Emergency Care: frequently asked questions
Who should I contact about an urgent dental problem?
Call the office at (862) 247-8030 and describe your symptoms and when they started. Ask for guidance on the next step and appointment availability. Do not rely on an online appointment request for urgent help.
What should I do if a permanent tooth is knocked out?
Seek dental care immediately. Keep the tooth moist, handle it by the crown rather than the root, and place it in milk or a tooth-preservation product if you cannot put it back in its socket. Prompt care matters.
What information should I give when I call?
Describe the injury or pain, when it began, any swelling or bleeding, and whether a tooth is broken or missing. Share relevant medical conditions and medications so the team can guide you appropriately.
