When to Call a Dentist Promptly
Contact the practice for a severe or persistent toothache, a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, swelling near a tooth or the gums, a lost filling or crown, pain when biting, bleeding around a tooth, or a dental problem that is getting worse.
Appointment availability varies and same-day treatment cannot be guaranteed. Calling early gives the team more information to help determine the most appropriate next step.
What Happens at an Urgent Dental Visit?
What to Do Before You Arrive
Toothache: Rinse gently with warm water and floss carefully if food may be trapped. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Broken tooth: Save any pieces, rinse gently and avoid chewing on that side. A cold compress on the outside of the face may help with swelling.
Knocked-out permanent tooth: Handle it by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse briefly without scrubbing. If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it; otherwise keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation product and seek care immediately.
Lost crown: Keep the crown and bring it with you. Do not use household glue.
Swelling: Call promptly, especially if swelling is increasing or accompanied by fever or difficulty opening the mouth.
When to Seek Medical Emergency Care
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for facial or neck swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial trauma, loss of consciousness or other potentially life-threatening symptoms. A dental office is not a substitute for emergency medical care in those situations.

Phone: (631) 350-1876
When you call, describe where the pain is, when it began, whether there is swelling or fever, what caused the injury and any medications you have taken. Bring a photo ID, insurance information, medication list and any broken dental pieces or restorations.
Insurance and Payment
Cash patients and most PPO dental plans are welcome. Benefits vary by plan and your insurer determines final payment. The team can discuss estimated fees and financing options for qualified patients after the dentist identifies the recommended care.
Emergency Dental FAQs
Can I walk in without calling?
Please call first. The team needs to confirm availability and whether the Huntington office is the appropriate location for your concern.
Will I receive full treatment the same day?
Not necessarily. The first priority is an accurate diagnosis and a safe plan. Some problems can be addressed at the urgent visit; others require a follow-up appointment or referral.
Should I go to the hospital for a toothache?
Most toothaches require dental evaluation. Go to an emergency department when symptoms may threaten breathing, swallowing or general safety, or when there is serious facial trauma or uncontrolled bleeding.
What if the pain stops before my visit?
A change in pain does not always mean the cause has resolved. Keep the appointment or call for guidance, especially after swelling, trauma or prolonged pain.
