You do not need a diagnosis to call us. If a tooth hurts badly, breaks or comes loose, Ridgecrest callers can ring Pier Dental and ask for a same-day emergency appointment.
Our front desk will ask a few questions, so we are ready when you walk in.
Mouth injuries
Falls and impacts can crack teeth or tear gums. Rinse gently and hold a cold cloth against swelling while you travel.
If a tooth is out, keep it in milk or a preservation solution.

A tooth that suddenly hurts
Sudden sharp pain on biting or lingering sensitivity can mean a crack or infection. Both need an exam to sort out.
Toothaches rarely resolve alone.

Breaks and fractures
If part of your tooth snaps off, save it and avoid chewing there. We assess whether bonding, a crown or a root canal fits.
Sharp edges may cut your cheek, so come in soon.
