Is It a Dental Emergency?

Some dental problems need immediate attention. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact us right away.

Severe Toothache

Intense tooth pain usually means infection or decay. Rinse with warm salt water and take a pain reliever while you head to our office. We’ll find the source and get you relief.

Knocked-Out Tooth

Time is critical. Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, and try placing it back in the socket. Can’t do that? Keep it moist in milk or saliva. Get to us within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

Save any pieces you find. Rinse your mouth and use a cold compress for swelling. We’ll fix the damage and restore function.

Lost Filling or Crown

A missing restoration leaves your tooth exposed. Pick up dental cement from any pharmacy as temporary protection, then call us. We can often recement or replace it the same day.

Abscessed Tooth or Swelling

Facial swelling with tooth pain means infection. Rinse with salt water and contact us right away. An abscessed tooth needs urgent dental treatment before the infection spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer same-day appointments for Schenectady patients?

Yes. We hold spots open for dental emergencies and work hard to see you the same day you call. Reach out as early as you can for more options, but we’ll fit in urgent cases all day.

What will an emergency visit cost?

Cost depends on what treatment you need. An exam and X-rays cost less than an emergency tooth extraction or root canal. We accept most insurance and have payment plans available. After examining you, we’ll give you a detailed estimate.

What if I have an emergency after hours?

Call 518-261-4800. Our voicemail has instructions for true emergencies. If you have severe swelling, heavy bleeding, or jaw trauma, go to Ellis Hospital or your nearest ER right away.

Are you open 24 hours for dental emergencies?

We keep standard office hours but make same-day emergency appointments our priority. You get immediate pain relief plus a real treatment plan, not just a temporary patch. We want to be your long-term dental home, not a one-time urgent care stop.

Do you see children for dental emergencies?

Yes. We treat patients of all ages. Knocked-out teeth, chips, and toothaches all get urgent attention. We explain everything in kid-friendly terms if your child is anxious.

Can you just call in a prescription without me coming in?

No. We need to examine you first to diagnose the problem. Prescriptions mask symptoms temporarily but don’t fix what’s causing your pain.
