Planning For The Unexpected

Dental emergencies do not always fit into a regular schedule that accommodates regular business hours. In truth, emergencies ranging from accidents to severe pain from a developing cavity could occur at any point in time, and it is important for residents of Suffolk County to know where to turn. This can not only alleviate the actual trauma of a dental emergency, but can also allay much of the anxiety and concern that arises when these situations happen.

At Stony Brook Family Dentistry, we have emergency dental services that can accommodate any time of day, or day of the week. While we do offer this type of practice during our regular business hours, we also have emergency services for conditions that fall outside of these scheduling parameters. This allows our patients to have the peace of mind of knowing that they will always be cared for, no matter when the emergency happens.

Specialized Care For Oral Concerns

The truth is that most residents of Long Island are aware of general emergency services should an unexpected trauma happen. However, while hospitals and urgent care facilities can deal with many physical concerns, they are not always able to address dental issues. In most cases, patients will be referred to a specialist, whether it is a dentist or orthodontic surgeon.

What this means is that it can be easier to cut out the middle step of referral, and simply visit or call in to our dental office as soon as the need for emergency dentistry arises. If it is during regular business hours, we can make accommodations to see our patients as soon as possible. Even off schedule emergencies will be attended to with speed, since our hotline for these eventualities allows you to contact dental help for any time of day or night.

Regardless of when your dental emergency happens, we encourage you to contact Stony Brook Family Dentistry in order to receive immediate care for your oral trauma. Our friendly and experienced staff will help you feel comfortable and at ease, and have you back to your regular routines in no time.
