Emergency Dentistry

Whether you wake up with a throbbing toothache, feel a crack in your tooth when biting into something hard, or have a child with a chipped tooth, dental emergencies are never convenient and often scary and painful.

When you're hurting, the last thing you need is to wait days for help or struggle to explain your pain in a language that isn't your first. That’s when you turn to Riverside, CA, dentist, Dr. Norma Vazquez. 

Same-Day Emergency Dental Care

We keep openings in our schedule for emergencies and strive to see you the same day you call, especially if you're in pain. Our goal is simple: relieve your discomfort quickly and fix the problem properly.

If it's been months or even years since your last dental visit, please don't worry. We will never judge or blame you. Our only concern is helping you feel better now and preventing future problems.

For your comfort, we speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese so you can explain your emergency and understand your treatment options clearly.

Common dental emergencies we treat in Riverside include:

• Severe toothache or pressure
• Swollen, painful gums or face
• Broken or cracked tooth
• Knocked-out tooth
• Lost filling or crown
• Soft tissue injuries to lips, cheeks, or tongue
• Broken denture or bridge
• Abscess or infection (swelling, pus, fever)
• Loose adult tooth
• Jaw pain or injury

Don't hesitate to call our office at (951) 683-0333 right away if you experience any of these problems. The sooner we see you, the faster we can provide relief.

What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment

When you arrive for your emergency visit, your comfort is our priority. Dr. Vazquez will:

1. Examine the problem area
2. Take necessary x-rays 
3. Describe the issue in simple terms
4. Provide immediate treatment to relieve pain
5. Discuss next steps if needed

We do our best to complete treatment in one visit. However, after addressing the immediate problem, we may need to schedule a follow-up to finish your care.

Worry about cost shouldn't keep you from getting the care you need when you're in pain. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and offer several payment options, including CareCredit and Sunbit financing. Our team will work with you to get the most from your insurance benefits and find payment solutions that fit your budget.
