The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Some dental problems take months or years to develop — and they suddenly manifest themselves in the form of excruciating pain. Other dental emergencies are the result of a sudden trauma, such as an accident or a hard impact during a sports game. We are well-equipped to handle both types of situations. Below, you’ll find the most common dental emergencies we treat, as well as important information on how to handle them at home and how we are likely to treat them once you reach our office.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The cost of treating dental emergencies varies from case to case. If you just need a siple prescription or filling, your cost will be less than if you need a major treatment, such as a crown or root canal therapy. During your appointment, we will be transparent about the price associated with any recommended procedure. We will also help you explore avenues that can make your treatment easier to afford, such as insurance and financing.
