Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation or condition that is causing you pain or preventing you from going about your normal, everyday activities.  For example, if you have a severe toothache or a chipped front tooth, you likely need to see an emergency dentist right away.  Numerous dental emergencies need to be treated within the first few hours, but some can be eased with medication and treated at your earliest convenience.  If you’re not sure what to do, then we strongly suggest that you contact a dental clinic that can discuss your situation with you personally. 

Why is it important to see a dentist immediately?

If you are experiencing an intense level of discomfort in your mouth, it is telling you that there is something wrong and that it requires attention.  Furthermore, any serious event to your teeth may need to be fixed and/or it can develop into an oral infection.  At EmergencyDental247.com, we have dental offices that can treat your dental emergency quickly, putting your problem at ease.  Your dentist will work efficiently and professionally to repair your tooth or get rid of mouth pain. 

What do I do for a dislodged tooth?

If you are suffering from a dislodged or knocked out tooth, you want to locate the tooth an ensure that you keep it in a safe location.  If your mouth is bleeding, moisten some gauge and gently bite down to put pressure on the bloody gum(s).  Also make sure to contact a dental professional who can advise you on next steps on getting the tooth repaired as quickly as possible. 

How much does it cost to go to to the dentist without insurance?

When you don’t have dental insurance, it can be challenging to estimate the cost of your treatment ahead of time. And since each situation is handled differently, it’s not always possible to give a firm diagnosis or price quote over the phone. However, you can get an estimate on the cost of an exam and X-ray, so that our 24-hour dentist can evaluate your situation and then propose an appropriate care plan.

Your care plan will itemize recommended treatment(s) and all of the costs involved, including how many appointments are necessary. That way you’re not caught off guard by the price of emergency dental treatment, even if you don’t have insurance.

It’s our goal to discuss the different types of treatment that are available for your situation. That way you can play a key role in deciding which step comes next, well before committing to any particular type of procedure. The better informed you are about your care, the more confident you can be about investing in the treatment that’s best for your smile.

Should I go to a hospital Emergency Room or visit a dentist for  a dental emergency?

If you encounter a dental emergency, you may decide to go to a hospital emergency room (ER) to receive care. While an ER would be a good place to visit, they often don't have dental tools or have full knowledge of certain dental procedures.  Typically, a medical doctor will prescribe pain relief, while a dentist will able to better review your dental situation and correct it based on their dental training. 

How can I avoid seeing an emergency dentist?

There are a number of simple precautions you can take to avoid accident and injury to the teeth:

• Wear a mouth guard when participating in sports or recreational activities.
• Avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels and hard candy, all of which can crack a tooth.
• Use scissors, NEVER your teeth, to cut things.

What can you do if  your mouth is injured?

Injuries inside the mouth include tears or cuts, puncture wounds, and lacerations to the cheek, lips, or tongue. The wound should be cleaned immediately with warm water, and the injured person should be taken directly to an oral surgeon for emergency care. If you can’t get to an oral surgeon, the patient should be taken to the hospital. Bleeding from a tongue laceration can be reduced by pulling the tongue forward and using gauze to place pressure on the wound.

What happens when you break a crown or filling?

If you’ve had a crown or a filling break, which resulted in it falling out, you need to get on this dental emergency straight away. After you’ve called us to book an appoint with an emergency dentist for you, you need to plug up the hole. Dental cement is the best way to keep the hole covered while you wait for your emergency appointment, but you can also use a small piece of gauze and even a bit of cotton ball. Whatever you use to do it, make sure the hole is always covered. If your busted and/or lost crown or filling is left open, you’re risking total destruction of that tooth, which will result in the emergency dentist choosing to pull it out instead of filling it back up. Unfortunately, if a crown or a filling falls out, it becomes a time-sensitive issue, and not plugging the hole in time causes irreversible damage.
