Dental emergencies can be alarming and overwhelming, but we encourage you to stay calm! It’s important that you keep a cool head so you can act quickly and correctly. Should you or a loved one experience a dental emergency, follow these steps:
There are many different types of dental emergencies. Some situations need to be treated as quickly as possible, while others can wait until the next available appointment. Nonetheless, whether you’re dealing with a bad toothache or multiple knocked out teeth, it’s always best to seek out professional care as soon as you can, even if you’re not sure if your situation counts as a dental emergency. This will help limit any damage to the smile and enable our team to relieve pain as well. When you call in, we’ll give you a few first-aid tips so you can get a better handle on the situation. Below, you’ll find important information about handling some of the most common dental emergencies we treat here at Legacy Dental.
Pain and price are two common concerns for patients, especially in emergency situations. Not to worry – we will alleviate your pain as quickly as possible, and we will review both your treatment options and the associated prices beforehand. In the meantime, you can read on to learn why every dental emergency is different, if dental insurance will cover a portion of the cost, and how taking care of your smile can save you money in the long run!
Some dental emergencies can be easily solved with a prescription, while other patients may need a root canal and crown to adequately address their problem. In other words, there is no set price for emergency dentistry. Our treatment recommendations will be based solely on the needs of the patient. Rest assured, should you ever require urgent dental care, we’ll quickly alleviate your pain and go over your treatment options so you’ll know exactly what you’ll be expected to pay. We’ll also review the ins and outs of your dental insurance benefits to help you maximize them to the fullest.
Fortunately, dental insurance providers often cover a portion of the cost of essential restorative care, including fillings, crowns, root canal treatment, and extractions. Plus, many plans include additional perks, like a free emergency exam each year. So, it’s worth reading through the fine print instead of assuming that you’ll have to pay for the treatments you need completely out-of-pocket. We’d be more than happy to help if you find yourself with some unanswered questions, so don’t hesitate to get in touch or ask us for further insight during your appointment!
When we share tips, like brushing your teeth for two full minutes each time, it’s because they can protect your smile from serious harm (and your wallet from an unexpected bill). So, do your best to implement good habits into your daily routine, including flossing consistently and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash daily. It’s also important that you break bad habits, like smoking, and that you visit us every six months for a dental checkup and teeth cleaning.
Important note: If you’re dealing with a throbbing toothache or any other abnormal dental symptoms, don’t take the “wait and see” approach in an attempt to save money. Remember, every $1 invested in preventive care can save you upwards of $50 on restorative and cosmetic care. Plus, the root of the problem will only get worse if left untreated. So, the best thing for your smile and your wallet is to get an appointment on the calendar sooner rather than later.
