Dr. Ruddy Rincon treats and advises on the following dental emergencies:

Anything causing dental pain or hindering your ability to chew or speak may be a dental emergency. Here’s how to handle common urgent situations.

Toothache: What to Do?

Emergency Toothache Relief

The right treatment depends on the cause of your pain. Once we identify the issue, we may recommend:
✔ Filling: If a cavity is causing your pain, a filling can solve the problem.
✔ Deep Cleaning (Scaling): Sometimes, plaque buildup under the gum line can cause discomfort, which can be relieved with a thorough cleaning.
✔ Antibiotics: If there’s an infection, antibiotics may be necessary before further treatment like an extraction or root canal.
✔ Root Canal: If the infection is inside the tooth’s root, a root canal may be required.
✔ Extraction: If a tooth is severely cracked or decayed beyond repair, it may need to be removed.

Damaged or Fractured Tooth? Act Fast!

Chipped or Cracked Tooth

If you chip or crack a tooth, call us immediately. Early intervention increases the chances of saving and restoring the tooth.

Broken Tooth

If a large piece of your tooth breaks off, recover it if possible and store it in milk. Then, contact us right away so we can assess and restore it.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If a tooth is completely knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root) and store it in milk. Do not reinsert it into the socket to avoid infection. Call us immediately for urgent care.

Gum Issues

Not all dental emergencies involve teeth. Gum pain, swelling, or infection can be just as serious. If your gums are injured due to trauma or infection, contact us immediately for relief.

FAQs for Emergency Dental Services at Dr. Rincon Dental Care, PLLC

1. What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation requiring immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop uncontrolled bleeding, or treat a serious infection that could impact overall health. Common emergencies include:

  • Excessive bleeding in oral tissues.

  • Facial bone trauma.

  • Severe toothache from decay or infection.

  • Abscesses with pain and swelling.

  • Fractured, loose, or knocked-out teeth due to injury.

2. Can I walk in without an appointment for an emergency?

Many dental offices accommodate walk-in emergency cases. However, it's best to call ahead whenever possible to ensure prompt care and allow the dental team to prepare for your situation.

3. How quickly can I be seen by an emergency dentist?

Response times depend on the severity of the emergency and the dental practice's availability. Critical cases, such as uncontrolled bleeding or facial trauma, are prioritized and treated immediately. For other urgent concerns, dentists aim to see patients the same day whenever possible.

4. What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?

Time is crucial! Follow these steps to improve the chances of saving the tooth:

  • Hold it by the crown (chewing surface), avoiding the root.

  • If dirty, gently rinse it with water—do not scrub it.

  • Try to reinsert it into the socket and keep it in place if possible.

  • If reinsertion isn’t an option, store it in milk or keep it inside your cheek to stay moist.

  • Seek dental care immediately, preferably within 30 minutes, for the best chance of reattachment.

5. How can I manage pain before reaching the dentist?

Before seeing a professional, you can:

  • Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen.

  • Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling.

  • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water for temporary relief.
    Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth! This can cause irritation and worsen the issue.

6. How can I prevent dental emergencies?

The best way to avoid dental emergencies is through proper oral care. Follow these tips:

  • Schedule regular check-ups to catch issues early.

  • Brush and floss daily.

  • Wear mouthguards if you play contact sports.

  • Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or unpopped popcorn kernels.

  • Address minor dental concerns before they turn into emergencies.

7. What if my emergency happens outside of business hours?

Many dental practices have after-hours emergency protocols. If you have an emergency during nights or holidays:

  • Call your dental office—their voicemail may provide instructions or an emergency contact number.

  • For serious cases, such as facial fractures or uncontrolled bleeding, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Your oral health and comfort are our top priorities!.
