The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can come in many different forms and have a variety of potential causes. To help make sure you’re prepared for the worst-case scenario, here are some examples of particularly common dental emergencies; contact us immediately if you’re experiencing any of the following issues.

Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry

Although we’d love to be able to provide you with an estimate of the cost here, we need to have an in-depth understanding of your dental needs to give you an accurate number. The good news is that we can share some helpful information on the topic, including the factors that influence the price and whether or not dental insurance covers a portion of it. So, if you want to learn more, read on!

Every Dental Emergency is Different

As we mentioned above, we can only give you a reliable estimate after we have learned more about your situation, including the type of dental injury you’ve sustained and what kind of treatment you need. Following your exam, we will share our findings, discuss your treatment options, and answer any questions you have before working on your custom treatment plan. Of course, we will also discuss the cost (including the financial solutions available) so there aren’t any unpleasant surprises at the end of your visit.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Do you have dental insurance? If so, take a look at the fine print on your plan. You might be surprised to see that your provider will cover the cost of the emergency exam or a portion of the cost of the necessary restorative care. If you need any assistance understanding or utilizing your coverage, don’t hesitate to let us know! We’d be happy to do our part to help you get the most out of your benefits.

Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable

Are you uninsured? Don’t let that stop you from getting the dental care you need! We’re proud to welcome CareCredit, which is a trusted third-party financier that offers payment plans, so patients don’t have to pay for the entire cost of their treatment in one lump sum. Plus, there is often little-to-no interest attached, which makes visiting our emergency dentist in North Dallas even more affordable.

Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money

One of the biggest mistakes patients make in an attempt to save money is to take the “wait and see” approach. Although it seems like a good option, there’s one fatal flaw: tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems only get worse if neglected. So, the best thing for your smile and your wallet is to schedule an appointment with us when you first notice that something is wrong, even if it’s a relatively minor toothache.

Important reminder: Many dental injuries are preventable if you take good care of your smile. So, make sure to do what you can to protect it from harm, like brushing twice a day, cutting back on added sugar, and wearing a mouthguard during sports.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Naturally, it’s better to avoid dental emergencies altogether rather than to deal with them after they have already occurred. There are ways to lower the risk of a dental emergency happening, such as by:

  • Brushing your teeth at least two times a day.
  • Flossing thoroughly on a daily basis.
  • Scheduling biannual dental checkups and cleanings.
  • Limiting your intake of sugary foods and beverages.
  • Not using your teeth to tear open packages.
