The Most Common Dental Emergencies
There are two main categories of dental emergencies: infections that often result from poor oral care and injuries that can occur at any time. Recognizing a potential dental emergency is a critical first step for protecting your smile, so call us immediately if you experience any of the situations listed below.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry
Since no two situations are exactly the same, the only way to know how much emergency dental care will cost is to visit our office. After completing a comprehensive oral exam, we will create a treatment plan, provide you with an estimate of the price, and discuss the financial solutions available. If you are interested in learning more on the topic of cost in the meantime, you can read on, too!
Every Dental Emergency is Different – Here’s Why
As we mentioned above, some dental emergencies are costlier to deal with than others. Before we can provide you with an estimate of the cost of your care, we need to consider several factors, including the nature of your emergency and the treatments that you need. Rest assured, we will provide you with an estimate of the price before moving forward. We will also review the different financial solutions available, including dental insurance, to prevent you from stressing about the cost.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
Good news: many dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost of emergency dentistry in Danville. So, if you are insured, read through the fine print on your plan. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to let us know. Since we are in-network with multiple dental insurance companies, understanding and utilizing your benefits is easier than ever. We can even handle the paperwork for you!
Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable
If you don’t have dental insurance at the moment, don’t worry – that’s just one of the financial solutions available at our office. CareCredit is another great option, particularly for patients who would prefer not to pay for the entire cost of their care in one lump sum. With their payment plans, you can break up the price into smaller, more manageable chunks that fit comfortably within your monthly budget (and there is often little-to-no interest attached!).
How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money
It’s important to remember that tooth decay, gum disease, knocked-out teeth, and several other dental problems are largely preventable with the right best practices in place. In other words, healthy habits can save your smile and your wallet from harm! So, if you haven’t already, incorporate healthy habits into your routine, like brushing twice a day and wearing a mouthguard during sports.
It’s also important that we mention here that dental problems only get worse if ignored. That’s why it’s so important to schedule an appointment with us when you first realize that something is wrong. The sooner you come to our office, the sooner we can determine what the root of the problem is and how to treat it.
