The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can develop in a wide variety of ways, with symptoms that differ from one patient to the next. One thing that all dental emergencies have in common, though, is that they all need prompt treatment from a dentist. Below, you’ll find a list of the most common dental emergencies.

Understanding the Cost of Treating Dental Emergencies

There is no universal cost of treating dental emergencies. After all, the cause, extent, and recommended treatment for different emergencies varies quite a bit. Rest assured that before we go through with any procedures, we’ll focus on relieving your pain first and foremost. That way, you’ll be clear-headed as we discuss your payment options, such as dental insurance and third-party financing.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies aren’t entirely avoidable, but you can do certain things to decrease your risk, such as:

  • Brushing and flossing every day to reduce the chance of tooth decay and infections.
  • Attending six-month dental checkups and cleanings to catch potential emergencies early on.
  • Wearing a protective mouthguard or nightguard if you play sports or grind your teeth while sleeping.
  • Never chewing on hard, inedible items like ice, pens, pencils, fingernails, etc.
