 will explain the cost before we begin treatment.

What if I do not 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 will 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 is 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 will 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 will 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, Polish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. Please do not hesitate to call in the language you are most comfortable with.

Is parking available near the office?

Yes — Ocean Avenue typically has street parking, and there are several public lots nearby. We are 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.

Shall I Arrive Early for My First Appointment?

Yes. We kindly advise to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to fill out a New Patient Form.

What Should I Bring to My First Appointment at Your Clinic?

Please bring the following documents to your first appointment: - Personal identification (driver’s license, ID card, etc.) - Insurance card

How Long Is My First Appointment Expected to Last at Your Clinic?

We advise that our patients are expected to have their first appointment at our clinic to last on average from an hour to an hour and a half.

I Was Previously Told to Take Antibiotics Before the Dental Visit. Is this true?

In some cases patients are required to take antibiotic medications before certain dental procedures are performed to lessen a risk of infection after the procedure. If you have already had prescription to antibiotic medication, please bring that to your appointment. Your dentist will advise if you need to take the medication after the procedure.

Why Are Regular Dentist Visits Important?

Regular dental visits are important because they provide you with the updates on your oral health and address the changes at an early stage making the treatment easier and less invasive and can potentially save you a lot of money in the long run.

Emergency dental care at Eco Dental NY in Brooklyn 11229

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any oral-health problem that needs immediate professional attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or prevent infection from spreading. If you’re not sure — call us at (718) 368-3368 during business hours. Most dental emergencies are time-sensitive: the sooner you call, the better your outcome.

At Eco Dental NY in Brooklyn 11229, we reserve same-day emergency slots Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM. Our team speaks English, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek — so you can describe what’s happening in your native language.

⚠ Life-threatening emergencies — uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling that affects breathing, jaw fracture from trauma — go to the nearest hospital emergency room first. Call us for follow-up dental care once you’re stable.

Common dental emergencies we treat same-day

If you’re experiencing any of these, call (718) 368-3368 immediately:

Knocked-out tooth (avulsed) — rinse gently, place in milk or saliva, get to us within 30 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation.
Severe toothache — could indicate decay, infection, or abscess. Don’t wait; pain usually escalates.
Dental abscess (gum boil, pimple, swelling) — bacterial infection that can spread. Requires drainage + antibiotics + root canal or extraction.
Broken or cracked tooth — cosmetic fix or full restoration depending on damage. Same-day CEREC crowns available.
Lost or broken crown — exposed tooth is vulnerable. We can re-cement or replace same-day.
Lost filling — quick replacement prevents bigger decay or pain.
Wisdom tooth pain or infection — extraction same-day if accessible.
Cracked, chipped, or loose front tooth — cosmetic-emergency, especially before events.
Bleeding gums that won’t stop — could be gum disease, injury, or other cause.
Object stuck between teeth — we can safely remove without damaging tissue.
Broken dentures or partials — same-day repair often possible.
Soft tissue injury (cheek, lip, tongue) — we clean, suture if needed, and prescribe care.

What to do right now — first steps before you reach us

If a tooth gets knocked out

Pick it up by the crown (the white part), never the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline (not tap water). If possible, place it back in the socket and bite down on a clean cloth. If that’s not possible, store in milk, saliva, or saline — never plain water. Get to us within 30 minutes. Call (718) 368-3368 while you’re on your way.

If you have severe pain or swelling

Take over-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed. Apply a cold compress (ice in a cloth) to the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes on, 15 off. Rinse with warm salt water (1 tsp salt in 1 cup water) to reduce bacteria. Avoid sleeping flat — elevate your head to reduce throbbing.

If a crown or filling falls out

Save the piece if you can find it. Cover the exposed tooth with sugarless gum or temporary dental cement from the pharmacy. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us same-day for re-cementation or replacement.

If you have a dental abscess

Do not press, drain, or pop it yourself. Rinse with warm salt water several times. Take ibuprofen for pain. Get to us immediately — abscess infections can spread to the face, neck, or bloodstream.

If you have uncontrolled bleeding

Bite down gently on damp gauze or a clean cloth for 10–15 minutes. If bleeding doesn’t slow, call us. If it’s significant or accompanied by trauma, go to the ER first.

Russian / Ukrainian / Polish / Uzbek speakers — describe your emergency in your native language when you call. Our team is fully multilingual and will ensure nothing is lost in translation during a stressful moment.

Most emergencies are resolved same-visit: tooth extraction, crown placement (CEREC same-day available), filling, root canal, abscess drainage, or temporary stabilization. Pain relief and antibiotics are provided as needed.
