Emergency / After Hours
Dental emergencies range from a painful toothache to a severe oral or facial injury. No one plans dental emergencies, and that’s why Glick Dental Associates offers same-day emergency dental service – so we are there when you need us.
If you or someone in your family has a dental problem requiring immediate attention, we will attempt to arrange to see you sometime during that same day. We are proud of our ability to respond quickly to urgent situations. In fact, if there is no other way to solve the problem, we will make arrangements to see you even when the office is technically closed.
Glick Dental Associates’ emergency dentistry services can help you receive the urgent dental care you need by:
-
Scheduling a same-day appointment.
-
Answering questions about insurance coverage for dental emergencies.
-
Providing tips on avoiding accidents or injury to your teeth.
-
Referring you to a qualified doctor for treatment of non-dental oral or facial emergencies.
When you call us at 440-349-1400, please provide as much information as possible about what happened, the level of oral or facial pain you are experiencing and any other symptoms. We will do our best to address your dental emergency quickly and efficiently.
There are steps you can take to prevent or minimize dental emergencies. One way to decrease the chances of damaging your teeth and jaw is to wear a mouth guard when you play sports. Another is to avoid chewing food that can crack your teeth.

Sports related dentistry
Rely on Glick Dental Associates to treat and prevent oral and facial athletic injuries and diseases.
As an athlete, you want to perform at your best and limit your injuries. Whether you play contact sports such as football, baseball and hockey, or participate in non-contact sports such as rollerblading and biking, injuries to your mouth area can occur. If you don’t take care of your teeth now, you could face dental injuries that will cost you time and money.
Glick Dental Associates sports dentistry services can help you maximize your athletic performance and safety by:
-
Educating you on how to select and wear the proper sports protection equipment for your face and mouth.
-
Custom-making a mouth guard so that it fits you accurately and doesn’t interfere with your speaking or breathing ability (vs. a boil-and-bite mouth guard).
-
Conducting pre-season examinations, including health histories and a total mouth exam and analysis.
-
Treating your oral or facial injuries on-site (in some cases) and at our dental offices.
-
Referring you to a qualified doctor for treatment of non-dental oral or facial injuries.
-
Preventing Dental Injuries
Whether you’re an acrobat, a skydiver, martial artist or more, the cost of a fractured tooth is much higher than the cost of a visit to Glick Dental Associates’ sports dentistry services to discuss custom mouth guards and other injury-prevention strategies.
The American Dental Association recommends wearing custom mouth guards for the following sports: acrobats, basketball, boxing, field hockey, football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, roller hockey, rugby, shot putting, skateboarding, skiing, skydiving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling.
