The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Many people make the mistake of waiting too long to seek professional care because they’re not sure whether the issue rises to the level of a dental emergency. The unfortunate fact is that teeth lack the means to heal themselves if they become damaged or decayed, so more often than not ignoring the problem will only lead to a more serious issue. Call our team immediately if you have any doubts about your oral health; we’ll help you figure out what steps need to be taken next. Below are some examples of common emergency situations that warrant a call to our Westfield office.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Some dental emergencies can be handled with a simple filling while others might require a more advanced procedure such as root canal therapy. The overall cost of your care will vary depending on your needs, but we’ll always make sure that you have an idea of what you can expect to pay before beginning any kind of treatment. Also, we accept a wide variety of dental insurance plans, and we offer flexible financing options to help you break up the cost of your care.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
While it’s impossible to predict and avoid every dental emergency, you’ll be less likely to suffer from urgent dental problems if you:
- Brush and floss at least two times every day.
- Visit our office every six months for routine checkups and cleanings.
- Wear a mouthguard while playing sports.
- Avoid bad habits like chewing your fingernails.
- Eat a healthy diet that’s low in sugary and starchy foods.
- Open packages with scissors or another tool instead of your teeth.
