Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

Until we’ve conducted an emergency exam, we simply can’t give an accurate estimate of how much your care will cost. After we’ve evaluated your situation, we’ll recommend a course of treatment that will best address your symptoms. Before going through any procedures, we’ll make sure you’re fully aware of any costs. We’ll also help you navigate your dental insurance and maximize your benefits to offset some of the costs. For patients without insurance, we offer an in-house membership plan that makes saving easy.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Not all dental emergencies can be avoided, but as long as you take certain precautions, you can potentially save yourself a great deal of time and money by reducing your risk. In fact, the easiest way to prevent most dental emergencies is to invest in two dental checkups per year and be diligent about your daily oral hygiene routine. Other helpful tips include maintaining a nutritious diet low in processed sugars, wearing a mouthguard while playing sports, and never using your teeth to chew hard, inedible items.

Root Canal Therapy

Many people feel nervous when they hear the words “root canal,” but let us assure you this treatment is nothing to worry about. In fact, it’s much more likely to relieve pain than cause it. With root canal therapy, we remove the diseased tissue from the center of the tooth that is causing a severe toothache. Not only does this alleviate the pain, but it also prevents a tooth infection from worsening, potentially saving it from needing an extraction.

Tooth Extractions

Extracting a tooth is never our first choice for treating a damaged or infected tooth. We’ll try to preserve your natural smile to the best of our ability, but sometimes, a tooth simply cannot be repaired with any other treatment. In cases like these, we’ll make sure to keep you comfortable and safe during and after your tooth extraction to ensure you heal properly and without complications.
