How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Treating dental emergencies in-house is one of the many reasons so many patients continue to trust us with their oral healthcare needs. When calling to alert us to your situation, we work fast to schedule an appointment and provide helpful ways to manage the pain while you wait. As soon as you arrive, we’ll begin taking digital images of your mouth before Dr. Jayswal or Dr. Patel examines the problem area. After building a treatment plan that indicates the type of damage and which restorative solution will be best to improve the situation, one of our dentists will determine if you can receive same-day treatment or if you need to return for more extensive care at a later date.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
There are many dental emergencies that our dentists can treat in-house. This not only means greater convenience for you and your family, but it also keeps you from sitting in an ER waiting area for hours. The icons below indicate the type of injuries we see regularly, but if you sustain a broken jaw or experience excessive bleeding or swelling, do not wait to get to a local emergency room.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The only way we can determine how much your dental emergency will cost is by performing an oral examination on the day you arrive. We’ll survey the damage and determine the severity before building a plan and indicating which type of restorative treatment we’ll use to repair your smile. These factors, as well as others, will be used to create your cost estimate, which we will review with you. Our team will also go over ways you can save by using your dental insurance, flexible financing, or enrolling in our in-house membership plan.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
You can’t prevent every kind of dental emergency, but you can take steps to lower your risk, especially when it comes to those that form because of poor oral health and hygiene. Some preventive measures you can take include:
- Meeting with Dr. Jayswal or Dr. Patel for regular six-month dental exams and cleanings.
- Staying on top of your oral hygiene routine, which means brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, flossing at least once a day, and using mouthwash regularly.
- Giving up bad habits, like smoking or eating ice.
- Protecting your mouth while playing sports or if you grind your teeth. We can supply you with a custom athletic mouthguard or nightguard.
- Eating healthy foods as opposed to sugars and starches, and being mindful when attempting to eat hard, crunchy foods.
