It is best to compare multiple reviews from different websites to get a complete picture. Some review sites remove negative reviews or tend to hide them at the bottom. Be sure to filter the reviews by the most recent and look for patterns appearing in the comments that may indicate a problem.</p>\n<p>Google contains more than half of all reviews worldwide. A practice with multiple positive reviews will be one of the first things a prospective patient sees when searching for the right dentist. Google reviews are very popular and are an excellent place to start to help add or eliminate providers from your list.</p>\n<p>Healthgrades has millions of reviews for dentists and offers a search function to find a dentist in the area quickly. Patients can also use this site to request an appointment.

Each falls into six different categories: insomnias, hypersomnias, sleep-related breathing disorders, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, parasomnias, and sleep movement disorders. While insomnia is a type of sleep disorder where the patient is unable to fall or stay asleep, hypersomnia is a group of sleep disorders that cause a patient to feel excessively sleepy.</p>\n<p>Parasomnias are a group of sleep disorders that consist of having undesirable experiences while falling asleep, sleeping, or waking up. Sleep apnea can be an underlying cause of parasomnias, since intermittently losing breath inevitably puts stress on the body. The same can be said for circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (where the sleep times are out of alignment) and sleep movement disorders (where movement during or before sleep interferes with sleep). Sleep apnea itself is a sleep-related breathing disorder, where there is difficulty breathing during sleep.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about sleep apnea and other sleep disorders\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"There are several different types of sleep disorders.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about causes of sleep apnea\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-causes-sleep-apnea\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Causes of Sleep Apnea</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Many patients are surprised to learn about <a title=\"Read more about The Link Between Sleep Apnea and Your Dentist\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/features/link-sleep-apnea-dentist#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Do-I-Have-Sleep-Apnea\">the link between sleep apnea and dental health</a>.

Tooth grinding, or bruxism, is the first sign of sleep apnea. This may cause tooth wear and breakage, along with inflamed and receding gums.

Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and poor diet, may also contribute. Taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle may lessen an individual\'s risk of developing sleep apnea.</p>\n<p>Being able to recognize the signs of sleep apnea is crucial. Patients should watch out for sore throat upon waking, excessive daytime sleeping, restless sleep, decreased libido, waking during the night, high blood pressure, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Children may also exhibit different symptoms of sleep apnea than adults. These may include bedwetting, choking, drooling, excessive nighttime sweatiness, learning and behavior issues, and problems at school.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about recognizing sleep apnea\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Children may also exhibit different symptoms of sleep apnea than adults.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"do-i-have-sleep-apnea v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Do I Have Sleep Apnea\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Constantly waking up in the middle of the night puts stress on your body, causing the hormone systems to work overtime and increase blood pressure. The low oxygen and stress associated with sleep apnea are also related to heart disease.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is snoring always a sign of sleep apnea?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">No. Snoring is very common.

When a tooth does not get needed root canal treatment, the surrounding tissue may become infected and surrounded by abscesses.

Many patients often do not make the connection between the toothache and the headache.</p>\n<p>A tooth that is still alive will also be sensitive to heat and cold, even after the patient has removed the stimulus. The tooth may be particularly susceptible to heat sensitivity. Patients with teeth that are already dead and have become abscessed will cause pain when the patient chews or otherwise puts pressure on the tooth.

These include chips or cracks in teeth, pain while eating or touching the tooth, persistent pain, sensitivity to heat and cold, and swollen gums.</p>\n<p>Chips or cracks in the tooth allow empty spaces for bacteria to settle in and cause infection and inflammation, while tooth sensitivity may be a sign of severe decay or nerve damage. In general, toothaches are a sign a patient should see a dentist.</p>\n<p>Tooth sensitivity may linger longer when the blood vessels and nerves in the tooth have become infected or damaged. Swelling may also come and go. It is frequently associated with abscesses, which may be accompanied by unpleasant taste and odor.</p>\n<p>Infected teeth may also feel looser than healthy teeth, due to nerve death softening the bone. Furthermore, teeth may turn grayish-black when the roots have been damaged and the internal tissue has been broken down.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 do-i-need-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"do-i-need-a-root-canal v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when to see a dentist about root canals\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"These conditions can manifest themselves as various symptoms.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 do-i-need-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"do-i-need-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about when root canals are the only option\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"root-canal-treatments-necessary\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">When Root Canals Are the Only Option</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Root canal treatments are necessary <a title=\"Read more about Root Canal Explained\" href=\"https://www.aae.org/patients/root-canal-treatment/what-is-a-root-canal/root-canal-explained/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Do-I-Need-a-Root-Canal\">when the pulp of the tooth has become inflamed or infected</a> and needs removal.

