How We Treat Dental Emergencies

It’s not always obvious what to do in a dental emergency. First and foremost, you should call our office. You don’t want to put off your care and cause your situation to get worse! Once you’ve gotten in touch with us, here’s what you can expect our team to do next:

Over the phone, we’ll ask you questions about your specific symptoms and schedule an appointment for you quickly. We can also provide first-aid tips for handling any discomfort until then.

When you get to our office, one of our friendly and experienced dentists will carefully inspect the area of your mouth that’s bothering you. They’ll also work to relieve any immediate pain you might be experiencing.

After your exam, our dentists will reveal what they found and recommend some options for treating the problem. Our team will also go over what you can expect in terms of costs and length of treatment.

We can provide a variety of emergency dental services in-house here at Lake View Dental Center, including root canal therapy, TMJ treatment, and wisdom tooth extractions. Whichever solution your smile needs, we’ll always prioritize your safety and comfort.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

No two dental emergencies are exactly the same, and neither are any two costs of treating them. While one patient may only need a small filling, for example, another might require a more extensive procedure, like root canal therapy. Of course, each of these treatments will incur their own costs. Our team is more than happy to assist you in navigating these costs and exploring your financing options, such as dental insurance and our in-house savings program.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Dental problems can’t always be avoided, but a few basic steps can go a long way toward decreasing your risk of dental emergencies. These include:

Brushing your teeth for two full minutes twice each day.

Cleaning between your teeth with floss or a water pick at least once a day.

Eating and drinking sugary items in moderation.

Not using your teeth to open bottles or packaging, chew your fingernails, crunch ice cubes, etc.

Seeing our dentists for two routine checkups per year.
