Get help with a dental emergency
Is it a dental emergency?
A dental problem is urgent when it causes severe pain, bleeding, swelling or damage that gets worse if you wait. Common examples are a knocked-out adult tooth, a tooth pushed out of place, a cracked tooth with sharp pain, a swollen gum or face from an abscess, and bleeding after an extraction that does not slow down with pressure. A lost filling, a chipped tooth without pain or a loose crown is usually not an emergency but should be seen within a few days. Our dental emergency checker walks you through common problems and how fast to act.
Emergency room or dentist?
Hospital emergency rooms in Great Neck can manage spreading infection, trauma and pain, and they can prescribe medication, but most do not have a dentist on staff who can drain an abscess at the tooth, do a root canal or reattach a tooth. If you are not in danger, a general dentist is usually faster and cheaper. If the problem is clearly specialised, the city also has 0 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 5 endodontists (root canal specialists) and 2 pediatric dentists in our directory.
How to get a same-day appointment
- Call general dentists close to you as early in the day as possible and say it is urgent.
- Describe the problem clearly: pain level, swelling, bleeding and when it started.
- Ask about the cost of an emergency exam and X-ray before you go, and whether they take your insurance or Medicaid.
- If no one can see you and symptoms are getting worse, go to urgent care or an emergency room.
Important: we do not know the opening hours of the offices below and none of them is listed as an emergency or after-hours clinic. Call ahead before you travel.

Frequently asked questions
Should I go to the ER or a dentist for a dental emergency in Great Neck?
Call 911 or go to an emergency room for facial swelling that spreads to the eye or neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding that will not stop, a broken jaw or a head injury. For a toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth or a lost filling, a dentist can usually do more than an ER, which can treat pain and infection but rarely repairs teeth.
Are there dentists open now in Great Neck?
Our directory lists 94 general dentists in Great Neck, but it does not record opening hours or emergency availability. Call the office first and ask whether they can see a new patient the same day.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse it briefly if dirty, and try to put it back in the socket or keep it in milk. See a dentist as soon as possible, ideally within an hour.
