When a periodontal emergency strikes, you need care immediately. At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we understand that gum infections, dental trauma, and severe tooth pain don’t wait for convenient appointment times. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments for Edison residents experiencing urgent periodontal concerns. Led by Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist with 28 years of experience, our East Brunswick periodontal practice provides prompt, effective treatment when you need it most.
No referral is needed to schedule your emergency visit. We accept patients directly and work with Cherry financing to make urgent care accessible when dental emergencies threaten your oral health and overall well-being. Our periodontal procedures address a wide range of urgent conditions, from acute infections to trauma-related issues requiring immediate attention.
Periodontal emergencies can develop suddenly or result from untreated conditions that worsen over time. Recognizing when you need immediate care helps prevent complications and protects your long-term oral health.
Gum abscesses cause severe pain, swelling, and sometimes fever. These infections develop when bacteria enters gum tissue, creating a pocket of pus that requires prompt drainage and treatment. According to the American Dental Association, abscesses form when bacteria penetrate the tooth pulp through decay or periodontal disease, and they demand immediate professional care to prevent the infection from spreading.
Loose teeth from advanced gum disease or trauma require urgent evaluation. When periodontal disease progresses, it destroys the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Immediate treatment can sometimes save teeth that might otherwise be lost. Dr. Reich uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess damage and recommend the most effective treatment approach.
Severe bleeding after dental procedures or spontaneous gum bleeding indicates underlying issues that need attention. While some post-treatment bleeding is normal, persistent or heavy bleeding requires professional evaluation.
Dr. Reich earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1991 and completed his periodontal residency at SUNY Stony Brook in 1997. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, he brings extensive training to every emergency case. His three years as a research fellow at Montefiore Medical Center and his role as Director and Associate Professor of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College ensure he stays current with the latest treatment protocols.
Our practice offers several advantages for Edison patients seeking emergency periodontal care. Same-day appointments accommodate urgent situations when waiting isn’t an option. We schedule emergency visits promptly, often seeing patients within hours of their call. Our convenient East Brunswick location, just minutes from Edison, provides easy access when you’re dealing with pain or anxiety about your condition.
Advanced technology, including 3D printing for surgical guides and LANAP laser therapy, allows us to provide precise, minimally invasive treatments even in emergency situations. LANAP laser gum surgery offers FDA-cleared treatment for gum disease with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional surgery.
Emergency dental care shouldn’t be delayed because of cost concerns. We accept Cherry financing, making it easier to get the treatment you need and manage payment over time. Our team can discuss financing options during your visit and help you understand your coverage.
Many dental PPO plans provide coverage for periodontal emergencies. We proudly participate with Delta Dental Premier and Cigna PPO, and we work with many other dental insurance plans to maximize your benefits. Our office files insurance claims on your behalf and provides benefit estimates so you understand your expected costs before treatment begins.
For patients without insurance or facing unexpected expenses, Cherry financing offers flexible payment plans that make urgent care more accessible. This financing option allows you to proceed with the necessary treatment without delay.
Emergency appointments follow a streamlined process designed to address your immediate concerns while providing thorough care. When you call, our team gathers information about your symptoms and schedules your appointment based on urgency.
Dr. Reich begins with a focused examination of the affected area, using digital imaging when necessary to assess the full extent of the problem. He explains his findings in clear terms and discusses treatment options. For conditions like periodontitis, he may recommend immediate intervention to control infection and prevent further damage.
Pain management is a priority. We provide appropriate anesthesia and take steps to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. Many procedures can be completed during your emergency visit, while others may require a follow-up appointment for comprehensive care.
Our friendly staff understands that dental emergencies create stress and anxiety. From your first phone call through your treatment and recovery, we focus on making your experience as comfortable as possible. Patients consistently mention how our team’s approach helps them feel at ease even during urgent visits.
While we’re here for emergencies, preventing urgent situations protects your oral health and saves you discomfort. Regular periodontal maintenance appointments help catch problems before they become emergencies. For patients with gum disease, consistent professional care reduces the risk of acute infections and bone loss.
Understanding warning signs helps you seek care before conditions worsen. Persistent bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, and teeth that feel loose all indicate problems requiring professional attention. Early intervention often prevents the need for emergency treatment.
If you experience sudden severe pain, significant swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, contact us immediately. These symptoms indicate conditions that need prompt professional care to prevent complications.
Edison residents experiencing periodontal emergencies can count on Dr. Reich and our team for prompt, effective care. With 28 years of experience as a board-certified periodontist, advanced technology, and a commitment to patient comfort, we provide the urgent treatment you need in a professional, welcoming environment.
