You Broke You Tooth... What's Next?

/ Glenn Reit D.D.S./

Uh oh…You’ve bitten down and something feels not right.  Actually something feels sharp.  You would think your tongue would avoid the area but instead it just keeps going there.  As in Bart hitting Lisa and Lisa saying ‘quit it, quit it, quit it.  But, even though it's annoying, your tongue just keeps going there.

Out comes the mirror and you try to peer into the dark cavity which is your mouth to see what’s going on.  Well, what’s going on is you broke a filling or you broke your tooth.  Oh NO you have to go to the dentist.  Not like going out to a Broadway Show or a nice dinner but necessary.  Unfortunately, dental problems do not go away, they just get bigger.

The bacteria in your mouth like dark, warm environments with lots of food to eat.  Sounds like your mouth doesn’t it?  When you need a dentist we are here for you.  We actually like fixing teeth and making people’s mouths whole again.

At the dental practice of Dr Glenn Reit located at 1498 Third Avenue between 84th and 85th streets in Yorkville we like meeting new people and welcoming them into our practice.  Give us a call today at 212 517 9000.

 You and your teeth will be glad you did.

Did you have a Spring Break with a Broken tooth?

/ Glenn Reit D.D.S./

Spring Break NOT

I have a broken tooth, what will I do, what will I do?

Well, you’ll likely call a dentist. Maybe you’ll call us.  I’m Dr Glenn Reit and have been doing dentistry for decades.  Nobody likes going to the dentist, including me.  But, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and just go.  Most importantly nobody wants to feel any pain.  So I have taken additional training to make sure you are comfortable during treatment.  Yes, it is possible to give a painless dental injection.  Once you are numb and not able to feel anything the procedures are a whole lot more comfortable.

So maybe that hard pretzel was a little too hard, or that jawbreaker is a jaw breaker or that taco shell was just a little bit too crunchy and suddenly your tongue notices that part of your tooth has gone the way of the Dodo.  You look in the mirror and low and behold part of your tooth has left the building.

When you come in we will calm you down and look inside your mouth and tell what has happened.  Then the good part we will tell you your options on how to correct the situation and the costs involved.  If you have dental insurance it is better for you because they will cover a percentage of your treatment.

Maybe you just need to have your tooth smoothed; possibly a filling or maybe you’ll become a king or queen with your very own crown.  Maybe it’s a veneer, maybe an onlay or if the tooth has to be removed we will tell you how to replace it.

Hopefully, you will not find yourself in this situation but life happens and if you do we are here for you.  Located in Yorkville at 1498 Third Avenue between 84th and 85thStreets you can reach us at 212 517 9000.  After many years I have seen it all so whatever your situation we have seen it and treated it.

So call today even if it’s just for a routine dental exam and cleaning, you and your teeth will be glad you did.
