Emergency Dental Treatment in NYC from Michael Cohn, DDS

Whether you have visited our office in the past for routine dental care or you simply need an emergency dentist when your usual dental care team is unavailable, Michael Cohn, DDS is ready to help you. Dr. Cohn has nearly 40 years of practical experience in dentistry and can perform a wide range of emergency dental treatment services, such as:

• Emergency repairs on damaged teeth. If you have a cracked or broken tooth, it may leave a jagged point that hurts the inside of your mouth. This could cause you to have difficulty eating and speaking. The sooner you seek emergency dental care for your damaged tooth, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
• Emergency dental extraction. It is sadly not always possible to save damaged or decayed teeth. If you have a tooth that demands immediate removal, it is probably causing a great deal of pain. Michael Cohn, DDS, and his patient care team can perform your emergency extraction as quickly as possible while doing whatever we can to minimize pain and discomfort during the procedure.
• Crown repairs and replacements. If you have lost or damaged an existing crown, we can help you restore your compromised dental fixture or place a new crown to ensure your teeth remain protected. Dr. Cohn has significant experience in repairing and replacing all types of dental fixtures.
• Filling repairs. Fillings protect teeth that have developed cavities, filling the cavities and preventing them from growing. If your filling has broken or fallen out, you need to have it replaced as soon as you can. If a cavity has suddenly started causing you pain, Dr. Cohn can place a new filling to prevent the cavity from worsening.
• Jaw pain treatment. Has your jaw suddenly started hurting? This could be a sign of a potentially serious dental or periodontal issue that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. When your jaw hurts and you cannot eat or speak comfortably, rely on Dr. Michael Cohn, DDS to assist you in NYC.
• Toothache treatment. You may not know what is causing your toothache, only that you need it to go away as soon as possible. Toothaches can cause crippling pain and make it almost impossible to speak or eat comfortably. You need your toothache fixed as soon as possible. Our team can assess what is causing your toothache and provide effective care.
• Emergency root canals. A root canal procedure involves removing decayed tooth pulp from inside an otherwise healthy tooth. This will seal the tooth and allow it to stay in place, potentially preventing extraction. We can provide emergency root canals when painful teeth are making it impossible to carry on with your daily life.
• Gum disease treatment. Some gum diseases can eventually develop painful symptoms. If your gums are causing intense pain, you need to seek emergency dental treatment as soon as possible to rule out very serious dental and/or periodontal conditions.

These are only a few areas of dentistry with which Dr. Michael Cohn, DDS has extensive experience. With nearly 40 years of professional dental experience, you can trust Dr. Cohn and his team to handle any type of dental emergency you might face.

How to Prevent Dental Injuries

Many of the emergency dental treatments Dr. Cohn performs result from traumatic injuries. While it is not reasonable to account for every possible incident that might result in dental injury, it is possible to be proactive about protecting your teeth by wearing appropriate safety equipment. For example, an enclosed helmet while riding a motorcycle or dirt bike could prevent a facial injury in an accident. A properly fitted mouthguard could save your teeth in the event of a sports-related accident. Your dentist can provide more specific guidance that suits your lifestyle and activities.

When a dental emergency does not result from a traumatic accident, it often results from poor dental hygiene, disease, or another preventable cause. Good daily oral hygiene is one of the best defenses against these kinds of dental emergencies. Brush and floss after meals or twice daily, and consider using a fluoride or antiseptic rinse as your dentist recommends. It's also a good practice to visit your dentist at least twice per year for cleaning and examination. This helps you identify risk factors as early as possible and potentially prevent dental emergencies.
