Emergencies

Dr. Riesenberger is available, or has coverage, to handle emergencies 24 hours a day/seven days a week.  Please call the office if an emergency occurs, and be sure to save any teeth that have been dislodged.  If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, it should be rinsed in water and either replaced in the socket or placed in a container of milk or the patient’s own saliva.  The tooth and any fractured pieces should be brought to the dentist with your child as soon as possible.
