How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Are you experiencing a severe dental problem that needs attention immediately? Your first step should be to give us a call. From there, we will be able to handle your situation by doing the following:
- Scheduling an appointment the same day – On the phone, we’ll ask you to provide answers to specific questions regarding your symptoms so we can understand what’s going on. Then, we’ll work as quickly as possible to get you scheduled for an appointment, ideally the same day. We’ll also be able to provide first-aid tips for handling your symptoms before you arrive.
- Evaluating the damage – When you arrive, our team members will capture digital X-rays, and a dentist will examine your mouth to assess the cause and extent of your problem.
- Going over your treatment options – Once our dentists have reached a diagnosis, they’ll share their findings with you and go over your tretament options . Additionally, we can discuss the timeline, estimated costs, and payment options.
- Treating your smile – After you’ve decided on a treatment plan, we’ll get started healing your smile, whether it’s through dental fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, or another service.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
There are numerous types of dental emergencies that can occur, but they generally share one trait: they will only get worse the longer you wait to see a dentist. How can you know if you’re having a dental emergency? You can find a handful of some of the most common dental emergencies our dental office treats as well as tips to handle them below.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Due to the sheer number of dental emergencies that can occur as well as the treatments available to handle them, it’s hard to know for sure what your costs will be until we’ve seen you or your loved one. Costs for dental emergencies are influenced by the source of the issue as well as the procedures needed to treat it (and prevent it from worsening). For example, patients with small cavities may only need a dental filling and therefore won’t pay nearly as much as someone with a major injury that requires tooth extractions and replacements. No matter what your needs may be, our team will be sure to get you out of any immediate pain and help you review your financing options so you can make an informed decision on your care before agreeing to treatment.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies are by their very nature unpredictable. Despite this fact, it is possible to reduce your risk dramatically by keeping a few habits in mind:
- Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep teeth strong and free of plaque buildup.
- Visit South Jersey Dental Studio once every six months for a checkup to catch potential emergencies in their early stages.
- Do not chew on hard, inedible objects. This includes pens, pencils, ice cubes, and your fingernails.
- To protect your teeth from sporting injuries or chronic teeth grinding, wear a custom oral appliance.