However, for such treatment to be successful, there must be enough of the natural tooth remaining to save. While it is best to save and maintain natural teeth whenever possible, some teeth may be beyond repair. Teeth with severe fractures or cracks extending below the gum line, for example, may be better suited for extraction.</p>\n<p>If extraction is necessary, patients may want to consider getting dental implants. This tooth replacement option looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth and will help maintain the appearance of the smile. Dental implants consist of artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jaw to hold an artificial tooth (also known as a crown or pontic) in place.

The first step is for our team to take an X-ray to see the shape of your root canals and look for any signs of infection. Then, during the actual procedure, the dentist removes the inflamed nerve and pulp of the tooth. The inside of the tooth will be cleaned and sealed.</p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> Is it painful to get a root canal?</p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.</span> It is a common misconception that root canals are excruciatingly painful. With modern technology, getting a root canal is not much more uncomfortable than getting a cavity filled. Root canals can address the causes of any pain you have been experiencing due to the damaged tissues.</p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> How long does it take to get a root canal?</p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.</span> This varies on a case-by-case basis. However, most patients can expect one or two 90-minute appointments.</p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> What should I do while recovering from a root canal?</p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.</span> Avoid placing any pressure on the affected area, and eat carefully. Refrain from chewing on the side of the mouth where you had your root canal. Opt for soft foods until your tooth has healed. Usually, patients can manage any pain or discomfort during this time with over-the-counter medication.</p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> How long will it take me to recover from my root canal?</p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.</span> You may be uncomfortable for a few days after the anesthesia wears off, especially if you were already dealing with swelling and inflammation. You should be able to return to your normal activities as soon as the day after the procedure. If your pain worsens or does not subside, call our office immediately.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ do-i-need-a-root-canal v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"do-i-need-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

The system includes proprietary virtual modeling software, rapid manufacturing processes, and mass customization, and the aligners consist of a patented material.</p>\n<p>To achieve the best results, patients must wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only when necessary. Such instances include eating or drinking anything other than cool water. Patients must also keep regular visits to both the dentist and the orthodontist. The dentist can ensure the mouth is in optimal health, reducing the risk of Invisalign irritating any conditions.

However, as metal braces tend to deliver more precise results, Invisalign is best for patients with mild or moderately crowded teeth. Patients with minor teeth spacing issues may also benefit from clear aligners. Anyone who wants to start Invisalign treatment must also first address any gum disease or other dental disease, making dental appointments essential.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, patients with more complicated issues with crowding or spacing (such as severe underbites, overbites, or crossbites) may require more intensive treatment. Invisalign is also typically unsuitable for children, as their mouths are usually still developing. Their teeth are still growing and changing, making them too unpredictable for clear aligners.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to know about invisalign\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"...Invisalign is best for patients with mild or moderately crowded teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Does Invisalign Really Work services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"does-invisalign-really-work-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Does Invisalign Really Work in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Does-Invisalign-Really-Work\">Does Invisalign Really Work in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about invisalign vs. traditional braces\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"difference-between-invisalign-and-traditional-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>There are a few differences<a title=\"Read more about Braces vs. Clear Aligners\" href=\"https://www.aaoinfo.org/blog/braces-vs-clear-aligners/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Does-Invisalign-Really-Work\"> between Invisalign and traditional braces</a>. The most obvious is aesthetics. When used appropriately, Invisalign is almost entirely inconspicuous — making it perfect for more self-conscious patients. Aligners are also removable, making them more convenient for eating and upkeeping oral hygiene.</p>\n<p>Metal braces consist of two main components: brackets and wires. These place consistent, gentle pressure on the teeth to shift them gradually. Brackets are attached to the teeth, meaning they cannot be removed. As a result, many patients find them less comfortable than Invisalign, and it is typically more challenging to maintain oral hygiene. Patients will also need to avoid hard, crunchy, chewy, or sticky foods to prevent breaking the brackets or having them get stuck between the braces.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about invisalign vs. traditional braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"When used appropriately, Invisalign is almost entirely inconspicuous — making it perfect for more self-conscious patients.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Does Invisalign Really Work\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

