How We Treat Dental Emergencies

Your first dental emergency can often feel scary, but please don’t panic. We’ll walk you through how we’ll treat it, ensuring you know what to expect from care. In fact, you can expect these four things from the treatment process:

• A Speedy Visit – When you call us, we’ll set your appointment for the earliest time slot available. Our team can also provide aid tips over the phone while you wait for it.
• An Urgent Oral Exam – You’ll undergo an urgent oral exam once you reach our office. Through this assessment, Dr. Kim will learn the source of your problem and how best to relieve your pain.
• A Review of Findings – After the exam, we’ll share our final diagnosis and suggest some relevant procedures. We’ll then use your feedback to draft a treatment plan. (For the record, we’ll inform you of the treatment’s estimated time and cost.)
• Proper Dental Work – Our team will quickly fix your grin’s issue(s) after drafting your treatment plan. At that time, rest assured that we’ll help your smile heal and recover. Whether you need a dental crown, root canal, filling, or something else, you can count on us!

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

When facing a dental emergency, you should always call us; we’ll quickly see you and treat your smile. Still, you can also take steps to manage your issue before your treatment visit. Simply click on one (or more) of the icons below and use the related tips. Doing so will make you more stable for your appointment, ensuring you have a smoother treatment.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies 

Since dental emergencies aren’t all the same, the cost of treating one always varies. You’ll need to consult Dr. Kim to get a precise estimate for your own care. Once you’ve done that, our team can walk you through your treatment’s pricing factors and find ways to make it less costly. We’ll even outline some helpful payment options, including our Dental Savers Plan and flexible financing. For further details, please book a visit or call our office.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies aren’t entirely avoidable, but you can still reduce your risk of having one. Simply try to do the following:

• Brush your teeth twice daily and floss at least once daily.
• At least every six months, visit your local dentist for checkups and cleanings.
• Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages, crack nuts, etc.
• As best you can, avoid chewing hard objects like ice, nails, or pen caps.
• Wear a mouthguard to defend yourself from sports injuries and nighttime grinding.
