An emergency dentist treats tooth pain, broken teeth, swelling, and dental injuries the same day — no ER waiting room, no week-long wait for an appointment. I’m Dr. Nina Izhaky. My practice is at 54 Warren Street in Tribeca, about 15 minutes from the East Village, and when the office is open we see emergencies the same day. Toothache after dinner on St. Mark’s? A molar that cracked on something it shouldn’t have? Call (212) 561-5303 — pain relief first, real answers second.

From Dr. Izhaky
“It doesn’t hurt that bad” is how small problems get expensive
I hear it all the time from East Village patients — musicians, bartenders, line cooks, people who work hard and don’t have time for a dentist until something forces the issue. A cracked tooth that doesn’t hurt yet. A filling that’s been “a little loose” for months. Then one night it becomes a 2 AM emergency.
So let me be direct: if something feels off in your mouth, come in before it becomes an emergency. And if it already is one, don’t sit on it hoping it improves. Call in the morning, and most days you’re in my chair that same afternoon. The fix is almost always simpler when I see it early.
What counts as a dental emergency?
If it hurts, bleeds, swells, or broke — it counts. Call (212) 561-5303 and we’ll tell you straight whether it needs today or can wait.
Toothache at 2 AM
The kind that wakes you up and won’t let you back to sleep. Call us first thing — when we’re open, we see emergencies the same day.
Cracked tooth, no pain (yet)
A cracked or fractured tooth that doesn’t hurt is still urgent — it can split further without warning. Early repair is simpler and cheaper.
Broken tooth from an accident
Bike spills on the avenues, a stray elbow at a show — the East Village keeps us busy. Save any fragments and call (212) 561-5303.
Swelling or a bad taste
Swelling, or a foul taste that suggests an abscess, needs same-day attention. Infections don’t stay put.
Lost filling or crown
An exposed tooth is sensitive and vulnerable. We re-seat crowns and replace fillings before small damage becomes big damage.
Knocked-out tooth
30–60 minutes is the window. Crown only, gentle rinse, cold milk, and call us immediately.
How to get to us from the East Village
From Astor Place or St. Mark’s, take the 6 downtown to 14th St–Union Square, then the 4, 5, or 6 one more stretch to Fulton Street. From Fulton it’s a short walk west to 54 Warren Street, between Church Street and Broadway. Door to door, about 15 minutes. From Alphabet City, the L at 1st or 3rd Avenue to 14th Street works too — then it’s a quick cab or a few avenues on foot.
Honest advice for a real emergency: if you’re in serious pain, skip the transfers and take a cab straight down. It’s a direct ride and you’ll be in the chair faster than the subway would get you there.

Emergency dentist questions, answered
01Do you see East Village patients for same-day dental emergencies?
Yes. When the office is open, emergencies are seen the same day — call (212) 561-5303 in the morning and we’ll get you in. From the East Village it’s about 15 minutes door to door.
02What’s the fastest way to reach you from the East Village?
Take the 6 from Astor Place to 14th St–Union Square, then the 4, 5, or 6 downtown to Fulton Street — we’re a short walk west at 54 Warren St. In real pain, a cab straight down is usually fastest.
03I work nights and sleep days — can I still be seen?
Call us and we’ll work with your schedule as best we can. Many of our East Village patients work service-industry or gig hours; leave a voicemail anytime and the doctor calls back.
04My tooth broke but it doesn’t hurt much. Is that still an emergency?
Yes — painless doesn’t mean harmless. A cracked tooth can go from a simple repair to a root canal or extraction if you wait. Come in and let us see it before it gets worse.
05What do I do if my emergency happens late at night?
Call the office and leave a voicemail — the doctor calls back right away with guidance. For a knocked-out tooth or spreading swelling, don’t wait until morning to call.

We evaluate first, then give you a clear treatment plan with transparent pricing before any work begins. We are a private fee-for-service practice.