This involves rinsing the aligners nightly, brushing them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush to keep them clean. If possible, patients should rinse them whenever they take them out. As mentioned earlier, patients should only remove aligners when necessary — such as when eating, brushing, or drinking anything other than cool water. Patients who play high-contact sports should ask University Dental Associates if it is safe to keep the aligners in the mouth while playing.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about invisalign & lifestyle changes\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"One of the many advantages of Invisalign is that it requires minimal lifestyle changes.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 does-invisalign-really-work v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"does-invisalign-really-work v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Does Invisalign Really Work\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How does Invisalign work?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">University Dental Associates will create a personalized, digital treatment plan that allows him to precisely map out your tooth movements. Your aligners will then be created in the Invisalign lab, where they will be custom-made for your mouth and orthodontic needs.

It is also crucial to keep in mind that not all clear aligners are the same. The Invisalign system utilizes unique, patented technologies that make it the best in its field.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long will it take me to complete Invisalign therapy?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The answer depends on a case-by-case basis. More complicated cases will require longer treatment. However, the average patient will complete Invisalign therapy within 12 to 18 months. Many start seeing results in a matter of weeks.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are \"attachments\" and will I need them?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">SmartForce® attachments are small, tooth-colored shapes that allow the aligners to place extra pressure on certain areas of the teeth. They make complex tooth movements possible. Not everyone needs SmartForce attachments.

Although many people experiencing oral issues can wait to schedule a regular appointment with their dentist, some situations require immediate treatment. Emergency dental care is necessary in certain acute situations and can stop severe pain, prevent chronic issues, and even save an individual’s life.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Emergency dental care is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. It may be difficult to understand what constitutes an emergency when it comes to dental problems. However, there are certain signs that indicate when someone should pursue more immediate care.</p>\n<p>Ignoring a dental issue can have long-term consequences and can affect other teeth, the gums, or the underlying jaw bone.

