How We Treat Dental Emergencies
- Schedule your appointment – Once you get in touch with a member of our team, they’ll ask you specific questions about your emergency, evaluate how quickly you need to visit, and book your appointment accordingly. They can also give first-aid advice on alleviating discomfort in the meantime.
- Perform a fast yet thorough examination – When you arrive at our office, Dr. Kaiser will visually examine your mouth and capture X-rays to pinpoint the source and extent of the problem. She can also work to relieve any immediate pain you might be experiencing.
- Review your treatment options – Next, Dr. Kaiser will share her suggestions for how to address the emergency and prevent it from returning later on.
- Provide the care you need – After we’ve gone over your treatment plan, as well as the pricing information, we can begin getting your smile’s health back on track.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Sometimes, what “counts” as a dental emergency isn’t immediately obvious. As a rule of thumb, give us a call if you’re dealing with any unusual pain or discomfort. Even if it turns out not to be a major issue, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Below are some of the most common dental emergencies we see, all of which need attention as soon as possible.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Until you’ve scheduled an appointment with our team, we can’t give you a reliable estimate for how much your emergency dental care is going to cost. That’s because every smile, and every oral health issue, is different.
Naturally, treating a tooth infection with antibiotics is going to cost less than restoring a broken tooth with a crown. Before we move forward with any procedures, we’ll make sure you fully understand all of the associated costs to avoid any unpleasant surprises later on.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
While it’s almost impossible to prevent 100% of dental emergencies, you can drastically cut your risk by maintaining a few simple habits. These include:
- Brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste for two minutes twice a day.
- Flossing at least once a day.
- Seeing Dr. Kaiser at regular intervals for checkups so that she can diagnose dental problems before they turn into emergencies.
- Not chewing in hard, inedible objects that could fracture your teeth (ice cubes, fingernails, pens, etc.).
- Wearing a protective mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night or play sports.
