When a periodontal emergency strikes, immediate care can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we provide same-day emergency appointments to address urgent periodontal conditions like severe gum infections, abscesses, bleeding gums, and traumatic injuries to the gums and supporting structures. Led by Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist with 28 years of experience, our practice serves Jamesburg residents with advanced treatment options and Cherry financing to make emergency care accessible when you need it most.
No referral is needed to schedule an emergency appointment at our practice. We understand dental emergencies don’t wait for regular business hours, so when Dr. Reich is in the office, we prioritize getting patients in the same day to address their concerns. Our services include comprehensive emergency periodontal treatments using state-of-the-art technology like LANAP laser therapy, which minimizes discomfort and speeds recovery.
Periodontal emergencies require prompt professional attention to prevent further damage to your gums, teeth, and jawbone. Common symptoms include intense, throbbing pain in your gums or teeth, sudden swelling in the gums or face, heavy bleeding that won’t stop with pressure, loose teeth that weren’t loose before, and pus discharge around teeth or gums.
Periodontal abscesses develop when bacteria infect the gum tissue, creating painful pockets of pus between the tooth and gum. These infections can spread quickly to surrounding tissues and even enter the bloodstream if left untreated. Dr. Reich has extensive training from SUNY Stony Brook’s Periodontal Residency program and three years of research at Montefiore Medical Center, giving him the knowledge to handle even the most complex emergency cases.
At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we offer several periodontal procedures to address emergencies effectively. For infected gums, Dr. Reich performs thorough debridement to remove bacteria and diseased tissue, often using our LANAP laser for precise treatment with less bleeding and faster healing than traditional methods. If you have a knocked-out tooth or severe trauma, he can assess the damage to surrounding periodontal structures and develop a treatment plan to preserve your oral health.
LANAP laser therapy represents one of the most advanced options for emergency gum disease treatment. This FDA-cleared procedure targets infected tissue while leaving healthy gums intact, reducing the need for cutting and stitching. Recovery is typically faster and more comfortable compared to conventional surgery. The laser also stimulates bone regeneration around affected teeth, helping stabilize loose teeth that might otherwise be lost.
For patients facing tooth loss, dental implants offer a permanent solution that preserves jawbone health. Dr. Reich has placed thousands of implants throughout his career and teaches as Director and Associate Professor of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College. His academic role keeps him at the forefront of the latest implant techniques and technologies, which directly benefits our patients.
We know emergency dental treatment can be a financial strain. That’s why Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, accepts Cherry financing to help make emergency periodontal care more affordable.
We also participate with Delta Dental Premier and Cigna PPO, and work with many other dental PPO plans to maximize your insurance benefits. Our office files claims on your behalf and provides benefit estimates before treatment, so you understand your out-of-pocket costs upfront.
After treating your immediate emergency, Dr. Reich will work with you to develop a prevention plan. Many periodontal emergencies stem from untreated gum disease, which affects nearly half of American adults. Regular periodontal maintenance appointments, typically scheduled every three to four months, help keep your gums healthy and catch problems before they become emergencies.
Good home care is also essential. Brush twice daily, floss once daily, and consider adding an antimicrobial mouth rinse to your routine if recommended by Dr. Reich. If you smoke, quitting significantly reduces your risk of gum disease and periodontal emergencies. Our team provides guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques during your visits.
Some patients benefit from bone grafting procedures to restore areas where bone loss has occurred due to advanced gum disease or tooth loss. These procedures strengthen the foundation for your teeth or prepare sites for future dental implants. Dr. Reich evaluates each patient’s unique situation to recommend the most appropriate treatments for long-term oral health.
