Dental emergencies can strike at any time, and Dr. Sharareh Shokoohi and the team at Rio Rancho Smiles are ready to provide prompt, reliable care, including same-day emergency appointments when possible. Recognizing that urgent dental issues like severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, severe bleeding, or mouth/jaw injuries require immediate attention, they offer emergency services to alleviate pain and restore oral health quickly.
Our Approach to Dental Emergencies
When you contact Rio Rancho Smiles with an emergency, you can expect a swift response and Dr. Shokoohi's expert assessment and treatment. Patient comfort is paramount, and measures will be taken to manage pain effectively. Depending on the situation, follow-up care will be arranged for proper healing.
For specific emergencies we treat at Rio Rancho Smiles, such as a knocked-out tooth, immediate action like rinsing, re-insertion (if possible), or storing in milk/saliva is crucial. For chipped/broken teeth or severe toothaches, rinsing with warm water/salt water and applying a cold compress are recommended while contacting the office promptly. Lost restorations, like dental fillings are crowns, will be replaced as soon as possible!
