Emergency Root Canal and Endodontic Care on Long Island

Severe tooth pain can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. If you have intense tooth pain, swelling, a dental injury, or pain in a tooth that has already had a root canal, contact Gentle Touch Endodontics. Our team prioritizes urgent endodontic cases and works to get patients evaluated as quickly as possible.

Dr. Luba Borukhova can evaluate what may be causing the problem and explain the next step for your tooth. Gentle Touch Endodontics is located in Williston Park and welcomes patients from Long Island, Nassau County, Queens, and Brooklyn.

When to Contact an Endodontist

Call us if you are experiencing severe or persistent tooth pain, pain when biting or chewing, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around a tooth or gum, a suspected dental abscess, a cracked or injured tooth, or pain after a previous root canal.

Tooth pain can have different causes. An endodontic evaluation helps identify what is happening and whether root canal treatment or another option may help.

Urgent Care From a Root Canal Specialist

Gentle Touch Endodontics focuses on treating problems inside the tooth and around its roots. Dr. Borukhova uses a surgical operating microscope in virtually every root canal case, and our office has 3D CBCT imaging to help evaluate tooth roots and surrounding bone.

Whether you need a first root canal, retreatment, or an evaluation after an injury, Dr. Borukhova will explain her findings and discuss the treatment options with you.

What to Do While You Arrange Care

Call the office and describe your symptoms, when they began, and whether the tooth has been treated before. Avoid chewing on the painful tooth. If you have a dentist’s referral or recent X-rays, let the office know.

If swelling is rapidly spreading or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
