Emergency dentistry offers services that identify the issue and reduce pain until you can see your regular dentist. It can also treat immediate problems, depending on the severity and the situation.
Typically, an emergency dental appointment will include an exam and an X-ray. The dentist will perform some triage procedures as required, like stitching up a gum, before sending you home. They will prescribe antibiotics and painkillers as needed for infection or injury.
Insurance will often cover the costs of emergency dentistry because the problem results in a medical issue that requires immediate treatment. All insurance policies are different so review yours to see exactly what is covered. We can help you identify dental coverage and show you any out-of-pocket costs.
