FAQ
What types of situations are considered dental emergencies?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost dental restorations and injuries to the mouth or jaw. If you experience severe pain, trauma or sudden changes in your dental health, it is important to seek prompt care.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If you knock out a tooth, handle it carefully by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water and try to place it back in the socket. If re-insertion is not possible, store the tooth in milk or a saline solution and seek immediate dental care.
How can I manage pain until I can see a dentist?
For pain management, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers and apply a cold compress to the affected area. Avoid chewing on the side of the pain and maintain good oral hygiene. Contact our dentist as soon as possible for further evaluation and treatment.
Are emergency dental visits more expensive than regular visits?
Emergency dental visits may be more expensive due to the immediate nature of the care provided. However, addressing issues promptly can prevent more severe and costly problems later. Check with your dental office about payment options and insurance coverage for emergency care.
