Emergency Dental Treatments
No one knows when a dental emergency will arise, so knowing how to identify them is crucial. The main goal of emergency dental treatments is to solve an initial problem and prepare the tooth for additional treatment later on.
When a tooth is causing you pain, or has been knocked out or loosened, it’s a clear sign of a dental emergency. These situations may call for antibiotics, a root canal, or even just a filling, but delaying treatment will only prolong the discomfort and could lead to further complications. Immediate treatment at Maxilla Dental will bring you relief and prevent any further issues.
Infections and abscesses that aren’t treated promptly can spread to the rest of the mouth. An infected tooth or one with a deep cavity may require antibiotics and possibly drainage prior to a follow-up to fill the cavity or remove a root canal. Even a broken tooth or a necessary root canal can escalate into an infection if left untreated. At Maxilla Dental, we are fully equipped to handle all your emergency dental needs, ensuring your health and the preservation of your natural teeth. Our comprehensive services provide you with the security of knowing that we can address any emergency situation.
Additional emergency services can include repair of a broken denture, replacing a lost filling, or repairing a chipped tooth.
Same-Day Emergency Dentistry
When untreated, dental emergencies are likely to worsen. Same day treatments are important for saving the tooth, limiting the chances of worsening, and managing the pain associated with the emergency the day it occurs.
Same day treatment is important as dental emergencies can lead to infections. Untreated infections can spread not only to other areas of the mouth, but also to the face and even into the blood stream. A loosened tooth can become a lost tooth if same day treatment is not sought, and a cavity can end up as a root canal if it is not addressed quickly. Broken teeth can be damaged to the point of removal if it is not treated promptly.

They include missing filling that doesn’t affect the root, a chip in the tooth that doesn’t affect the bite or root without proving pain, a cavity that needs filling.

When a dental emergency arises, it is important to contact an emergency dental clinic immediately and seek treatment as soon as possible. If a tooth is knocked out, place it in a container with white milk and take it to the dentist directly to see if it can be replaced. A tea bag or cloth may be used to apply gentle pressure to slow any bleeding as needed. Provide all necessary information to the dentist, and they will decide on the correct procedure for your dental emergency.
When an emergency dentist can not be located, some hospitals have an emergency dentist on call for all walk-in emergencies, or an urgent care dentist may be available to address your immediate concerns.
An emergency can be anything from an infection and abscessed tooth to a knocked out or loose tooth, and includes broken teeth and emergency root canal procedures. Any tooth or dental need that includes worsening or intense pain, either aching or throbbing pain, bleeding, any puss or drainage from an injury or sore in the mouth, all are considered a dental emergency and should be treated as soon as possible.
Yes, emergency dental care is covered by dental insurance plans and many allow for direct billing to the insurance company for emergency care and procedures. Dentists may follow a guide on average costs of procedures but fees are set by the dental clinic itself and may vary between dental clinics, while insurance companies may offer coverage based upon the fees of the dental clinic itself or based on the average cost it expects procedures to cost. This may leave some amounts owing that are not paid in full by an insurance company and may fall upon the patient to pay themselves.
Yes, if required an urgent care dentist is able to remove a tooth for the health of the patient. This is done as any regular tooth extraction would be, under local anesthesia to numb the pain of the removal and normal healing procedures are followed. A tooth removal is a regular procedure offered by dentists as required
Dental procedures are billed based upon the procedure, and emergency services are as well. Most procedures are the same cost for emergency situations as they are for regular care, while others may be increased due to the emergency situation and the need for last minute scheduling. The range of fees can be a few hundred dollars for a tooth extraction or fillings, or may be $2500 or more for root canal and other more detailed and time intense procedures.
While insurance companies cover emergency dental procedures they may not cover the full cost and the patient is responsible for the difference between the cost of the procedure and the amount covered by the dental insurance company.
A walk in dentist may be able to accommodate any needs when an appointment is unavailable, and hospitals are able to treat some emergencies such as missing teeth and infections. There is often a dentist on call at a hospital in any larger cities and many smaller ones as well. Occasionally it is necessary to call more then one emergency dental clinic to obtain an appointment or service if there is a high demand for emergency dentists at that time.
Call our emergency dental clinic for your same-day appointment. A walk-in dentist may also be available. Arrive prepared with all the necessary details, and you will be seen as soon as possible.
