Everyone Is Welcome

New patient? Old patient? To us, every patient is the same, and is treated the exact same way regardless of their history with us. Everyone deserves a professional dental service that treats them respectfully and compassionately, and without all the awkwardness and stress you might associate with visiting the dentist. The Richard J Gochman, DDS PC team welcomes everyone to get emergency help at their clinic and believes that the bond between patient and dentist is a necessity to be fostered and grown over the years.

We Offer Emergency Dental Services

An “emergency dental problem” can be any number of tooth- or mouth-related health concerns, from problems with the teeth and gums to problems with the jaw. All of these problems need dental help to resolve, lest they spread and grow worse. Richard J Gochman, DDS PC treats all manner of dental problems that may occur, including:

• Swollen jaw. If your jaw begins to swell, it’s usually the sign of an infection, and one that can spread to the bones and surrounding tissue if left untreated. As the jaw provides the necessary support for the teeth and gums, a jaw problem is considered a dental problem, so it’s important to get help right away.
• Gum pain. Pain in the gums can happen for any number of reasons — usually, but not always, an infection and none of the possible issues can wait very long to be treated lest the problem should spread to the rest of the mouth. Dr. Richard Gochman can figure out what’s causing the pain and take the necessary measures to fix the problem.
• Toothache. When teeth hurt, they tend to really hurt, especially when eating or brushing. Because a toothache can be caused by multiple different things and doesn’t go away on its own, a dentist is needed to assess the problem and resolve it for you. Otherwise, the pain can get worse, and the cause may spread to the rest of the teeth or damage the tooth further.
• Tooth loss. A tooth knockout occurs when bad facial damage results in the loss of one or more teeth. Teeth can also be lost due to decay and other damage. Because adult teeth don’t grow back, the only way to repair the problem is to visit a dental office like Richard J Gochman, DDS PC, and have the tooth replaced, along with having the gums cleaned and disinfected as necessary.
• Tooth damage. Whether it’s a minor concern like a crack or chip, or you’re on the verge of losing your tooth, Dr. Gochman can identify the problem and repair your smile before the issue gets worse.
• Filling loss. Fillings are added to protect your teeth from extra damage and decay but can be easily lost if the wrong material is used or if new damage is inflicted. A lost filling might seem comparatively minor compared to other dental concerns, but the results can be both painful and dangerous for your tooth and the rest of your mouth. Your dentist can replace that filling early to avoid more damage and can repair any damage that has already been done.
• Root canal. Though these procedures have a reputation for being uncomfortable, they’re necessary to prevent the loss of a decaying tooth. Trust Dr. Gochman to not only fix the problem quickly, but to prioritize your comfort and happiness at the same time. Modern procedures make a root canal easier than ever before. The goal is to help, and you can trust us to do our best to help without causing you any extra discomfort in the process.

Avoiding Dental Emergencies

It may seem obvious, but a lot of these concerns can be avoided if you take good care of your teeth and work hard to keep them healthy. Problems can still happen even if we’re being careful, but the risk is minimized if we take precautions and listen to dental advice. Make sure to brush and floss multiple times a day and for several minutes at a time and visit your dentist often. This way, problems can be noticed before they grow worse, and you can rest assured knowing that you’re in control over your dental health and hygiene.
