How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Even if you’ve never gotten urgent oral care before, you don’t need to panic. Our office is happy to give you a rundown of how it works. So, here are four things to expect from your emergency dental visit:
- A Same-Day Appointment – Once you’ve contacted us, we’ll book you for the earliest available time we have. (You may even see us the same day you call!) Plus, we can provide first-aid tips over the phone.
- An Emergency Exam – Right when you arrive for the visit, our team will perform a quick emergency exam. This step lets us learn the source and extent of your problem. (In the short-term, the exam will also reduce your immediate pain.)
- A Review of Findings – After the oral exam, our dentists will show you their preliminary findings. They’ll then suggest some possible procedures. Next, our practice will draft a custom treatment plan based on your preferences. (While outlining the plan, we’ll explain your procedure’s estimated price and timeframe.)
- Top-Quality Dental Care – Our team will quickly fix your dental issue once the treatment plan is drafted. After all, you can count on us for fillings, root canal therapy, or anything else you need. The ultimate result will be a healthy smile and gums!
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies may have their differences, but some are more common than others. You should thus visit us immediately if you suffer one. As it happens, our team is well-equipped to treat a wide range of common dental emergencies. Therefore, don’t hesitate to call us if you experience any of the following.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Depending on what type of dental emergency you are experiencing, your treatment could vary. For example, those who have tooth pain may only need a dental filling, while others could need root canal therapy and a crown to address an infection. It all comes down to your unique situation. Of course, that doesn’t mean you should skip treatment you need to address a dental emergency. We’ll work with your directly to build a treatment plan that fits into your budget.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Although our Painesville emergency dentist is always here to restore decayed, cracked, and otherwise damaged teeth, they also want to help prevent that from happening in the first place. While not all dental emergencies can be avoided, there are steps you can take to dramatically reduce your risk of experiencing one going forward. For example, you should:
Root Canals
A root canal, despite its extremely bad reputation, is a very useful procedure that allows our team to relieve the most severe dental pain and save teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. We use them when the innermost portion of a tooth, called the dental pulp, has become infected, which can lead to the mother of all toothaches. With a root canal, we can easily eliminate this pain while keeping you completely comfortable during the entire procedure.
Tooth Extractions
In general, we do what we can to preserve natural teeth as long as possible. However, there are times when a tooth must be removed. We usually perform this sort of “extraction” if:
- A tooth is too damaged to be restored
- Gum disease has deteriorated the bone supporting a tooth
- A baby tooth refuses to fall out naturally/is blocking an erupting adult tooth
- Room needs to be created for a denture/orthodontic treatment
