Common Dental Emergencies We Treat for Delmar Families

A dental emergency is any situation involving intense pain, bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or swelling that isn’t going down. If you’re not sure how serious it is, call us and we’ll walk you through it.

Between Elm Avenue Park, the fields at Bethlehem Central, and everyday life across the Town of Bethlehem, our team sees these emergencies regularly.

• Knocked-out tooth. Place it in milk and call us right away. Time is everything.
• Cracked or broken tooth. Rinse with warm water and hold a cold compress against your cheek.
• Severe toothache. Unexplained tooth pain can signal an infection or abscess building beneath the surface.
• Lost filling or crown. You may notice a metallic taste or sharp sensitivity. Cover the spot with sugar-free gum or dental cement until your visit.
• Abscess or swelling in the face or jaw. If swelling comes with a fever, that’s a sign to call immediately.

What to Do Before You Arrive

If Your Child Takes a Hit to the Mouth

Pick up the tooth by the top, not the root. Rinse it gently and try to reinsert it into the socket. If the child is too upset for that, put the tooth in a cup of milk and head to our office. Call 518-261-4800 on the way so we are ready for you.

If a Toothache Gets Severe at Home

Rinse with warm salt water and take ibuprofen for tooth pain relief. Hold a cold compress against your cheek, 20 minutes on and 20 off. Stay away from aspirin on the gums, since it can burn the tissue.

How We Handle Your Emergency Visit

We start with a phone call. A team member will assess what you’re experiencing and, if needed, get you a same-day emergency appointment. You’ll also get guidance on managing discomfort until you arrive.

Once you’re in the office, we move through a clinical exam, digital X-rays, and pain management before starting treatment. If dental visits tend to make you anxious, sedation dentistry is available so you can stay comfortable throughout.

Our Delmar Doctors Behind Your Care

Our clinical team in Delmar, NY brings more than 60 years of combined experience to every emergency visit. You may be treated by any of the following doctors.

Over 7,500 patients treated. More than 500 five-star reviews. From walk-in visits for a broken crown to same-day tooth extraction for a tooth that can’t be saved, our team has seen it all.

Dental Emergencies in Children

Kids in the Bethlehem Central School District are active, and sometimes that means chipped teeth, cuts inside the mouth, or a tooth knocked loose on the playground. We treat children of all ages for urgent pediatric dental situations in Delmar and know how to keep younger patients calm.

If a baby tooth gets knocked out, don’t try to put it back. Clean the area, apply gentle pressure with gauze, and call us. For permanent teeth, reimplanting within 30 minutes gives you the best chance of saving it.
