Common Dental Emergencies We Handle

Toothache
Sudden and severe toothaches can be indicative of underlying issues such as infection or decay.

Knocked-Out Tooth
Immediate attention is crucial for the potential re-implantation of a knocked-out tooth.

Cracked or Broken Tooth
Trauma or biting into something hard can lead to a cracked or broken tooth, requiring immediate care.

Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown can expose the tooth to further damage and sensitivity.

Abscess or Dental Infection
Infections require prompt treatment to prevent spreading and alleviate pain.

Object Lodged Between Teeth
If an object becomes lodged between your teeth, it should be addressed promptly to avoid further damage.

 

Same Day Dental Appointments for Emergencies

No emergency happens on a planned schedule, and dental emergencies are no exception. That’s why we reserve time in our daily schedule to address dental emergencies. In most cases, we can see you the same day you call. We know time is of the essence when you are in pain or a dental problem worsens over time. You can trust our dental team to respond quickly to your dental concerns when needed. If you are unsure if your dental issue can wait, please call our office, and our dentist can advise you on what is best.

Dental emergencies can be extremely stressful situations, and they may compound anxieties that many people already have about visiting the dentist. Riverwood Dental offers sedation dentistry to help our patients relax and keep them free of pain while receiving emergency dental treatment. Let us exceed your expectations and repair your dental emergencies with the highest level of care.
