Have a Toothache?

Tooth pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek emergency dental care, and there are many possible causes.

A toothache may be associated with decay, a damaged filling, a cracked tooth, an infection, inflammation, gum problems, or another underlying dental condition.

Rather than simply treating the discomfort, Dr. Liberman will evaluate the source of the problem and discuss the treatment options available to you. Don't ignore persistent or worsening tooth pain. Call our Great Neck dental office to schedule an evaluation.

Broken, Cracked or Chipped Tooth?

A tooth can crack or break from an injury, biting into something hard, an older restoration, or normal wear over time.

Even when a broken tooth isn't extremely painful, it should be evaluated. Damage can sometimes extend beyond what you can see.

Depending on the condition of your tooth, treatment recommendations will vary. Dr. Liberman will examine the area, explain what she finds, and discuss appropriate options for restoring and protecting your smile.

Lost Crown or Filling?

Losing a crown or filling can leave the underlying tooth vulnerable and may cause sensitivity or discomfort.

Avoid trying to permanently repair the restoration yourself. Contact our office so the tooth and restoration can be properly evaluated.

If your crown has come out, keep it in a safe place and bring it with you to your appointment if possible.
