Why is it that we seldom get a bad toothache at 10:00 on a Tuesday morning when your dentist is in his office and can see you? The answer is that would be too convenient. Your tooth would rather wake you up at midnight, or begin hurting on the weekend or on the Fourth of July. Our Inwood emergency dentist, Elliot Gutman, DMD is available to treat your dental problems whenever they occur, including evenings, weekends and holidays.
Our Inwood emergency dentist is a general oral care practice that provides full-service dental care. Some of our leading services include oral examinations, teeth cleaning and periodontal treatments, radiography, teeth whitening, dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, resin and amalgam fillings, root canals, custom mouth guards, and removable dental prostheses. Our office is equipped with state-of-the art dental care equipment and technology and our staff is experienced in all the latest techniques to ensure that your dental procedures will be performed comfortably and successfully. We not only want to take the pain out any procedure but the anxiety a patient may associate with it as well to make coming to our office a pleasant experience.
The Inwood emergency dentist experience starts with an initial oral examination. Before Dr. Gutman looks in your mouth he will listen to it. The first part of the initial consultation is a discussion of any problems you might be having, what your concerns are, medical history, current pertinent medical issues, and what your goals and expectations are for any treatment. The examination includes a thorough assessment of your teeth, bite and oral anatomy. He will check for any periodontal problems, such as the development of pockets between the teeth and gums, which can lead to infections and other potential problems. The examination may also include a radiography examination (x-rays) to further uncover any hidden problems. Dr. Gutman will also perform an oral cancer screening. He will then discuss the finding of the exam with you and also recommend any treatment options that might be beneficial. Even if it is not an emergency situation in the middle of your Thanksgiving feast, our practice welcomes you to make an appointment and come in for a thorough oral examination so you can avoid any dental emergency in the future.
