How We Treat Dental Emergencies
While every dental emergency is different, we do tend to follow these four broad steps when it comes to treating them:
- Same-Day Appointment: We are proud to offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies. While we’re setting up your visit, we may give you some tips for managing your pain on your own.
- Emergency Exam: We can only treat your dental issue once we know what it is. As such, when you get to our office, we’ll complete a thorough examination of your smile.
- Review Findings: Our team will review the underlying cause of your emergency as well as how severe it is. We will then explain what solutions are available, how long they will likely take, and how much you can expect to pay for them.
- Get the Care You Deserve: No matter what kind of treatment you need, we will make our goal to complete it as quickly as possible.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
If you’re experiencing unusual or severe pain in your mouth, or if you have a tooth that has been visibly injured in some way, you may be in need of emergency dental care. Below are some common examples of emergency dental situations; as soon as you notice any of these symptoms, pick up the phone and call our San Ramon dental office.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Some toothaches can be remedied with fillings while others require root canal treatment. In other words, the kind of treatment you need can vary depending on the nature of your dental emergency – and the same goes for the cost. There’s no way to know how much you can expect to pay for emergency dental care until after we’ve examined your mouth, but rest assured that an estimate will be provided so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
It’s easier to avoid dental emergencies if you’re diligent about taking care of your smile. To keep your teeth and gums safe, we recommend that you:
- Brush at least two times a day (or three times a day if possible).
- Floss daily to remove plaque from the spaces between your teeth.
- Eat fewer sugary foods and more smile-friendly options like crunchy fruits and vegetables.
- Get a mouthguard if you play sports.
- Use scissors instead of your teeth to open packages.
- Visit us twice a year for dental checkups and cleanings.