Serious issues that need immediate attention include infection and ongoing bleeding. Certain traumas, especially those that involve facial bones, also require immediate treatment, as they can cut off the airway and restrict breathing. Seeking immediate dental attention for these issues can prevent trips to the ER at the hospital.</p>\n<p>Uncontrolled bleeding and difficulty breathing are not the only reasons to get emergency care. There are numerous other urgent dental conditions that indicate an appointment should be made right away. Some of these issues and their symptoms include:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Infection: </b>Infection can be caused by numerous things, and it can be localized or more general. Common signs include swelling, red gums, pain, and pockets of pus. An infection may also result in a fever.</li>\n<li><b>Pulpal inflammation:</b> According to <a title=\"Read more about What to know about pulpitis\" href=\"https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/pulpitis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care\">Medical News Today</a>, this is inflammation of the pulp, which refers to the tissue, blood supply, and nerves found in the middle of a tooth. It is often caused by a cavity infection and often is indicated by sensitivity, swelling, and pain.</li>\n<li><b>Dry socket:</b> Dry socket can occur after the removal of the tooth, most commonly a wisdom tooth. It occurs when a blood clot becomes dislodged or does not form properly, which exposes the bones and nerves in the gums. Throbbing jaw pain, bad breath, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth are all possible symptoms.</li>\n<li><b>Tooth fracture:</b> A fractured tooth can occur from an acute injury or from biting something hard. A fracture may be easy to spot if it is an obvious break. Additional signs to watch for are pain, temperature sensitivity, and swelling.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when to seek emergency dental care\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Serious issues that need immediate attention include infection and ongoing bleeding.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what procedures emergency dental care covers\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"emergency-dental-care-services\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What Procedures Emergency Dental Care Covers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The specific type of procedure used is largely dependent on the symptoms and issue. For infections, the dentist acts to fix the problem, such as removing decay from a lost filling, and then possibly prescribes an antibiotic to kill off the harmful bacteria. Pulpal inflammation may be caused by a cavity, injury, a fractured tooth, or repetitive trauma. Potential procedures used include disinfecting and sealing or removing the tooth.</p>\n<p>For a dry socket, Healthline describes that the dentist <a title=\"Read more about How to treat dry socket\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/dry-socket#treatment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Emergency-Dental-Care\">cleans the socket</a> to prevent infection and ease the pain and then pack it with gauze. Often pain medication is recommended to provide relief. Depending on the severity of a fractured tooth, common procedures include bonding, placing a crown, root canal, or extraction.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what procedures emergency dental care covers\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The specific type of procedure used is largely dependent on the symptoms and issue.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about non-emergency issues\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"non-emergency-issues\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Non-Emergency Issues</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Certain signs that indicate potential emergency situations are also signs of non-emergency ones. Therefore, if there is any doubt, it is still a good idea to make an immediate appointment. Bleeding is one example. Although some bleeding after a dental procedure is normal, it should only last around 24 to 48 hours, in most cases. If the bleeding is intense and uncontrollable, it is a good idea to visit the dentist right away.</p>\n<p>Some dental emergencies are nonurgent and can wait a day or two to be seen. These include a small crack or chip in a tooth; a lost crown, filling, or bridge; a dull toothache; and food stuck between two teeth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about non-emergency issues\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Certain signs that indicate potential emergency situations are also signs of non-emergency ones.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Emergency Dental Care services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"emergency-dental-care-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Emergency Dental Care in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Emergency-Dental-Care\">Emergency Dental Care in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about when pain occurs\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"dental-care-in-cases-of-emergency\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">When Pain Occurs</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Pain is another common sign of various dental issues that can range from minor to serious.

Another is to save any teeth in danger, and the third goal is to stop or prevent infection.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Why is a dental infection considered an emergency?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Untreated infection can quickly result in serious problems. An oral infection requires immediate dental care because the infection can spread to other areas of the body. Swelling, pain, nausea, fever, and pockets of pus indicate that emergency care is required right away.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is a cut inside the mouth an emergency?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">A cut may or may not need emergency attention. The area should be cleaned, and the bleeding should stop with gauze and pressure. However, if the cut is large and the bleeding does not stop, the person may need emergency dental care.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">If a temporary restoration falls off, do I need emergency dental care?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">It depends on how it happened. Denture adhesive may be used to fit the restoration back in place until a regular appointment is made. However, if trauma caused it to fall out and there is pain and bleeding, it is an emergency.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Will a patient still need to make a regular appointment?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Emergency dentists do everything they can to fix an acute situation. However, along with emergency dental care, the patient will probably need to make a regular appointment for additional treatment. Even if additional procedures are not necessary, a follow-up dental appointment is usually required.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ emergency-dental-care v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"emergency-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

Most minor issues can wait a few days for a scheduled appointment. However, there are several reasons to seek emergency dental care:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Restorative emergencies:</b> Accidents can occur at any time, and in the event of a missing or chipped tooth, it is best to seek immediate care. Restorative emergencies require dental care to preserve teeth, so they remain functional.

