Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?

    Handle the tooth by the crown (top), never the root. Rinse it gently if dirty — don't scrub. If possible, place it back in the socket and hold it there; otherwise keep it in milk or saliva. Then get to our office within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it. Call (951) 683-0680 on your way.

  • Do you take same-day emergency appointments in Riverside?

    Yes. We prioritize emergency cases Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, and see Saturday emergencies by appointment. Call (951) 683-0680 as soon as the emergency happens.

  • What counts as a dental emergency?

    Severe or persistent toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess or signs of infection, soft-tissue injuries to lips or gums, and uncontrolled bleeding or facial swelling all warrant an immediate call.

  • When should I go to the ER instead of the dentist?

    Go to a hospital emergency room first for severe facial trauma or broken facial bones, jaw fractures, bleeding that won't stop, or infection with fever or difficulty breathing or swallowing. Call us for follow-up dental care after you're stabilized.

  • What can I do for severe tooth pain while I wait to be seen?

    Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss to remove trapped food, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Never place aspirin directly on your gums.

  • Can you treat a dental abscess the same day?

    Yes — abscesses are infections that can spread and should never wait. Call immediately; we'll get you in the same day to relieve pain and start treatment.
