Emergency Dentistry in Long Valley, NJ

At Rogler Family Dentistry, we provide emergency dental care that helps to restore a tooth or teeth that has become either infected or damaged. If you live in Long Valley, NJ, or the 07853 area, we encourage you to save our phone number. Since there is no way to tell if or when you may have a dental emergency, putting (908) 850-0506 in your contact list can save you a trip to the emergency room.
Why we provide emergency dentistry
Ralph E. Rogler, DMD provides emergency dental care to ensure that patients can get the help they need right away. This is critically important because if you leave a damaged or infected tooth alone you could risk the infection spreading.
Visiting Rogler Family Dental Instead of the ER
While the physicians in the emergency room are skilled at treating health emergencies, they are not familiar with dental care. They can triage any problem that you have by helping to stop the bleeding but they will not be able to restore a damaged tooth. Likewise, if you visit an emergency room due to dental pain, they can provide you with pain relief but they cannot find out what is causing the pain and work to solve it. This is why you need to visit the dentist instead. Remember that even if you go to the emergency room, you will still likely need to visit the dentist anyway. If you live in Long Valley, NJ you can visit us for emergency dentistry instead and save yourself both time and money.
Performing Emergency Dental Care
At Rogler Family Dentistry, Ralph E. Rogler, DMD provides the same type of services that you can receive during a traditional dental visit. The two most common issues that we address during emergency dental visits are:
Damage
It is actually fairly common for teeth to become damaged in an accident. This can happen due to a standard car accident, workplace injury, sports accident, etc. While most adults do not think about cracking a tooth while playing a pickup game of basketball – it happens. These casual everyday events can lead to sudden tooth damage and if they do, you need to be sure to have it repaired. Through emergency dentistry, we can fix a cracked tooth, chipped tooth, or even a tooth that has been knocked out.
If you need an immediate dental restoration in the 07853 area, visit our office. For fast results, we can use dental bonding. This is a resin, tooth-colored material that can be placed on top of your tooth, shaped, and hardened using a special dental light. It can be completed in one sitting so that you can walk in with a chipped tooth and leave with a fully restored one. Other solutions like dental veneers and dental crowns are also available to correct damage but typically require two visits to do so.
We can also provide emergency dental care if your tooth has been knocked out due to an accident or has fallen out after becoming loose. If you can find the tooth, rinse it and put it in a cup of milk, then come to our Long Valley, NJ dental office right away. There is a possibility that the tooth can be put back in your mouth. Otherwise, we can discuss replacement options that include dentures, a dental bridge, or a dental implant. All of these are possibilities that can appear completely natural so to learn more about them, call 908-850-0506.
Toothaches
As an emergency dentist, Dr. Rogler sees a lot of New Jersey patients that are suffering from a major toothache. This is a top reason that people seek out care right away instead of waiting for Monday or for the dentist to open in the morning. When a toothache strikes it can be debilitating and we can provide relief. The good news is that it does not have to be. At Rogler Family Dentistry, we have found that most toothaches do not happen without warning. Typically, there are signs that can include discomfort when biting down, sensitivity to heat or cold, irritation when brushing or flossing, etc. If you sense any of these things, we encourage you to call (908) 850-0506 and schedule an appointment for a dental exam. Ralph E. Rogler, DMD can examine you, look for any signs of infection or decay and treat the problem before you go from moderate discomfort to a raging toothache. Our friendly Long Valley staff can work with you to schedule an appointment that fits within your schedule so that you have no reason to delay in seeking treatment. However, if you do not come in right away and do develop a bad toothache, we want to see you.
One of the common reasons for a bad toothache is severe decay or an infection. To resolve this issue, we may need to perform a root canal. We can do this while providing you with emergency dental care. Since the discomfort is caused by the infection, removing it will help you to feel better right away. First, we will numb the area and provide you with anesthesia and then create a small hole in your tooth so that the infected portion of it can be removed. Once done, the area will be cleaned before it is sealed. Ralph E. Rogler, DMD will ensure that the procedure is entirely comfortable and after we are done you will feel significantly better than when you first came in. Sometimes it is also necessary to restore the tooth with a dental filling or crown. If this is the case we can either complete that portion of the procedure immediately or schedule a second appointment to do so.
