Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
You might be tempted to put off seeking emergency dental care out of worry about the cost, but waiting might actually end up costing you more later on. Since teeth can’t heal themselves, your emergency will only get worse and may end up requiring more expensive procedures. Once our dentists have evaluated your situation, we can discuss the fees associated with your treatment as well as your financial options, including dental insurance and third-party financing.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
The unpredictable nature of dental emergencies makes it impossible to avoid them 100% of the time, but you can drastically reduce your risk by taking a few easy precautions:
- Brush and floss every day to keep your teeth resistant to decay, infection, and breakage.
- Visit Parkview Dental twice a year for checkups so that we can catch potential emergencies early on.
- Always wear a mouthguard when you play sports.
- Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packaging or chew on ice, pencils, your fingernails, or other hard inedible objects.
