Emergency Dentist in Clinton, NJ | Clinton Dental Group
Solving Your Dental Emergencies
Tooth, gum, and mouth pain can arise from various issues, including dental injuries, undiagnosed gum disease, or wisdom tooth eruption. Regardless of your symptoms or condition, it's crucial to see a dental professional immediately! At Clinton Dental Group, we offer comprehensive emergency dental appointments. We handle almost all dental services in-house, and if we cannot treat your emergency, we will provide you with the appropriate referral.
We can help treat the following conditions at our office:
Tooth Pain
While occasional tooth sensitivity can be normal, persistent tooth pain that interferes with your daily life should be addressed immediately. Our team will perform a thorough dental exam, including x-rays if needed, to accurately diagnose and treat the root cause of your pain, providing lasting relief.
Broken Dental Fillings & Crowns
Even with the most durable materials, dental fillings and crowns have a limited lifespan and can be damaged if not properly cared for. If you notice a crack in a crown or if it falls off, we're here to help restore your dental work promptly.
Dental Abscesses
Dental abscesses are signs of infections beneath the gum line. During your emergency appointment, our team will examine the abscess and may recommend an emergency tooth extraction or root canal to address the infection and prevent further complications.
Broken Teeth or Knocked Out
Knocked-out and broken teeth are not just cosmetic concerns. Delaying treatment can increase the risk of infection, leading to more pain, expense, and complications. If you've suffered an injury that has knocked out, chipped, or broken your tooth, carefully preserve the tooth and contact us immediately for further instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care in Clinton, NJ
What counts as a dental emergency?
Any situation involving severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess, or swelling in the jaw is a dental emergency. At Clinton Dental Group, we handle almost all dental emergencies in-house and can usually see you quickly.
Q: What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to keep it moist - either by placing it back in the socket, holding it between your cheek and gum, or storing it in milk. Call us immediately at (908) 730-6432 and get to our office as fast as possible.
