- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, rinse briefly, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Minutes matter.
- Swelling or fever: a cold compress on the cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off. If swelling reaches your eye or throat, go to the emergency room first.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: keep the piece, cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax, and chew on the other side.

Typically the same day. Overnight calls are usually booked for the first available slot the next morning, and the operator tells you the time before you hang up.

No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Long Island City dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
