How We Treat Dental Emergencies
You’ll first need to call our office to let us know that you need help. Based on the type of injury you’ve incurred, we’ll find a time to have you come in to meet with Dr. Diep. We’ll also go over a few helpful tips to make caring for your smile at home more manageable.
Once you arrive at our dental office, we’ll take diagnostic images of your mouth and perform a visual examination to determine where the injury exists and the kind of damage that has occurred. Once we formulate a treatment plan, we’ll go over it with you so that you have the opportunity to inquire further or agree to begin receiving care. As soon as you give the go-ahead, we’ll begin treating the problem area so that you no longer feel any pain but instead walk away with a damage-free smile.
The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. From minor to major, nearly all can be treated by our team at SoHay Dental. Only cases of broken or fractured jaws, continuous bleeding, and increased swelling should be seen by a medical professional at the local ER. Otherwise, you’re welcome to review the following details to learn more about the types of injuries we treat in our Hayward dental office.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
No two dental emergencies can be priced the same. The reason is that your knocked-out tooth may require replacement, while another individual may be able to go with a splint to hold the original tooth in place. Each case is different, so only once Dr. Diep has the chance to examine your dental injury will we be able to construct a formal estimate for your treatment. When ready, we’ll go over our financial policy and help to maximize your benefits so that you pay less while still receiving top-quality care from our team.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
If you want to prevent a visit to your emergency dentist’s office, you’ll need to make sure that you’re doing all you can to minimize your risk of a dental injury. This can include ensuring that your oral hygiene habits are practiced each morning and night, keeping up with your six-month dental checkups and cleanings, giving up bad habits that are dangerous to your oral health (i.e., smoking, biting your fingernails, eating ice, etc.), wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth while sleeping and/or playing sports, and eating a healthy diet.
