The Most Common Dental Emergencies
To help you determine whether your situation warrants a trip to the emergency dentist, we’ve included some of the most common issues that patients call us about below.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry
Many patients who struggle with dental-related anxiety aren’t just worried about the treatment they need, but how much it will cost. Our team at Bragg Dental never wants that to be the case, which is why we provide custom and compassionate care as well as transparent pricing. We also offer several payment options to make the price of emergency dentistry more affordable, which we will discuss more in this next section. As always, if you have any questions regarding your care, you can reach out to us – we want to help!
The Reason Every Dental Emergency is Different
Patients often assume that there is a flat fee for emergency dentistry, so finding information about the price online should be easy. The reality is that there are several factors that impact the answer, including the type of dental injury (like a cavity vs. a knocked-out tooth). That’s why the initial appointment is so important. In addition to taking X-rays, conducting an oral exam, and learning all about your symptoms, we review your treatment options, share our recommendations, and create your custom treatment plan.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
Many dental insurance providers cover a portion of the cost of emergency dentistry – whether it’s the initial exam or 50% of the restorative care needed. Since dental plans vary from patient to patient, it’s important to read through the fine print on yours and, if you need any help, ask! We’d be happy to take a look at your coverage, provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses, and answer any questions you have. That way, the process of using your benefits is seamless instead of stressful.
Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable
If you don’t have dental insurance because you’re self-employed or your employer doesn’t offer it, you’ll be happy to hear that you can make emergency dentistry more affordable by signing up for CareCredit! This trusted third-party financier offers payment plans so you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of the necessary care in one lump sum. Instead, you can choose the option that works best for you and space out the price into smaller, more budget-friendly chunks.
How Taking Care Of Your Smile Can Save You Money
Remember, many common dental emergencies – from painful toothaches to damaged restorations – are largely preventable. So, if you want to save your wallet from harm (and your smile, of course), you need to commit to good habits, like wearing a mouthguard during sports, brushing and flossing consistently, and eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. It’s also of the utmost importance that you visit our Cumming dental office every six months for a dental checkup and teeth cleaning. Of course, if you start to experience warning signs of trouble sooner, like pain when biting down, then you should schedule an appointment with Dr. Bragg or Dr. McTier sooner.
