When You Need an Emergency Dentist

Not sure if your situation counts as an emergency? When in doubt, call our office — we'll help you figure out next steps. In general, seek immediate care if you notice:

• Signs of infection, such as pus or pressure

Cherry Hill residents typically reach our Haddonfield office in about 10 minutes via Kings Highway — close enough for fast care when every minute counts.

Emergency Treatments We Provide

Once we find the cause of your pain or injury, we can often treat it the same day. Depending on your situation, Dr. Ha Young Choi may recommend root canal treatment for an infected tooth, a dental crown to protect a cracked or broken tooth, a filling to replace one that fell out, or a tooth extraction when a tooth cannot be saved. We will explain your options and help you feel comfortable before any treatment begins.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

• Toothache: Rinse with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected side.
• Knocked-out tooth: Keep it moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you.
• Broken tooth: Save any pieces and avoid putting pressure on the area.
• Swelling or infection: Apply a cold compress and contact us right away.
• Lost filling or crown: Keep the crown if you have it, avoid chewing on that side, and call us to have it repaired or replaced.
• Object stuck between teeth: Gently use dental floss to remove it. Never use a sharp or pointed object.

Same-Day Appointments Available

We know dental emergencies are stressful and often painful, which is why we prioritize same-day appointments whenever possible. When you call, we'll also walk you through how to manage your symptoms until you arrive.

How Much Does Emergency Dental Care Cost?

The cost of emergency care depends on what is causing your symptoms and the treatment you need. We start with an exam and X-rays to find the problem, then explain your treatment options and costs before any work begins. Our team can also walk you through your financial options so cost does not keep you from getting the care you need.

Why Cherry Hill Patients Choose Us

• Fast, responsive emergency care
• Compassionate, experienced dental team
• Advanced technology for accurate diagnosis
• Easy access from Cherry Hill — about 10 minutes via Kings Highway W

When to Go to the ER Instead

If your injury involves head or neck trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or any life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room first. We're glad to handle any follow-up dental treatment once you've been stabilized.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Not every emergency can be avoided, but a few simple habits lower your risk:

• Wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports.
• Avoid chewing ice, hard candy, and popcorn kernels.
• Never use your teeth to open packages or bottles.
• Keep up with dental cleanings and exams so we can catch small problems early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get an emergency dental appointment near Cherry Hill?
We offer same-day appointments whenever possible and prioritize emergency cases the moment you call.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Often, yes — but timing matters. Getting to a dentist within 30–60 minutes gives you the best chance of saving the tooth.

Is a tooth infection considered a dental emergency?
Yes. Infections can spread quickly and should be treated as soon as possible to avoid complications.

Do you treat walk-in dental emergencies?
Call ahead if you can so we can prepare for your arrival, but we'll always do our best to fit urgent cases in the same day.

What should I do if my crown or filling falls out?
Keep the crown if you have it, avoid chewing on that side, and call us to schedule a visit. We can often re-cement a crown or replace a lost filling in one appointment.

How can I manage tooth pain until my appointment?
Rinse with warm salt water, use a cold compress on your cheek, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums, as it can irritate the tissue.
