How do I know if it’s a dental emergency?
Most dental issues are not emergencies. You can probably wait for a few days or even a few weeks before getting checked out by your dentist during regular business hours. However, it’s best to see your dentist sooner rather than later to avoid complications.
Sometimes, however, dental problems can be potentially life-threatening. This includes things like bleeding from the mouth that does not stop, facial swelling that causes difficulty breathing, swallowing, or seeing, or a knocked-out tooth that needs to be reimplanted on an urgent basis. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, getting timely care can relieve your symptoms and limit the long-term damage.
What type of problems does an emergency dentist in New Jersey treat?
Partner providers of Express Dentist include top-rated 24-hour dentists in New Jersey who can treat all kinds of dental emergencies. The American Dental Association lists the following common dental emergencies: 1
- Bleeding from the mouth that won’t stop even after applying pressure for 15 minutes

If you or a loved one is experiencing a dental emergency, call the Express Dentist hotline at 1-844-593-0591. Lines are open 24 hours a day. Friendly and helpful representatives can help you get instant access to high-quality dental care from an emergency dentist in New Jersey.
Can I treat a dental emergency at home?
You should never try to treat a dental emergency at home. This can lead to serious health complications. It can also result in the need for extensive and costly dental treatment down the road.
In case you are not sure if your problem is an emergency, it’s best to seek professional care from an emergency dentist in New Jersey. In the following paragraphs, I’ll describe some general guidelines on what to do in a dental emergency.
Knocked out tooth
If you have a knocked out tooth that has completely fallen out of your mouth, it is a dental emergency. The tooth must be implanted back in its place within 30-60 minutes if it is to be saved. An emergency dentist in New Jersey can do this for you. Call the Express Dentist hotline at 1-844-593-0591 right away. Before you go to the dental clinic, gently rinse the tooth with clean, cold water but do not scrub it. Try to replace it in its socket inside your mouth. Otherwise, keep the tooth moist in a small amount of saliva or cow’s milk. If you have access to a tooth preservation kit, use it.
Uncontrolled bleeding
Bleeding from the mouth can occur after sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, or simply biting down on something sharp. Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth that does not stop after 10-15 minutes of pressure is an emergency. You should proceed to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. While you make your way there, press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth. If there is an object in the wound, apply pressure near the object but not on it.
Tooth abscess
Tooth decay or cavities are common dental problems. If left untreated, a cavity can develop into a dental abscess. The infection can spread of the soft tissue inside the tooth. A tooth abscess is a serious condition that needs to be treated as soon as possible. An emergency dentist in New Jersey can offer you pain medication, antibiotics, and definitive treatments for tooth abscess such as root canal.
Will insurance cover a dental emergency?
Your dental insurance plan may or may not cover treatment from an emergency dentist in New Jersey. It depends on your specific plan and the type of emergency you’re experiencing. Most plans provide coverage for at least some dental emergencies. However, your plan may not cover something like toothache while covering for treatment of something like a tooth abscess. If you’re not sure whether your plan covers dental emergencies, call Express Dentist at 1-844-593-0591. We can connect you to a leading emergency dentist in New Jersey who accepts your dental plan. If you don’t have insurance, you can still get emergency dental care but you’ll have to pay out of pocket with cash or cards.
