“Oh, my aching tooth!” It’s nothing to fool around with. Symptoms of pain, bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, swollen lymph nodes or jaw, red gums–all may indicate an infected, or abscessed, tooth. Because of injury, excessive decay or a faulty restoration, bacteria invades the inner chambers of tooth roots, causing the pulp to become infected.

Your Massapequa Park Emergency Dentist

January 15, 2015

469156185As a highly trained emergency dentist in Massapequa Park, NY, Dr. Allan Mohr understands the impact a dental emergency can have on your life, both in the immediate sense and over the long term. Addressing your dental emergency quickly and efficiently in the office of a trusted Massapequa Park dentist will help to ensure that you keep more of your natural tooth structure and smile, even following a sudden injury or accident.

Dealing with Dental Emergencies

No one is ever ready for an emergency; they are, by their very nature, unexpected. In the case of a dental emergency, knowing that you have a skilled and experienced dentist in your corner can make all the difference in the world. If you experience any of the following, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Mohr and our caring staff as soon as possible. Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

  • Broken or chipped tooth
  • Partially or fully knocked out tooth
  • Lacerations to gums, tongue, lips, and other soft tissues
  • Severe toothache that does not subside with flossing around the tooth
  • Abscess
  • Lost crown or filling

If you have lost a tooth due to an injury, take care to place the tooth in a container of milk or clean water until you reach our office. Avoid touching the root portion of the tooth, and do not attempt to remove any connective tissues still attached. It may be possible to place the tooth back in the socket, thereby preserving more of your natural dentition.

Because we know how serious dental emergencies can be, we strive to serve all of our emergency patients as soon as possible. We’re here to ensure your continued oral health and the beauty of your smile, and we pledge to respond quickly to your needs, especially during urgent care situations.

Keep Your Family’s Smiles Safe with Preventive Dentistry this Halloween Season

October 15, 2014

160051708Autumn is upon us and Halloween is right around the corner. Families from across the country are gearing up to celebrate with costumes and the fun, familiar tradition of trick-or-treating with the kids. While you certainly can’t have Halloween without candy and other sweet treats, we do think that this is a great opportunity to emphasize the importance of preventive dentistry. At the office of Dr. Allan S. Mohr in Massapequa Park, NY, families from throughout Long Island and the surrounding areas are invited to protect their smiles from disease and decay with preventive dental solutions.

Preventive Dentistry for Long Island, NY & Beyond

While general dentistry checkups serve as the cornerstone of good oral health, there are certain times of year that warrant extra attention when it comes to little smiles. Your child’s Halloween haul presents a twofold problem: First, kids usually bring home much more candy than they can finish in just one weekend. This means that there’s a constant source of sugary, sticky treats within reach for weeks, increasing the amount of time your child’s smile is in contact with cavity-causing substances. Secondly, the most popular types of Halloween candy – including chocolate bars, Tootsie Rolls, caramels, taffy, and lollipops – tend to either stick to the teeth or remain in the mouth for extended periods of time. Both of these factors contribute to the development of cavities.

Fortunately, there is a way to help protect your son or daughter from tooth decay. In addition to brushing twice per day and flossing at least once daily, schedule an appointment with Dr. Mohr and ask about preventive dentistry solutions like dental sealants and fluoride supplements. Dental sealants help to protect hard-to-reach surfaces, reducing the chances of cavities on molars and premolars. Fluoride supplements effectively remineralize enamel so that it is better equipped to handle the onslaught of acid produced by bacteria in the mouth. Both treatments are completely safe and pain-free.

Your Long Island Family Dentist

Dr. Mohr loves working with children, ensuring that good oral health habits begin early. If you’d like to learn more about how preventive dentistry can help keep your little one’s pearly whites healthy and safe from decay, contact our office today to schedule your next visit. Our caring, gentle team looks forward to providing everyone in your family with exceptional dental solutions that fulfill your needs and exceed your expectations. Our Massapequa Park, NY dental office proudly serves patients from throughout Long Island, Seaford, Wantagh, Lindenhurst, and more.
