What to do while you wait for your Riverdale appointment

  • Rinse, do not scrub: warm salt water every few hours calms the gum and clears debris around a cracked or infected tooth.
  • Cold, not heat: a wrapped ice pack on the cheek limits swelling. Heat spreads it.
  • Keep the pieces: a chipped fragment or a crown that came off can sometimes be reattached, so bring it with you.
  • Eat carefully: soft foods, nothing very hot or cold, and chew away from the sore side until you are seen.

Can you help if I am visiting Riverdale and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Riverdale partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Riverdale?
In most cases, yes. Riverdale partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Riverdale dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Can I get a root canal on the same day in Riverdale?
Often the first visit relieves pain by opening the tooth and removing the infected nerve, with the root canal completed at a second visit. Several Riverdale partner dentists can start the same day.
Do Riverdale emergency dentists treat children?
Yes. Tell the operator the patient's age and we will refer you to a pediatric dentist or a general dentist in Riverdale who treats children.