However, those who are in extreme pain should visit the dentist immediately. Pain that persists despite taking over-the-counter medications, such as Aleve®, Tylenol®, or Advil®, could indicate a serious infection or gum disease.</li>\n<li><b>Tooth abscess:</b> Tooth abscesses are caused by pockets of pus that develop underneath teeth. In addition to being extremely painful, a tooth abscess can lead to a life-threatening infection if left untreated. Seeking immediate care allows dentists to drain the pus that causes the pain before the problem becomes more severe.</li>\n<li><b>Lost fillings:</b> When patients lose cavity fillings or crowns, the opening is susceptible to infection. Replacing lost crowns and fillings eliminates pain and reduces the chance of infection setting in. Waiting to receive this treatment could elevate patients\' pain.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 emergency-dentist v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"emergency-dentist v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when to visit an emergency dentist\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"...there are several reasons to seek emergency dental care.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 emergency-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<style>\n.info-styling {\nborder-radius: 8px;\nbackground-color: white;\nborder-width: 10px !important;\nborder: solid;\nmargin: 0 auto;\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 80%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block info-styling SPIG\"><!—Infographic Group - Emergency Dentist -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Emergency dentist infographic: Dental emergencies include cracked, broken, or knocked-out adult teeth.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/emergency-dentist/#when-seek-emergency-dental-care\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Emergency-Dentist\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/signs-of-dental-emergency.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/signs-of-dental-emergency.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/signs-of-dental-emergency.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Emergency dentist infographic: Dental emergencies include cracked, broken, or knocked-out adult teeth.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Emergency dentist infographic: An emergency dentist is any dentist who can treat dental emergencies.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/emergency-dentist/#different-types-of-dental-emergency-treatments\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Emergency-Dentist\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-emergency-dentist.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-emergency-dentist.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-emergency-dentist.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Emergency dentist infographic: An emergency dentist is any dentist who can treat dental emergencies.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content section-block info-styling --><!-- /Infographic Group - Emergency Dentist -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"emergency-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of emergency dental care\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"why-emergency-dental-care\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of Emergency Dental Care</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Emergency dental treatment helps relieve mouth pain quickly and effectively.

Whether it is caused by an infected tooth, diseased gums, or an accident, a dental emergency needs quick intervention to relieve pain. Therefore, any oral health problem that demands immediate attention qualifies as a dental emergency.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How does emergency dental treatment benefit oral health?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Ignoring dental problems can lead to deteriorating oral health.

Many dentists who provide emergency services make themselves available 24 hours a day, as emergencies can arise at any time. Emergency dentists are professionals who treat walk-in and last-minute patients who require immediate care.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Emergency dental care is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. In the case of a dental emergency, you should ideally contact our office first. However, there may be times — such as when an issue arises at night, over the weekend, or on a holiday — when your first instinct is to rush to the emergency room. In these situations, carefully consider the severity of the problem and whether it necessitates ER care.</p>\n<p>Dental emergencies can arise at any time of day or night, and in a variety of situations. When one does, call University Dental Associates at <a title=\"Click to call University Dental Associates at (718) 733-6600\" href=\"tel:+1-718-733-6600\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(718) 733-6600</a> to get the immediate treatment you need.</p>\n</div>\n</div><!-- /.end intro text -->\n<!-- Contact Form -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 l4\">\n<div class=\"content-block\">\n<div class=\"form-wrapper-default bg-form z-depth-1\">\n[contact-form main]\n</div>\n</div>\n</div><!-- /.end contact form -->\n</div>\n</section><!-- /.end service intro -->\n<!-- Intro Section Content Ends Here -->\n<section class=\"inner-topbar bg-primary\"></section>\n\n<!-- Service Body -->\n<section class=\"service-body\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<!-- Main Content (Left Hand Column) -->\n<div class=\"col m12 m6 l9 SPLR\">\n<div class=\"main-body\">\n<!-- Main Content Starts Here -->\n\n[service-video]\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-primary SPS1\" id=\"emergency-dentist-vs-emergency-room v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about when to go straight to the er\"><!-- Section 1 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"when-go-straight-to-emergency-room\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">When To Go Straight to the ER</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Per the American Dental Association, the number of dental-related ER visits nearly doubled, from 1.1 million to 2.1 million, between 2000 and 2010.

However, when the accident or incident causes extensive facial trauma, such as broken bones, puncture wounds, lacerations, or damage to the soft tissues, it may be a good idea for the injured party to seek medical care before emergency dental care. Emergency dentists may have the capacity to restore oral health, but most cannot set broken bones, sew up lacerations, or perform other extensive medical procedures.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">When an Emergency Dentist Is Unavailable</h3>\n<p>If someone experiences a dental emergency aside from those mentioned above, and if an emergency dentist is not immediately available to handle it, then the patient should head to the hospital.
