A blow to the face, a fall, or a mistake can seriously damage your mouth and teeth, requiring immediate attention. If you find yourself facing a dental emergency on your day off, you might be hard-pressed to find a dentist who isn’t enjoying their own weekend.
Emergencies don’t have time to wait until Monday, which is why our clinic has Sunday availability.
At Bayside Dental Arts in Queens, New York, Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev and our team are dedicated to offering a comprehensive range of dental services.
We’re proud to offer services as an emergency dentist open on Sundays in the Bayside neighborhood of Queens, because we know the need for urgent dental care isn’t confined to regular business hours.
Handling dental emergencies
When you imagine a dental emergency, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a knocked-out tooth. Time is of the essence in these situations, and an emergency dentist might be the only thing standing between you and permanent tooth loss.
It only takes an hour for a tooth to dry, seriously impacting its survival. Once the root becomes dry, it begins to degrade, making it difficult to secure the tooth back in the socket.
If you have completely knocked a tooth free, your top priorities should be keeping it clean in a glass of milk and finding a dentist.
Even if your tooth is just loose and not knocked out, it can still be a serious problem. Children’s teeth come loose when they’re ready to be replaced, but adult teeth should not move around in their sockets. Loose teeth can be the result of trauma, disease, and poor dental health.
There are many dental emergencies that vary in severity, including:
- Toothaches
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Foreign objects lodged in the teeth
- Abscesses, which often fill with pus and indicate infection
- Soft tissue injuries to the tongue, gums, or inside of the mouth
- Broken braces, brackets, and bands
- Lost crowns and fillings
- Severe jaw pain
When it comes to dentistry, the rule is always that it’s better to come in sooner than later. That’s why having a dentist available on Sundays in Queens is so important for our patient community.
