The Most Common Dental Emergencies
It’s not always easy to tell when a problem is a true dental emergency. This is why we encourage all of our patients to call us when experiencing tooth, gum, or jaw pain of any kind. If you want to know more about the types of situations we can treat in-house, though, you will find a list below, complete with what you can do to ensure the health and safety of your smile.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
The cost of dental emergencies varies with each patient. No two injuries are alike, so it’s imperative that you call and schedule an appointment to see Dr. Ashraghi. Only after a thorough examination will she be able to determine the type of restorative care you need and how much it is expected to cost. Most dental insurance companies provide one free emergency exam and will help pay a portion of the treatment costs. However, even if you are uninsured, our team will explain our in-house financing plan to ensure you get the care you need at a price you can afford.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Preventing dental emergencies may not always be possible, but there are a few things you can do to lower your risk. These include:
- Limiting unhealthy foods like sugars and starches as much as possible, as they can cause cavities and gum disease
- Keeping your regular six-month appointments with your dentist
- Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home like brushing, flossing, and rinsing
- Giving up bad habits like smoking, eating ice, biting your fingernails, and using your teeth as tools
- Wearing a mouthguard if you play sports or struggle with grinding your teeth while you sleep
