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.

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.
