When You Need Emergency Dental Care

Dr. Ogonna Orjiekwe and Diamond Dental Group are here for you when you need emergency dental care. Come see us at our convenient locations in Jersey City, NJ, and West Orange, NJ.


Diamond Dental Group, your general and cosmetic dentist, also provides emergency dental care services that can save your smile! This includes same-day dentures and repairs. These are just some reasons you may want to call for an emergency appointment:


  • Severe toothache. Pain in your tooth can mean an infected or cracked tooth, or a filling you already have has been damaged. Call your dentist about any tooth pain and we can determine the cause.
  • Broken tooth. A chipped or broken tooth can be painful and cause an unsightly gap.
  • A crown comes off. Temporary caps can come off. Save the cap and come in immediately to get it replaced.
  • Bleeding gums. If your gums are bleeding excessively during brushing you should see your dentist, this is a sign of gum disease and infection.
  • Jaw pain or swelling. Swelling in the jaw can indicate a serious infection and you should see a dentist immediately.


If you're experiencing a dental emergency, visit Diamond Dental Group in Jersey City, NJ, and West Orange, NJ, for emergency care. In most cases, keeping up with regular dental appointments twice a year can prevent a lot of these emergencies. Another reason you may need emergency care is a dental injury.


Dental injuries can happen to anyone but are most common among athletes. These emergencies include a knocked out or chipped tooth. Invest in a fitted mouthguard to protect yourself when playing sports. If you do get a tooth knocked out, make sure you get to the dentist as soon as possible. You don't have to live with that gap in your smile!

There are a couple of things you can do immediately for a knocked-out tooth:

  • Collect the tooth or pieces of tooth and rinse them
  • Tuck the tooth or piece of tooth in your cheek on your way to the dentist. If you can't put it back in your mouth, another way to preserve it is in a small container of milk.


Whether you have a knocked-out tooth or some tooth pain, Diamond Dental Group and Dr. Ogonna Orjiekwe are here for you with emergency care. Call our West Orange, NJ, location at (973) 250-6166, or our Jersey City, NJ, office at (201) 659-7000.
