How We Treat Dental Emergencies

If you find yourself dealing with an emergency dental situation, here’s how we help:

• Call Our Office – Dental emergencies need to be handled quickly before they have the chance to worsen into something more severe. You shouldn’t waste any time and you should call our office at once. After you’ve described your symptoms, we’ll let you know when to come in for treatment, even if it’s that very same day!
• Attend Your Appointment – Once you’re here, we’ll quickly examine your smile to determine the extent of the damage. This might involve taking X-rays, but we’ll work fast to identify the problem and alleviate any pain you’re feeling.
• Receive Urgent Care – When we’ve determined the best course of action, we’ll carry out a customized treatment plan that may involve one or more procedures. In any case, your smile will be mended as swiftly as possible so we can send you back home with no discomfort or worries!

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Even if your symptoms don’t seem very serious or outright painful, it’s unwise to brush things off and assume they’ll improve on their own. We strongly encourage you to give our office a call if you’re experiencing abnormal symptoms involving your smile. We can provide you with assistance over the phone up until your appointment. In the meantime, here’s a brief list of some of the most common dental emergencies:

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

To put it simply, there is no set cost for emergency dental care—after all, every smile and situation is inherently different. However, as much as things may vary, it’s always going to be cheaper and easier, as well as less painful to you, to seek treatment sooner rather than later. If you have any concerns about paying for your treatment, don’t fret! Our team would be more than happy to review your insurance benefits with you as well as other means of financial assistance.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

It’s always better to try to prevent dental emergencies from occurring in the first place; however, this is much easier said than done! These tips should help you out:

• Brush and floss daily; a healthy mouth is far less likely to encounter issues that result in emergencies.
• Never bite into hard, non-food objects or use your teeth as tools to open packaging, as this can result in enamel damage or worse.
• Avoid harmful oral habits like smoking or using tobacco products.
• If you play sports frequently, always wear a protective mouthguard.
• Visit your dentist twice a year for routine preventive care; they’ll be able to identify hidden issues before they have the chance to worsen.
