When a dental emergency occurs, the first thing you should do is give our dental office a call. This way, you can get helpful advice on managing your dental emergency as well as schedule an appointment as soon as possible, ideally for the same day. The steps you’ll need to take will vary depending on the type of emergency you’re experiencing. Below, we’ve listed important steps to take next should you experience a toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a similar dental emergency.
Providing an exact cost for your dental emergency treatment can be difficult until we’ve had a chance to examine your dental issue more closely. For example, an aching tooth could be caused by decay, which only requires a detailed cleaning and placement of a dental filling. However, more serious issues may need a full-blown crown or root canal therapy, which costs more. Either way, the care you receive should never be put off because it only lets your dental issue become worse and likely more expensive.
As you’d expect, it’s better to prevent a dental emergency than to manage one. Luckily, most urgent oral issues can be avoided with good oral health practices. These include habits like good dental hygiene, regular dental visits, and a mouth-healthy diet. (You can also protect your teeth from injuries and accidents with mouthguards.) By following them diligently, you’ll greatly reduce your risk for most dental problems – tooth decay, cavities, infections, etc.
