We offer a variety of emergency dentistry treatments at Gitlin Dental Group including root canals, repair of a loose or lost filling, and treatment of painful infections.
An avulsed (knocked-out) tooth or one that has been partially dislodged requires immediate attention. If you’ve lost a tooth, put the tooth back in the socket if possible and hold it there until you receive emergency care. Otherwise, place the tooth in a small container of milk to preserve it. If replaced in the socket by our emergency dentist within the proper timeframe and held secure with a splint, the tooth may be able to be saved.
Tooth pain that does not go away is generally a sign that infection is present, sometimes inside your tooth. A filling may be all you need. However, extreme tooth sensitivity or sharp pain when you bite or chew can also indicate an emergency dentistry situation involving your tooth root. These cases often require root canal therapy before your painful toothache can be relieved.
Suffering severe damage to a tooth after oral trauma or injury should be treated immediately. Minor chips and cracks can wait, but if you have broken or fractured a tooth, you can experience more than a severe toothache. Damage may go beyond the outside to the inside of the tooth and will need immediate attention from our emergency dentist in Roslyn, NY. Depending on the size and extent of the break, you may need a filling, dental crown, or a root canal. More severe cases may require emergency tooth extractions.
An infection due to an injury, cavity, or previous dental work can cause an abscess to form at the base of the tooth root. Treatment frequently involves an emergency root canal to eliminate the damaged pulp from inside the root.
Have you recently received a tooth extraction? A dry socket occurs when the blood clot in an empty tooth socket is dislodged and exposes underlying nerves and bone. To prevent infection and resolve intense oral pain, this requires immediate treatment, usually involving cleaning the empty socket and packing the space with gauze.

Although toothaches are the most common source of dental pain, the term itself is an umbrella term for a diverse array of dental and medical issues. While the most common cause of a toothache is a deep cavity, dental pain can originate from a TMJ disorder, gum disease, sinus infections, ear infections, even angina (heart pain). If you’re experiencing any sort of oral pain, it’s important to schedule an appointment with our dentist as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause. We will conduct a comprehensive examination and develop a personalized treatment plan that restores your oral health to excellent condition.
If your pain and discomfort is due to a deep cavity, we’ll carefully assess the involved tooth, remove the decayed and damaged tooth structure, and determine if the tooth needs a root canal procedure before a restoration is placed. At our office, we provide precise and gentle care as well as offer the latest options for dental restorations. As skilled providers of care, we produce seamless results for your smile with tooth colored fillings, and dental crowns that are customized to match the shade, shape and proportions of your natural teeth.
