Emergency

The cost of treating a dental emergency will depend on the severity of your condition and the type of procedure needed for proper treatment. Many insurance companies will cover some of the costs associated with treating an emergency, but some procedures may be considered non-essential and not covered by insurance policies. Before undergoing any treatment plan for your dental emergency, it's important to understand what costs you'll be responsible for so you can decide if it's within your budget.

While many people may feel more comfortable going to the emergency room for a dental emergency because of its availability and convenience, most hospitals don't have the resources available for complex procedures like replacing damaged teeth or performing root canals. Emergency rooms are usually only equipped to help in cases of facial trauma. If you think your situation requires more specialized care than what an ER can provide, it's best to go directly to a dentist's office instead.

Absolutely! Seeing a qualified dentist as soon as possible is the best way to address your dental emergency and prevent any permanent damage. Even if you think your problem may be minor or something you can handle on your own, it's always a good idea to get it checked out by a professional to make sure there aren't any underlying issues.

A dental emergency is any urgent oral health problem that requires immediate attention from a dentist. This can include things like severe tooth pain, infections, injuries or trauma to the face or teeth, abscesses, broken dentures, and lost fillings or crowns. If you're experiencing pain or discomfort, it's important to seek treatment right away to prevent any serious complications.
