What to Do in a Dental Emergency

• Contact Our Office to Schedule an Appointment – You’ll need to call our team to discuss the occurrence and find out what you can do to reduce the pain while at home. We will not only work to get you in as soon as possible but also provide helpful tips so that you don’t cause additional harm to your smile.
• Undergo a Thorough Examination – Our team of specialists will take digital images and conduct a visual examination to identify the problem area and compile the necessary information about your case.
• Analyze the Findings and Produce a Treatment Plan – Once we have finished our examination, we’ll analyze our findings and build a treatment plan that targets the problem area using one or more restorative solutions.
• Receive Timely Care – After reviewing the plan with you, we will begin to administer the appropriate care to help you out of pain and give you back your beautiful, healthy, functional smile.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Certain dental emergencies should be immediately cared for at a local emergency room, such as excessive bleeding, continuous swelling, and even a fractured or broken jaw. However, the injuries listed below are just some of the most common ones we can treat in-house, saving you time and money while working toward a healthier smile.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Not all dental emergencies are indeed preventable, but you can be proactive about your oral health and smile just by:

• Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home
• Wearing appropriate mouth protection at night if you grind your teeth or while playing sports
• Giving up mouth-damaging habits like smoking or eating ice
• Eating nutrient-rich foods that positively impact your smile and body
• Keeping up with your regular six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings

The Cost of Treating Dental Emergencies

The cost of treating dental emergencies cannot be determined until we have a chance to review your current injury. Based on our treatment plan recommendations, we can build a cost estimate for you to review with our administrative team. This will allow you to learn more about the different payment options that are accepted. One thing you should remember is that avoiding timely care will only put your smile at further risk, so worry less about cost, and focus more on the status of your oral health.
