Emergency Dentist Appointment in NYC
I'm Dr. Nina Izhaky. A dental emergency is anything that can't wait: a toothache that keeps you up, a broken tooth, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown. When that happens, you don't need a lecture on prevention — you need an appointment, today. Here's exactly how to get one at our office, what to do before you arrive, and what happens when you walk in.
How to get an emergency appointment today
Three ways in. Pick the fastest one for your situation.
Call (212) 561-5303. This is the fastest path — tell us what happened, where it hurts, and whether there's swelling or a knocked-out tooth. When the office is open, we see emergencies same-day.
Book online if you'd rather not call. Use the booking link and choose the earliest available slot — then call us anyway if you're in real pain, because we keep same-day room for emergencies.
Tell us the key facts up front: what happened, when it started, pain level, any swelling, any fever, and whether a tooth is out or broken. It decides how fast we move and what we prepare.
After hours: call the office and leave a voicemail — the doctor will call you back right away. It's that simple. Don't sit on swelling or a lost tooth overnight hoping it gets better on its own.
If you're not sure it's an emergency, call anyway. Toothache, broken tooth, swelling, knocked-out tooth — if it can't wait, it's an emergency. We'd rather see you and say it's fine than have you wait on something serious.
Before your visit: what to do right now
The minutes before your appointment matter. Here's what helps and what hurts.
- Knocked-out tooth: pick it up by the crown — never the root. Rinse it gently without scrubbing, and keep it moist in milk or in your cheek. Get to a dentist within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
- Facial swelling or a dental infection: this is urgent — infections can spread and become serious. Don't wait it out. We provide same-day evaluation and treatment.
- Broken tooth: save any pieces you can find in milk or saliva, and avoid chewing on that side. Sharp edges can be smoothed at the visit.
- Lost crown or filling: keep the area clean, avoid sticky or hard foods on that tooth, and bring the crown with you if you have it.
- Bleeding: apply gentle, steady pressure with clean gauze. If bleeding doesn't slow, treat it as urgent and call us.
- What not to do: don't place aspirin directly on the gums, don't apply heat to a swollen face, and don't try to pull or reposition anything yourself.
What happens at your emergency visit
The order is fixed: out of pain first, answers second, the full fix third.
We get you out of pain first. That's the job of the first minutes — not paperwork, not a lecture.
We figure out what's actually wrong: an exam, and X-rays or 3D imaging when the case calls for it. Swelling, fractures, and infections each need to be seen clearly before anything is decided.
We tell you the plan honestly — what needs to happen now, what can wait, and what it costs. Your exact price is confirmed before treatment begins.
We treat what's urgent the same day whenever possible: extractions, root canals, repairs, and infection care are all done in-house — no referral runaround while you're hurting.
We set the follow-up before you leave, so the emergency visit turns into a finished result, not a temporary patch.
Hours, after-hours, and languages
Emergencies don't check the clock, so here's exactly when and how to reach us.
- Office hours: Monday–Friday 8 AM–6 PM, Saturday 9 AM–4 PM. Same-day emergency visits when the office is open.
- After hours: call (212) 561-5303 and leave a voicemail — the doctor calls back right away.
- Spanish-language emergency care is available — se habla español en emergencias.
- We're at 54 Warren Street in Tribeca — steps from the Chambers Street subway hub, easy to reach from SoHo, Battery Park City, and the Financial District.
Emergency dentist appointment — questions answered
01Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments in NYC?
Yes. When the office is open, we see emergencies same-day. Call (212) 561-5303 and we'll accommodate you as quickly as possible — toothache, broken tooth, swelling, or knocked-out tooth.
02What counts as a dental emergency?
Anything that can't wait: severe toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, facial swelling, signs of infection (fever, bad taste, spreading swelling), uncontrolled bleeding, or a lost crown or filling that's causing pain. If you're unsure, call — we'd rather see you and say it's fine.
03What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Act fast — the best chance of saving the tooth is within 30–60 minutes. Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently without scrubbing, keep it moist in milk or in your cheek, and get to us immediately. Call (212) 561-5303 on the way.
04Is facial swelling a dental emergency?
Yes — treat it as urgent. Dental infections can spread and become serious. We provide same-day evaluation and treatment. Don't wait it out or just take painkillers; call us.
05What if my emergency happens at night or on the weekend?
Call the office at (212) 561-5303 and leave a voicemail — the doctor will call you back right away. Describe what's happening so we can tell you whether to come in first thing or head somewhere immediately.
06How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
It depends on what the emergency needs — an evaluation and X-ray is one thing, a root canal or extraction is another. Your exact price is confirmed before treatment begins, and financing and our membership plan are available.
