How We Treat Dental Emergencies

• Same-Day Visit: We can often see patients with emergencies on the same day that they call us, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need urgent care. Be sure to follow any first-aid advice that our team gives you over the phone so that you can protect your smile until you can get to our office.
• Emergency Exam: As part of your emergency appointment, we’ll complete a comprehensive examination of your mouth. This will allow us to figure out exactly what’s causing your oral health issue.
• Review of Findings: We will give you a full explanation of what we found during our examination. Then, based on your feedback, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan for stopping your pain and restoring your health. Before you need to commit to any treatments, you’ll be given any relevant information about the cost and the timeline.
• Necessary Treatment: Our team will carry out the agreed-upon treatment plan so that you can enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile again. The exact kind of treatment performed will vary from case to case, but rest assured that we’ll do everything we can to help you find relief as quickly as possible.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can come in many different forms, but no matter what the nature of your issue is, you should always make a point of seeking care from a professional as soon as possible. Below, you’ll find some of the most common dental emergencies that our team is prepared to help you with.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

Just like with medical emergencies, emergency dental treatment will always be different from patient to patient, depending on the situation, and this will be reflected in the cost. To minimize the pain and expense of an urgent dental problem, acting fast is your best bet. This way, we can take care of the issue early using a more conservative method. Our dental office is in-network with many dental insurance plans and offers flexible financing as well, so we’re always able to work with patients to ensure their care is affordable.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

• Always wear a mouthguard whenever you play sports.
• Don’t use your teeth to open packages or remove tags from clothing.
• Chew carefully when eating particularly hard, chewy, or sticky foods.
• Don’t chew on things that can wear down your enamel, such as ice, pens, pencils, fingernails, etc.
• Visit Anderson Dental Center at least twice a year for a checkup and cleaning—these allow us to spot minor problems before they can become big emergencies.
