We give same day appointments even for the surgeries and extractions
Facing a dental crisis can be extremely distressing and often strikes at the least opportune moments, forcing an unexpected visit to the dental office. During these chaotic times, you might find yourself battling intense pain and dealing with significant disruption to your daily life. The critical first step during a dental emergency is to quickly seek the assistance of an emergency dental care provider.
Our team keeps time open in the schedule for emergencies, so both current and new patients can be seen quickly.
Go to the ER or call 911 instead if:
- Swelling in your face or neck is making it hard to breathe or swallow
- Swelling is spreading quickly, or you have a high fever with facial swelling
- Bleeding will not stop with firm pressure
- You have a jaw injury, a possible broken jaw, or a head injury
Once you are stable, call us for follow-up dental care.
Common dental emergencies and what to do right now
Severe toothache
Broken, chipped or cracked tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces you find. Use a cold compress to limit swelling and avoid chewing on that side. The sooner we see the tooth, the better the chance of saving it. Learn more about treating fractured and chipped teeth.
Knocked-out adult tooth
Pick the tooth up by the crown (the part you chew with), not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or cold water; do not scrub it. If you can, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place. If not, keep it in a small container of milk and come in right away. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved when it is treated within about 30 to 60 minutes.
Knocked-out baby tooth
Do not try to put a baby tooth back in, because this can damage the adult tooth developing underneath. Press clean gauze on the area if it is bleeding, keep the tooth, and call us so we can check your child’s mouth.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the crown in a zip-top bag and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can protect the tooth for a short time; never use household glue.
Swelling, abscess or gum infection
A painful, pimple-like bump on the gum, swelling, a bad taste in your mouth, or a fever can be signs of an infection. Dental infections do not go away on their own and can spread, so call us the same day. If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room.
Wisdom tooth pain
Pain, swelling or trouble opening your mouth around a back tooth can mean an infected or impacted wisdom tooth. Read about wisdom tooth extraction at our office.
Dental emergencies in children
Dr. Anahid Youssoufian holds a New Jersey pediatric dentistry specialty permit and treats children’s dental emergencies, from chipped front teeth after a fall to toothaches and swelling. Stay calm, follow the steps above, and call us. Learn more about our pediatric dental care.
This page gives general first-aid information for dental emergencies. It does not replace an examination. If you are not sure how serious your problem is, call us at (201) 533-0005, and in a medical emergency call 911.
What happens at your emergency visit
- We ask about your symptoms and health history.
- Dr. Youssoufian examines the area and takes the X-rays needed to see what is happening.
- We explain what we found, your treatment options, and the cost before any treatment starts.
- When possible, we relieve your pain the same day, for example with a filling, root canal treatment, or an extraction. Some cases need a follow-up visit.

Emergency dentist FAQ
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
Yes. Call (201) 533-0005 as early in the day as you can. We keep time open for emergencies during office hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 7 pm, and Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm.
Do you take walk-ins?
Call first if you can, so we can give you a time and have the right equipment ready. If you come in without calling, we will do our best to see you the same day, though you may have to wait between scheduled patients.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
The emergency exam is $70 and includes two X-rays that are normally $70, at no extra charge, through October 31, 2026. If you need treatment, we tell you the cost before we begin, and your insurance may cover part of it.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Call (201) 533-0005. After hours, the voicemail message gives Dr. Youssoufian’s direct number for urgent dental problems. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding, or a jaw or head injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes, on Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm, and our phones are answered until 5 pm. We are closed on Sunday and Wednesday.
Is a toothache a dental emergency?
Severe pain, pain that keeps you awake, or pain with swelling or fever should be seen the same day. A mild ache that comes and goes can usually wait for a regular appointment, but it should still be checked.
Do you treat children’s dental emergencies?
Yes. Dr. Youssoufian holds a New Jersey pediatric dentistry specialty permit and sees children for emergencies such as chipped or knocked-out teeth and toothaches.
Where is your office?
3171 John F. Kennedy Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07306. Free street parking is available.
How do you treat a dental emergency?
First we find out what is causing the problem, with an exam and the X-rays needed to see what is happening. Then we relieve the pain the same day where we can, for example with a filling, root canal treatment or an extraction. We explain what we found and what it costs before treatment starts.
What can I do for unbearable tooth pain right now?
Rinse with warm salt water, put a cold compress on your cheek for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, and keep your head raised when you lie down, which can ease the throbbing. Over-the-counter pain relievers taken as directed on the label can help until your visit; never place aspirin or any painkiller directly on the gums. Then call us at (201) 533-0005 for a same-day visit, because pain relief at home does not treat the cause.
