Urgent Dental Care
A dental emergency can happen at any time — while eating, during a weekend game, or in the middle of the night. If you are in pain, bleeding, or have damaged a tooth, do not wait. North Shore Dental Group is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of dental emergencies the same day you call.
A toothache that won't go away often signals an underlying infection, deep cavity, or cracked tooth. Persistent, throbbing pain — especially when accompanied by sensitivity to heat, cold, or pressure — warrants same-day evaluation. We use digital X-rays and Pearl AI diagnostics to identify the source of your pain quickly and accurately so we can start treatment right away.
A cracked, broken, or chipped tooth may expose the sensitive inner layers of the tooth to bacteria, increasing the risk of infection. Whether it's a minor chip from biting down on something hard or a significant fracture from an accident, our team can assess the damage and perform same-day bonding, temporary crowns, or schedule follow-up restorations to save the tooth.
Time is the most critical factor when a tooth is completely knocked out. If you can see a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes, there is a strong chance the tooth can be successfully reimplanted. Our team has the expertise to reinsert and stabilize avulsed teeth, and if reimplantation isn't possible, our dental implant specialists can plan a permanent replacement.
When a filling falls out or a crown comes loose, the underlying tooth structure is exposed and vulnerable to sensitivity, bacteria, and further damage. We can re-cement your existing crown, place a temporary restoration, or create a new one. Our prosthodontic team specializes in crowns, bridges, and complex restorations.
A dental abscess is a serious infection that can cause intense pain, facial swelling, fever, and a foul taste in the mouth. Left untreated, the infection can spread to the jaw, head, neck, or even the bloodstream. This is one of the most urgent dental emergencies we treat — call us immediately if you notice a painful, swollen bump on your gums or significant facial swelling.
A fractured denture, a loose implant crown, or pain around an existing implant requires professional evaluation. Our practice includes prosthodontists and periodontists who placed and maintain implants — meaning you get specialist-level care for your implant emergency without needing a referral.
Jaw pain can result from trauma, TMJ issues, teeth grinding, or an underlying dental problem. If you've experienced a blow to the face or jaw and are having difficulty opening your mouth, biting down, or experiencing misalignment, our team can perform a thorough examination with digital imaging to determine the cause and develop a treatment plan for you.
Uncontrolled oral bleeding — whether from a recent extraction, gum disease, or trauma — is a dental emergency that needs immediate attention. Apply firm pressure with a clean gauze or cloth and call us right away. Our periodontist is available on-site to address gum-related bleeding and help identify the underlying cause.
Step-by-Step Guides
Knowing what to do in the first few minutes of a dental emergency can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Here are step-by-step guides for the most common situations — but remember, the most important step is always to call us at (516) 262-3070 as soon as possible.
A knocked-out permanent tooth can often be saved if you act within 30 minutes. The key is to keep the tooth moist and handle it carefully by the crown — never touch the root. Reimplanting the tooth yourself, if possible, gives you the best chance of saving it. If not, store it in milk and get to our office immediately.
A cracked or broken tooth needs prompt professional care to prevent infection and further damage. While you may not always see the crack, symptoms like sharp pain when biting or sensitivity to temperature are warning signs. Rinse, manage swelling, and contact us for same-day evaluation.
A severe toothache is your body's signal that something is wrong — often an infection, deep decay, or a fracture that has reached the nerve. The goal is to manage pain temporarily while getting to our office as quickly as possible for diagnosis and treatment.
A dental abscess is a pocket of infection that forms at the tip of a tooth root or in the gum. It will not resolve on its own and can become life-threatening if the infection spreads. If you notice a painful, pimple-like bump on your gums, facial swelling, fever, or a persistent bad taste in your mouth, call us immediately.
Why North Shore Dental Group
Not every dental office can handle every type of emergency. At North Shore Dental Group, our multi-specialty team means you get the right specialist for your specific problem — all under one roof, without referrals, on the same day whenever possible. We have been serving families from Manhasset and across Long Island since 1947, and we take emergency dental care as seriously as any other aspect of our practice.
Dental emergencies don't wait for convenient hours. We are open Monday through Saturday, including late evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Saturday hours from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM mean you can get emergency care even on the weekend — no waiting until Monday when your tooth is throbbing on a Saturday morning.
Call (516) 262-3070 for urgent dental needs. This dedicated line ensures your call is prioritized and triaged appropriately. We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day, and in many cases within hours of your call. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
Our practice includes prosthodontists, a periodontist, a pediatric dentist, and general and cosmetic dentists — all under one roof. Whether your emergency requires a root canal, a dental implant consultation, gum treatment, or a child's broken tooth, the right specialist is already here. No referrals, no delays, no bouncing between offices.
Some emergencies are straightforward — a lost filling, a minor chip. Others are complex — a fractured implant, a multi-tooth trauma, or an abscess requiring root canal therapy and a crown. Our team handles the full spectrum. We can take you from emergency triage all the way through definitive treatment and long-term restoration, so you don't end up with a temporary patch that leads to bigger problems later.
