FAQs

What is Emergency Dentistry?

Despite maintaining excellent oral hygiene, unforeseen dental issues can arise. In such situations, it’s comforting to know you have a reliable dentist to turn to. Emergency dentistry involves addressing unanticipated dental problems that demand immediate care, often stemming from injuries to teeth or gums.

Typical reasons for seeking emergency dental care include broken or chipped teeth, or teeth that have been dislodged, also known as dental avulsions. These incidents can result from consuming hard foods or sports-related injuries, like a baseball to the face. The professionals at SEDA Dental possess a wealth of expertise in managing various dental injuries, effectively alleviating patients’ pain, and preventing further complications.

Who Is a Candidate for Emergency Dentistry?

Most individuals will require emergency dental care at some point in their lives. It can often be challenging to figure out if a situation needs immediate attention or can wait. Experiencing dental pain or losing a tooth are valid reasons to seek emergency care.

If you need more clarification about the urgency of your dental issue, it’s advisable to consult the professionals at SEDA Dental. They can assess your needs accurately. Even minor injuries can lead to more significant problems in the future, making it preferable to err on the side of caution. The team at SEDA Dental will be able to guide you through the situation, making sure you get the necessary attention promptly.

How quickly should I seek emergency dental care?

In most cases, it’s best to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. Prompt treatment can prevent complications and improve the chances of successful treatment. For example, a knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if it is reinserted within an hour of the incident.

What should I do to manage pain or discomfort before reaching the dentist?

You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to alleviate pain temporarily. Rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater can also help reduce inflammation and discomfort. Applying a cold compress to the affected area may help with swelling and pain relief. However, it’s essential to consult with a dentist as soon as possible to address the root cause of the problem.

Will my dental insurance cover emergency dental treatments?

Dental insurance policies typically cover emergency dental treatments. However, the extent of coverage and any associated co-payments or deductibles may vary depending on your specific plan.
