A dental emergency is any situation involving severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth, swelling in the face or gums, or a dental abscess. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us at (201) 489-1084 and we’ll help you determine the best course of action. When in doubt, it’s always better to be seen sooner rather than later.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever — ibuprofen reduces both pain and inflammation more effectively than acetaminophen for dental pain. Rinse with warm salt water to reduce bacteria around the tooth. Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum; it can cause a chemical burn. Call AC Dental at (201) 489-1084 to get the earliest available appointment.

We prioritize emergency patients and typically offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent cases. Our office hours are Monday 9AM–6PM, Tuesday and Thursday 9AM–4PM, Friday 9AM–1PM, and alternating Saturdays 8AM–1PM. Call (201) 489-1084 as early as possible on the day you need care.

Pick up the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root. Gently rinse it with water without scrubbing. If possible, place it back in the socket. If not, keep it moist in cold milk or between your cheek and gum. Time is critical — come to AC Dental within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth. Call (201) 489-1084 immediately.

A basic emergency exam and X-ray may range from $100–$250. Additional treatment such as fillings, root canals, or extractions will have separate fees. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options including 0% APR financing. Visit our payment options page for details.

Hospital ERs can manage pain and prescribe antibiotics for dental infections, but they typically cannot perform dental procedures — no fillings, root canals, extractions, or reimplantation of knocked-out teeth. For actual dental treatment, you need a dentist. AC Dental provides same-day emergency appointments so you get definitive care without a lengthy ER wait.

Our regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and alternating Saturdays. If you experience a dental emergency outside business hours, call (201) 489-1084 and follow the prompts for emergency guidance. We’ll accommodate you at the earliest available opening, including first thing the next morning.
