How We Treat Dental Emergencies
Treating a dental emergency requires that you first call our dental office. This initial step allows us to evaluate the severity of the issue and schedule a time for you to come in. While you wait, we will make sure you have first-aid tips to use at home to manage any pain.
Once you arrive at our office, we will escort you to a treatment room and begin working to alleviate any pain. We’ll take digital images of your smile and identify the injured area before determining its severity. This will give our team what we need to formulate a plan that we will go over with you.
If you agree with the proposed solution, we will either administer treatment on the same day or have you return for another appointment if more complex and timely care is required.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
A broken jawbone, increased swelling, and continuous bleeding are all instances that require a trip to the local emergency room. However, all other dental emergencies can be easily treated in-house with the help of Dr. Schnackenberg and our talented team. View the icons below to discover some of the most common ones we see.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry
Whether you’re seeking treatment for a painful toothache or a completely knocked-out tooth, you likely want to know more about the cost first. Rest assured, our Orlando dental team will provide you with an estimate after reviewing all of your treatment options. If you want to learn more on the topic in the meantime, including the financial solutions we welcome, read on!
Why Every Dental Emergency is Different
The reason we can’t provide you with an estimate of the cost online is that there are several factors that need to be considered, including the type of dental injury and the extent of the damage. Once we have an understanding of your dental needs and we’ve reviewed your treatment options, we will create your custom treatment plan and explain the cost. We will also review the financial solutions available to ensure you can focus on getting the care you need instead of stressing about the cost.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
In addition to covering essential preventive care, many dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost of restorative treatments as well as one emergency exam per year. So, if you are insured, don’t hesitate to review the fine print on your plan. Remember to look for any red tape that can affect your coverage, like waiting periods and annual maximums. If you have any trouble understanding your benefits, don’t hesitate to call the helpline on your paperwork. You can also bring any questions you have to our team!
Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable
Don’t have dental insurance? That’s okay – our patients can also use flexible financing. With trusted third-party financiers, like Cherry and CareCredit, you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of your treatment in one lump sum. Instead, you can break up the cost into smaller, more budget-friendly chunks. If you are interested in learning more about this financial solution, let us know! We’d be happy to answer any questions you have and show you where to sign up.
How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money
Patients often forget that many dental injuries are preventable, including knocked-out teeth. The key is proper care and maintenance. In addition to brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently, you need to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, wear a nightguard if you grind/clench your teeth, and break bad habits, like smoking. It’s also of the utmost importance that you reach out to our emergency dentist in Orlando when you first realize that something is wrong – whether it’s bleeding gums or considerable sensitivity. That way, we can diagnose and treat the root of the problem right away.
