Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies differ from each other and have varying treatment prices. How much your own costs will depend on your situation, so you should see Dr. Tehrani for an exact estimate. Our dental team will then work to make your care more affordable and budget-friendly. In particular, we’ll guide you through details on cost factors, dental insurance, and flexible financing. The result should be a treatment that helps your smile and doesn’t “break the bank.”
How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
Not every dental emergency can be avoided, but you can make having one less likely. Just remember to:
- Get Good Oral Care – You should always brush your teeth twice daily and floss between them once daily. These habits (along with dental visits) will prevent severe oral problems.
- Wear a Mouthguard – When you play sports, wear a mouthguard that protects your smile from collisions. You should also wear a nightguard if you struggle with teeth grinding.
- Quit Bad Oral Habits – You shouldn’t chew on hard objects much. Things like ice, popcorn kernels, and pens would have a chance to chip or crack your tooth.
- Don’t Use Teeth as Tools – Rather than open packages with teeth, use the appropriate tools.
Dental Emergency FAQs
What Does Throbbing Tooth Pain Mean?
Throbbing tooth pain is likely a sign of infection within the tooth. This can occur when a crack or cavities in the tooth allow air and bacteria to reach the sensitive inner area within the tooth where the pulp lies. This results in carious irritation and potentially infection of pulp nerve, causing pain. In other cases, throbbing teeth could be due to chronic teeth grinding and clenching, usually during sleep.
How Long Can a Tooth Last After It Has Been Knocked Out of Your Mouth?
Your tooth will start to die roughly 15 minutes after it has been knocked out of the socket. You should try to see an emergency dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it. You can best temporarily preserve the tooth by putting it back into its socket, storing it in the space between your gums and the inside of your cheek or putting it in a container of milk, saline solution, or saliva. Head directly to the dental office for your best chance.
Should I Visit the Emergency Room First for Dental Emergencies?
Most emergency rooms aren’t able to address dental emergencies effectively. However, there are three main exceptions where an emergency room visit is a better option. You should head directly to the emergency room if you think that your jaw has been fractured or dislocated, you have a serious cut or laceration to your mouth/face, or you have an abscess or infection that is swollen to the point of affecting your ability to breath or swallow. For pretty much any other circumstance, you should see an emergency dentist first. We provide same-day appointments for patients who are experiencing dental emergencies.
Will a Toothache Go Away on Its Own?
No, toothaches don’t typically go away on their own. For this reason, it is best to schedule a checkup with a dentist just to ensure that nothing serious is going on. There are various causes of toothaches, so you want to rule them out with a dental professional. By seeing your dentist now, you may be able to detect the underlying issue before it becomes more serious. If the pain is associated with irritation of the gums surrounding your tooth, this can sometimes subside on its own. Ultimately, it is a good idea to see your dentist to be safe.
