What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe or persistent pain, swelling, trauma, bleeding, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, or a lost restoration that leaves the tooth sensitive or exposed. These issues can worsen if ignored. When you call Englewood Dentistry, we help determine how urgent the situation is, advise what to do right away, and offer the earliest available appointment for diagnosis and relief.

Urgent problems we treat

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • Knocked-out or loosened tooth
  • Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
  • Lost filling, crown, or bridge
  • Swelling, abscess, or signs of infection
  • Dental injury with bleeding

What happens when you call

Call as soon as symptoms start. We will help you protect the tooth, reduce risk, and get scheduled as quickly as the situation allows. For step-by-step first-aid instructions for each type of emergency, see our guide: what to do in a dental emergency in Bergen County

Call first

Phone (201) 541-8111 and describe what happened so we can advise immediate steps.

Exam & diagnosis

We examine the area and use digital X-rays when needed to identify the source of pain or damage.

Relief & stabilization

We focus on comfort, infection control, and stabilizing the tooth or restoration when possible.

Follow-up plan

If additional care is needed, we prioritize next steps and review costs before treatment begins.

Calling an emergency dentist in Englewood, NJ

Call (201) 541-8111 and tell us when the problem started, whether there is swelling or bleeding, and whether a tooth or restoration is damaged. The team can explain current availability and where to go next. An online appointment request is not confirmation of an urgent visit.

We see new and established patients at 334 Grand Ave in Englewood, including patients traveling from Teaneck and Tenafly. Call before leaving so we can confirm an appropriate appointment.

What to do before your emergency visit

If you have tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a lost crown, call us before waiting for symptoms to get worse. For a knocked-out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, avoid touching or scrubbing the root, and keep it moist in milk while seeking immediate dental care. Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back into its socket. Call a dentist immediately. For a broken restoration, avoid chewing on that side until the tooth is examined.

Emergency dentist or hospital ER?

A dental office is usually the right place for tooth pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, lost crowns, or localized dental infection. Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma, or rapidly spreading swelling. If you are unsure, call and describe what is happening so we can guide you.

Getting urgent care outside office hours

Englewood Dentistry provides after-hours and on-call dental care, subject to availability. Call (201) 541-8111 for current coverage and instructions before coming to our Grand Avenue office. We do not guarantee 24-hour walk-in availability. If we cannot see you soon enough, seek another available urgent dental provider. Do not wait for a routine online booking response when symptoms need immediate attention.

Bring a medication list, details of what happened, and any saved tooth fragments or restorations. Tell the team about fever, swelling, bleeding, and when symptoms started so we can guide the next step.

Costs, insurance, and follow-up care

Emergency dental costs depend on the diagnosis and the care needed to relieve pain or stabilize the tooth. Some patients only need an exam and X-ray; others may need treatment such as a filling, crown repair, root canal therapy, extraction, or medication. We review costs before treatment whenever possible and can discuss insurance, Cherry, CareCredit, and Sunbit options.

No dental insurance? We offer an in-house membership plan. Call (201) 541-8111 for details.

Related emergency treatments

Common Questions

Emergency Dental Care, answered.

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, swelling, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, bleeding, or signs of infection can all be urgent. When in doubt, call us.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
For a knocked-out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, avoid touching or scrubbing the root, and keep it moist in milk while seeking immediate dental care. Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back into its socket. Call a dentist immediately.
Do you see emergencies if I am not a current patient?
Yes. New patients with urgent dental needs are welcome. Call first so we can understand the situation and offer the soonest available care.
When should I go to the ER instead?
Call 911 or go to the emergency room for trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial injury, or rapidly spreading swelling. For tooth pain or a broken restoration without these warning signs, contact a dentist promptly.
Can I be seen if I am in pain today?
We offer same-day and same-week emergency appointments, subject to availability. Call (201) 541-8111 so we can assess the urgency and confirm the earliest available visit.
What should I do for a lost crown or filling?
Avoid chewing on that side, keep the area clean, and call us. If the tooth is sensitive or sharp, we can advise temporary steps until it can be evaluated.
What if the office is closed or no appointment is available?
We provide after-hours and on-call dental care, subject to availability. Call (201) 541-8111 for current coverage and instructions before traveling to the office. We do not guarantee 24-hour walk-in availability. If we cannot see you soon enough, seek another available urgent dental provider. For breathing or swallowing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial injury, or rapidly spreading swelling, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
Do antibiotics fix a tooth infection?
Antibiotics are not a substitute for treating the source of a dental infection and are not needed for every toothache. Depending on the diagnosis, care may include drainage, root canal treatment, or extraction. Take medication only as prescribed.
Will the whole treatment be completed at my emergency visit?
The first visit focuses on assessing the problem and providing appropriate urgent care. A final crown, root canal, extraction, or other treatment may require additional appointments or specialist care. We explain the plan and estimated costs before proceeding.
