Emergency Dentistry

Common Dental Emergencies:

Dental emergencies can be a variety of situations that require immediate attention to relieve pain and avoid further complications. Our experienced team at SoHo Dental Group is prepared to handle a variety of dental emergencies.Extreme Tooth Pain or Sensitivity

A sudden onset of extreme tooth pain or persistent pain can indicate underlying problems such as infection, tooth decay, or nerve damage. Our dentists will perform a thorough exam to determine the source of your discomfort. They will then recommend treatment options to relieve pain and maintain your oral health.

Avulsed (Knocked-Out) Teeth

If you have teeth knocked out due to an accident or trauma in the mouth, it is important to act immediately to improve the chances of a successful re-implantation. If you knock out a tooth, gently retrieve it (without touching the root), rinse it with water (if it is dirty), and place it back into its socket, if it is possible. If you can't, place it in saliva or milk and get emergency dental treatment at SoHo Dental Group.

Teeth That Are Broken or Chipped

Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth may occur as a result of trauma, biting on hard objects, or untreated decay. Treatment options include fillings, dental crowns, root canal therapy, or extraction and replacement, depending on the severity.

Loss of Dental Restorations

When a filling, crown, or other restoration is lost, the tooth's underlying tooth structure is exposed, which can cause discomfort or sensitivity. Our team can quickly replace damaged restorations to prevent further damage and restore the tooth's appearance and functionality.

Abscesses and Infections

A dental abscess is an infection around the root of the tooth or in the gums. They are often accompanied by swelling, pain, tooth decay, pus discharge, and occasionally fever. Abscesses are usually painful and can cause serious complications if left untreated. Seeking immediate dental care is therefore essential. Our dentists will drain the abscess and prescribe antibiotics as necessary. They will also address the underlying causes to prevent recurrence.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Injury to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums can be painful and uncomfortable and increase the risk of infection. Our team will evaluate the extent of your injury, offer appropriate treatment to promote recovery and provide guidance on oral hygiene to help prevent infection.

Contact SoHo Dental Group immediately if you are experiencing any of the above dental emergencies. We are here to offer compassionate care and expert treatments to help you overcome dental emergencies and gain confidence in your smile.
