How We Treat Dental Emergencies
The best thing you can do when a dental emergency occurs is stay calm and give our office a call. Our team can take the following steps to help you achieve the relief you deserve:
- Emergency Appointment: Once you have explained your situation to us, we will give you advice for dealing with your symptoms. Then we will schedule an emergency appointment for you.
- Emergency Exam: The cause and extent of your dental emergency won’t always be immediately obvious on the surface, which is why we will need to perform a thorough examination.
- Review Findings: We will go over the results of your examination with you and start the process of creating your customized treatment plan. We’ll explain what treatments are available, how long they can be expected to take, and what the final price will look like.
- Get the Care You Need: We will carry out your agreed-upon treatment plan so that you can ultimately enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile again.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
It may not always be immediately obvious when a dental issue warrants an emergency appointment. For that reason, we recommend erring on the side of caution and reaching out to our office right away if you have any concerns. For examples of common dental emergencies, please check the chart below.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The only sure way to determine how much you can expect to pay for emergency dental care is to visit our office. We need to examine your mouth thoroughly and determine what kind of treatment you need before we can give you any sort of estimate. Ignoring the problem will only result in larger dental issues that will likely cost more to treat – hence the importance of seeking care in a timely manner.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Naturally, the best way to deal with dental emergencies is to avoid them whenever possible. There are a number of ways you can keep your smile safe, such as:
- Investing in biannual checkups and cleanings with your dentist.
- Brushing your teeth at least two times a day for two minutes at a time.
- Making flossing a part of your daily oral hygiene routine.
- Not biting down on any hard foods that might damage your teeth, such as peppermints or ice cubes.
- Using scissors and other tools to open packages instead of your teeth.
