Emergency Dental Services at River Rock Dental
WHAT ARE EMERGENCY DENTAL SERVICES?
Emergency dental services focus on addressing sudden and often painful dental issues that cannot wait for a regular appointment. Prompt treatment helps to relieve pain, prevent further complications, and preserve your oral health.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
​1.Severe Toothaches
Persistent, throbbing pain in your tooth or jaw may indicate an infection, decay, or other issues that require urgent care.
​2.Chipped or Broken Teeth
Accidents or injuries can cause cracks, chips, or breaks in your teeth. Quick treatment helps save the tooth and prevent further damage.
​3.Knocked-Out Tooth
If a tooth gets knocked out, it’s crucial to act quickly. Place the tooth in milk or saline solution and see a dentist immediately to improve the chances of saving it.
​4.Dental Abscess or Infectio
Swelling, severe pain, or a bad taste in your mouth may signal an abscessed tooth. This is a serious condition that requires immediate treatment to prevent complications.
​5.Bleeding or Trauma
Injuries to the gums, lips, tongue, or teeth can cause excessive bleeding and pain. Immediate care will help manage the situation and prevent further damage.
​
6.Broken Dentures or Dental Appliances
Damaged dentures, braces, or retainers can affect your daily life. We offer repairs to restore comfort and functionality.

WHAT TO DO IN A DENTAL EMERGENCY
-
Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid painkillers that come in direct contact with the gums, as they can burn tissues.​​
-
Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (top), not the root. Rinse it gently and keep it in milk or saliva to keep it moist. Visit us immediately.​​
-
Broken Tooth: Save any pieces of the tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.​
-
​Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on the affected tooth. Bring the restoration with you if possible.​​​​​​​​​
