The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Not sure what counts as a dental emergency? Below are some common examples of situations that need to be treated by a dental professional as soon as possible. Please call us right away if you or a loved one ever experience the following issues. Remember, even if you’re not sure that your particular dental problem is truly urgent, it’s worth reaching out to our dental team anyway to see what they recommend.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
We can only give you an estimate of what the cost of emergency dental care will look like once we have completed an examination of your mouth. The amount you pay will be determined by the nature of your emergency and the kind of treatment you require. Note that we’re happy to accept a variety of dental insurance plans, and we also offer CareCredit financing for patients who may want to break up the cost of their care.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
If you want to minimize your risk for dental emergencies, you should make a point of brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. Additionally, you should identify habits that could damage your teeth (such as crunching ice and chewing fingernails) and break them as soon as possible. And of course, you should visit your dentist twice a year so that they can examine your smile for issues you may have overlooked.
The steps discussed above don’t necessarily guarantee that a dental emergency won’t happen, but they do go a long way toward helping you keep your smile safe.
