No one likes going to the dentist. It's not just the thought of sitting in the chair and getting prodded by metal instruments. There's also the fear of finding out that something is wrong. And then there's the cost. Going to the dentist can be expensive, especially if you have to have a procedure done.


But what happens if you have a dental emergency? Maybe you've chipped a tooth or you're in pain and you need to see a dentist right away. That's where emergency dental services come in.


Emergency dental services are usually open during regular business hours, but some clinics offer after-hours service as well. When choosing an emergency dental service, it's important to find one that is convenient for you and that accepts your insurance.


If you are experiencing a dental emergency, don't wait! Call Smile at Life Dentistry right away. We offer same-day appointments, and accept most insurance plans. We'll do everything we can to get you out of pain and on the road to recovery.

FAQs

  • What constitutes an emergency dental situation?

    An emergency dental situation is generally considered to be a condition that requires immediate treatment in order to prevent long-term damage or even loss of the tooth. Some common emergency dental situations include:


    • Severe toothache

    • A broken or knocked-out tooth

    • Swelling/infection in the gums or around the teeth

    • Bleeding gums

  • What should I do if I am experiencing a dental emergency?

    First, rinse your mouth with warm water to remove any debris. If you can find the source of the bleeding, hold a clean cloth against the injury to help staunch the flow. If there is swelling, apply a cold compress. Finally, call us immediately.

  • How do I determine if I need emergency dental care?

    The best way to determine if you need emergency dental care is to look for these three indicators: severe pain, swelling, and bleeding.


    If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, seek dental care immediately. Dental problems can quickly become more serious and lead to infection or other health complications if left untreated.
