Emergency Dentistry FAQs

What should I do if I knock out a tooth? Is there a time frame in which the tooth can be saved, and how should I preserve it until I can get to your office? Are there any immediate steps I can take to improve the chances of saving the tooth? What if it's a child's baby tooth that gets knocked out?

For a knocked-out adult tooth, hold by the crown, rinse gently, and try reinserting. If not possible, place in milk or saliva. See us within 1 hour for the best chance to save. For baby teeth, don't reinsert.

How do you handle after-hours dental emergencies? Is there an emergency phone number I can call, and what kind of support can I expect if I have an urgent issue outside of regular office hours? How quickly can I typically be seen for an emergency appointment?

We offer after-hours support via emergency phone line. Dentist on call provides guidance and determines urgency. Same-day appointments are available for true emergencies. We aim to see urgent cases within 24 hours. Call immediately for fastest response.

What constitutes a true dental emergency versus a situation that can wait for a regular appointment? Are there any warning signs or symptoms that indicate I need immediate attention? How can I distinguish between minor discomfort and a serious dental problem?

True emergencies: severe pain, knocked-out tooth, significant trauma, swelling. Persistent pain, bleeding, or swelling need prompt attention. Minor chips or sensitivity can often wait. We'll assess urgency and advise accordingly.

How do you manage pain in dental emergencies, especially if I can't be seen immediately? Are there any over-the-counter pain relief methods you recommend? What should I avoid doing if I'm experiencing severe dental pain while waiting for my emergency appointment?

We may prescribe pain relief. OTC options: ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Apply cold compress for swelling and rinse with warm salt water. Avoid extremes in temperature; don't place aspirin directly on gums. Call for specific advice based on your situation.

What types of emergency procedures can be performed in your office, and are there situations where you might need to refer me to a specialist or hospital? How do you determine whether a dental emergency requires immediate treatment or can be temporarily managed?

We handle most emergencies: extractions, temporary crowns, and abscess drainage. We assess each case, considering pain level, infection risk, and overall health. Immediate treatment is prioritized for severe pain, swelling, or trauma.

How does insurance coverage work for dental emergencies, especially for after-hours care? Are there typically additional costs associated with emergency dental visits? If I don't have insurance, what payment options are available for unexpected dental emergencies?

Many insurances cover emergencies. We file insurance claims promptly. For uninsured, we offer payment plans and accept major credit cards. Cost varies by treatment needed. We provide upfront cost estimates before proceeding.
