How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Treating your dental emergency requires that you first call our office to schedule an appointment. A member of our front desk staff will find a time for you to come in so that we can begin to address the problem. When you arrive, you’ll be escorted to a treatment room, where we will take digital images and X-rays (if necessary) that allow for further analysis of the problem area. After crafting a personalized treatment plan, we will work to quickly alleviate your pain and administer necessary care.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Not all dental emergencies are the same. Some are more time-sensitive and serious than others that seem like no big deal. And some don’t even cause outright pain! But no matter what kind of injury you’ve suffered, you’re always encouraged to call our office for help. If you’re unsure whether to notify our team of your situation, take a look at the common dental emergencies we treat below.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Some people put off seeking dental care, even though they’re in pain, due to financial concerns. However, avoiding treatment because you’re worried about money or you think your situation isn’t serious can lead to more significant problems down the road. We cannot determine the cost of your dental emergency treatment until you’ve come in for an emergency examination. Once we have identified the issue and recommend a restorative method of care, we can discuss ways to maximize your dental benefits as well as go over alternative payment options to ease your financial burden.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
We know that not all dental emergencies are preventable, but those that stem from poor oral hygiene can be minimized or avoided altogether, especially if you adopt these habits:
- Brush your teeth using a soft-bristled brush for two minutes, floss at least once a day, and rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash to eliminate bad bacteria.
- Continue to keep your six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings to allow our team to check for any signs of decay or gum disease that might exist.
- Wear a customized nightguard when sleeping if you are prone to bruxism.
- Wear a sports guard if you play sports or engage in physical activities that might put your teeth and gums at risk.
- Eat a diet full of nutrient-rich foods that include leafy greens, fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and dairy.
- Give up unhealthy habits that put your smile at risk, such as smoking and eating ice.
