How We Treat Dental Emergencies

You may be suffering your first dental emergency. In that case, don’t worry; we at Sunrise Dental Service will walk you through treatment. In particular, expect these four things from an emergency dental visit:

• A Same-Day Appointment – Once you call us, our dental team will book you for the earliest visit possible. You may even see us the very same day! Either way, our staff can also provide first aid-tips over the phone while you wait.
• An Emergency Exam – When you first arrive for your visit, you’ll undergo an oral exam. This measure lets us learn the source of your condition. It also helps us see how to relieve your pain.
• A Review of Findings – Dr. Makadia will review his findings with you after the exam. At that time, he’ll suggest suitable procedures for you. Our office will then use your feedback to draft a custom treatment plan. To be clear, we’ll explain the estimated cost and time before you commit.
• Crucial Dental Care – After prepping your treatment plan, we’ll address your dental issue(s) quickly. You can trust our dental team’s skill and experience. Whether you need crowns, fillings, root canals, or anything else, your smile will be healed in no time.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

After all, we have the expertise and resources to treat these standard dental dilemmas. You don’t need to endure them all on your own. So, make sure to contact us if you’re dealing with any of the following:

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

While dental emergencies aren’t always avoidable, you can do things to make them less likely. Try using these preventive measures to protect your teeth and gums from damage:

• Eat Healthy – Eat mouth-healthy foods filled with nutrients instead of sugary stuff.
• Avoid Bad Oral Habits – Don’t chew hard objects that could break your teeth.
• Use a Mouthguard – Wear a mouthguard for sports or a nightguard at night (if you grind your teeth).
• Care for Your Smile – Protect your teeth and gums with regular brushing and flossing. Similarly, see your dentist often for checkups and cleanings.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies 

Time is of the essence in a dental emergency, but so are funds. You can’t fix your urgent oral issue if you can’t afford care. Still, the cost of dental emergencies varies by patient. You’ll need to consult Dr. Makadia for a precise estimate. Once he explains the relevant pricing factors, our dental team will work to make your treatment affordable. That means we’ll outline your care choices, financing options, and more.
