Broken tooth, severe pain, lost crown — we keep space open every day for urgent care. Same-day appointments and 24/7 after-hours access.
When You Call, We’re Ready for You
When you call, you won’t be told to wait or call back later. You’ll speak with someone who can help you right away.
If you’re in pain, we’ll bring you in the same day and get you in front of Dr. Cocozzo — not scheduled weeks out, not routed somewhere else.
Behind the scenes, we’ve already made space for emergencies. When you call with a broken tooth, swelling, or pain you can’t manage, we’re not trying to figure it out in the moment — we’re ready for you.
After hours, you’ll reach a local Albany answering service Dr. Cocozzo has trusted for over 30 years. Real people who answer the phone and know how to reach her — day, night, or weekend.
No voicemail. No automated system.
Just someone who can help you get the care you need.
Can I get a same-day appointment for a dental emergency?
Yes — we reserve time every day for emergencies. If you call in pain, we’ll get you in the same day. Call (518) 899-5800 and tell us what’s going on — we’ll take it from there.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is anything causing significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or affecting your ability to function. This can include a cracked or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown or filling, a dental abscess, or severe tooth pain that won’t go away.
If you’re not sure, call us. It’s always better to check early than wait and let something get worse.
What if I have an emergency outside of office hours?
Call (518) 899-5800 — you’ll reach a real person. Dr. Cocozzo has worked with the same local Albany answering service for over 30 years. They’ll connect you with her, day or night.
No voicemail. No automated system. Just someone who can help.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Call us immediately at (518) 899-5800 — time matters.
- Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root
- If it’s dirty, gently rinse it with water — don’t scrub
- Try to place it back in the socket if possible
- If not, keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum
The sooner you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
