Question 1

Where can I find an emergency dentist near me in Queens?

Accepted Answer

Nunez Dental is in Jackson Heights at 82-11 37th Ave, Suite 704, steps from the 82nd St–Jackson Heights station (7, E, F, M, R). With eight doctors on staff we hold same-day emergency slots for patients across Queens and NYC.

Question 2

Can I see an emergency dentist today in Jackson Heights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold same-day emergency slots every day we are open — Monday to Friday 1:00 PM to 8:30 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Call (718) 565-6740 and describe your symptoms.

Question 3

What counts as a dental emergency?

Accepted Answer

Severe toothache, a cracked or knocked-out tooth, facial swelling, an abscess, uncontrolled bleeding, a lost filling or crown, or trauma to the jaw. Swelling with fever needs care immediately.

Question 4

Is an emergency dentist open on Saturday near Jackson Heights?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are open Saturdays 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM in addition to weekday evenings until 8:30 PM, so you are not stuck waiting until Monday with a toothache.

Question 5

How much does an emergency tooth extraction cost in NYC?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary with the tooth and whether it is surgical, so we always give you a written estimate before treatment. Most PPO plans help offset the cost, and we offer CareCredit and Alphaeon financing.

Question 6

Can I see a dentist today without insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We treat emergency patients with or without insurance and provide a clear, written estimate up front so you know the cost before we begin. Financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon is available if you need to spread out payment.

Question 7

How do I stop a toothache at night before I can get in?

Accepted Answer

Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently around the tooth to remove trapped food, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever — never place aspirin directly on the gum. Call us first thing so we can see you the same day.

Question 8

Do you treat abscesses and swollen gums?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and these should be treated urgently. Rinse with salt water, keep your head elevated and call us right away — an untreated abscess can spread infection beyond the jaw.

Question 9

What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?

Accepted Answer

Pick the tooth up by the crown, never the root. Rinse gently with water, place it back in the socket if you can, or store it in milk. Get to us within 60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.

Question 10

Do you fix a broken or lost crown as an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Keep the crown if you have it, avoid chewing on that side, and use temporary dental cement from a pharmacy to protect the tooth until we can re-seat or replace it, often the same day.

Question 11

How much does an emergency dental visit cost overall?

Accepted Answer

An emergency exam with X-ray is typically the lowest-cost part of the visit, and most insurance covers it. We quote any further treatment in writing before we begin and offer financing for larger repairs.

Question 12

Do you speak Spanish during emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Sí. Nuestro equipo bilingüe le atiende en español por teléfono y en la clínica, sin necesidad de traductor.
