Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies
You will probably be too distracted to worry about the cost of emergency care when you first call our dental office, but when the time comes to pick a treatment, you might have concerns. Rest assured that we will always be transparent with the costs involved with your emergency care as well as why certain treatments are necessary. Our team is more than happy to help you explore ways to reduce or better manage your out-of-pocket costs.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
Many dental emergencies can be avoided simply by taking proper care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing can greatly lower your risk for toothaches and severe decay. You can also protect your smile from damage by wearing mouthguards while playing sports or dropping tooth-damaging habits such as nail-biting. And of course, you also want to schedule a consultation at our dental office every six months so that we can help you catch smaller dental issues before they become emergencies.
Root Canal Therapy
When a tooth is badly infected, root canal therapy is often the only way to treat it without resorting to extraction. While you might have some anxieties about the treatment, it’s nowhere near as frightening as many people believe it to be. Many patients describe it as being no more uncomfortable than getting a filling; indeed, after the procedure, you will actually find relief from pain because the source of the infection has been removed.

Tooth Extractions
Removing a tooth is never our first choice, but we may recommend it if you have a tooth that’s so badly damaged that it can’t be repaired. It may also be necessary if there’s an infection that can’t be treated with root canal therapy. When we remove a tooth, your comfort will be our top priority. Afterward, we can go over your options for filling in the space in your smile, such as a dental bridge or a single dental implant topped with a crown.
