Dental emergencies can be unpredictable and distressing, but at Riverside Landing Dental, we’re here to provide you with quick, professional, and compassionate care when you need it most. Whether you’ve suffered a painful tooth injury, have a severe toothache, or have other urgent dental concerns, our dedicated team is ready to help you with immediate care to restore your oral health and comfort.
Common Dental Emergencies We Handle
Dental emergencies can vary in severity, but they all require prompt attention to prevent further complications. Some of the most common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Severe Toothache: Tooth pain can range from mild to excruciating. If you’re experiencing persistent or sharp pain, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as tooth decay, infection, or a dental abscess. Delaying treatment can lead to further damage.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents or injuries can cause your tooth to break or chip. This can be not only painful but also affect the appearance of your smile. Our team can provide prompt restorative solutions such as dental bonding, crowns, or veneers to fix the damage.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: A knocked-out tooth can be traumatic, but if you act quickly, there’s a good chance it can be saved. If you lose a tooth, try to keep it moist, and contact us immediately. We can often reimplant the tooth successfully within an hour of the incident.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: If a filling or crown comes loose or falls out, it can expose the underlying tooth, causing pain and increasing the risk of further damage. We can quickly restore your tooth with a new filling or crown.
- Abscessed Tooth: An abscess is a severe infection in the root of your tooth, often caused by untreated tooth decay or gum disease. If you notice swelling, a bad taste in your mouth, or fever along with tooth pain, an abscess requires immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
- Gum Injuries or Bleeding: If you’ve injured your gums or are experiencing unexplained bleeding, it’s important to seek dental care right away to prevent complications and infection.

How to Handle Dental Emergencies Until You See Us
While waiting to see a dentist, here are some steps you can take to manage your dental emergency:
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and alleviate pain. Use over-the-counter pain relievers (as directed) until you can see the dentist.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If possible, try to place the tooth back in its socket without touching the root. If you can’t, store the tooth in milk or salt water and bring it with you to your appointment.
- Chipped or Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and save any broken pieces of the tooth. If the break is sharp, avoid biting down and try using dental wax to cover the edges.
- Abscess: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth.
- Lost Filling or Crown: If you lose a filling, you can temporarily use dental cement or sugar-free gum to cover the area until you get to the dentist. Avoid eating sticky or hard foods.
When to Seek Immediate Care
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible. Do not wait until the pain becomes unbearable or the issue worsens. Here are some signs that require immediate dental attention:
- Severe, throbbing tooth pain
- Excessive swelling or bleeding
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Trauma to the mouth or face
- Knocked-out tooth or loose tooth
- High fever combined with tooth pain
