Emergency Dentist FAQs
Can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Emergency rooms can manage infections or severe bleeding, but they cannot provide definitive dental treatments. It is best to see an emergency dentist whenever possible.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that is not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to our office immediately.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental services?
Coverage varies, but many plans provide benefits for emergency dental care. Our team will work with you to understand your options.
Is a broken filling or crown a dental emergency?
Yes. Even though it may not seem urgent, a broken restoration can expose your tooth to damage and infection, requiring quick attention.
How can I prevent dental emergencies?
Routine dental exams and cleanings help detect issues early, and wearing a mouthguard during sports reduces the risk of injury.
