The Most Common Dental Emergencies
We recommend that you call our office as soon as your little one expresses severe dental discomfort. Even if it is not something that is viewed as a dental emergency, it is better that we evaluate the issue than hope that it goes away on its own. But should your child experience any of the issues below, make sure to give our office a call.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
No two dental emergencies are exactly the same; for instance, even if two children suffer knocked-out teeth, many factors can determine how they will be treated. This is why when you bring your child in for an emergency appointment, after we’ve examined them thoroughly, we will generate a cost estimate once we know how we plan to treat the issue. Based on your insurance plan, they may agree to cover the emergency exam itself, but ultimately, the real cost comes with the type of restorative care that is needed. Our team will work diligently to help you maximize your benefits and save on any out-of-pocket expenses.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Simply put, despite your best efforts, not all dental emergencies can be prevented. Some accidents are bound to happen, but there are ways you can minimize the potential of serious and prolonged discomfort. Some of the most effective ways to prevent serious dental injuries include making sure your child regularly brushes and flosses their teeth, maintaining their six-month dental checkups and cleanings, ensuring they eat healthy foods, and having them wear a mouthguard while playing sports.
