The Most Common Dental Emergencies
The first step you should always take if you experience a dental emergency is to contact our dental office. We will do our best to carve out an appointment time for you in our schedule on the same day so you don’t have to sit in pain. Our team can also provide you with over-the-phone first-aid guidance to ensure that your mouth doesn’t sustain any additional damage between the time of the accident and when you get to our prosthodontic office.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Every emergency situation is unique, which is why we’ll examine your mouth beforehand in order to determine what treatment you need. More involved procedures that require the placement of restorations and tooth extractions will be more costly than those that address minor damage. At Edison Prosthodontics, we accept many PPO plans and are more than happy to file insurance claims on your behalf to make this type of care easily affordable.
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
Although you can’t prevent ALL dental emergencies, there are some proven ways you can reduce your risk of experiencing one. Here are some tips to help make that happen:
- Maintain good at-home oral hygiene.
- Visit our specialty dental office for semi-annual checkups and cleanings.
- Don't wear down your teeth by chewing on ice, fingernails, and other hard items.
- Maintain a nutritious diet that is low in added sugar.
- Wear a protective mouthguard when you play sports.
