Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dentistry

After we’ve had a chance to look at your mouth and figured out the root cause of your dental emergency, we can give you an estimate of how much it will cost to treat the problem. The exact price will differ since not every dental emergency is the same and some will require more complex treatments than others. However, we are happy to offer a flat fee of $49 for a basic emergency exam with X-rays. Additionally, your dental insurance is likely to pay for a certain percentage of the cost depending on the treatment you need. Read on as we break down everything you need to know about the cost of dental emergencies in McKinney.

Dental Emergency FAQ’s

When you’re facing a dental emergency, many questions can rush into your mind all at once. What should you do? Who can get your smile back to full health? Can the tooth be saved? Although we can’t answer all your questions here, we can provide some helpful information so that you don’t have to second guess yourself later on when it matters most.

In the vast majority of cases, calling and going to Marble Dental McKinney for treating a dental emergency is the way to go. After all, Dr. Hegazin is an expert in handling oral problems. However, if the situation involves any of the following, your first visit should be to the emergency room:

  • Oral bleeding that lasts longer than 10 minutes.
  • Broken or dislocated jawbone.
  • Severe facial trauma.

Once these problems are resolved, then our practice can address your dental emergency. If you’re not sure where to turn for help, give our office a call! We can give you specific guidance for the best possible outcome.

Dental emergencies can be stressful and nerve-wracking for everyone involved. We can help you or your loved one feel comfortable throughout the entire process through sedation methods. At Marble Dental McKinney, we use nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to ease our patients’ fears. These safe techniques can help you relax and focus on recovering from your dental emergency while we take care of the rest.

You should keep our office’s contact information handy at all times, but in the meantime, you should make sure that you have the right tools on hand in case you need to perform first aid. An emergency kit should include:

  • A small container with a lid (for holding loose teeth or lost crowns)
  • Over-the-counter painkillers such as acetaminophen (but not aspirin or ibuprofen since they could thin the blood and can cause excessive bleeding)
  • Disposable gloves (for safety and hygiene)
  • Medical gauze (to control any bleeding)
  • Floss (for toothaches caused by something caught between the teeth)

Feel free to ask for more ideas of what to include in your own kit!

Toothaches are often the result of dental damage, which won’t heal without professional care. That’s why it’s crucial not to take the “wait and see” approach. Remember, the more time that passes, the more time the root of the problem has to progress.

Important note: There may come a time when the pain and discomfort stemming from your tooth subsides. Initially, this may seem like good news. However, it’s more likely the result of your nerve dying, rendering it unable to register pain. This is a warning sign that there is only a small window of time left where your tooth can still be saved, so don’t wait! Call our Mckinney dental office ASAP to schedule an emergency exam.

Unfortunately, your teeth are not able to regenerate. So, the only way to restore the missing structure is to visit your dentist. At our McKinney dental office, we offer several solutions, including direct bonding, Lumineers, and veneers. Once we have the chance to conduct an oral exam, assess the severity of the chip, and learn about your smile goals, we can share which treatment we recommend.

If you don’t have milk readily available, you might be wondering if you can submerge your tooth in water instead. Unfortunately, the answer is “no” because it doesn’t preserve the root surface cells the same way. So, don’t use water for anything more than gently rinsing the tooth to remove debris.

Although superglue is a powerful adhesive that most people already have at home (which makes it seem like a good solution), it contains toxins that are not safe to ingest. The best thing to do if you find yourself in this situation is to call us so we can learn more about what’s going on, including how severe the damage is. Then, we can get the ball rolling on having your denture repaired or replaced.

We never want concerns about the cost to be what stops you from getting the emergency dental care you need. That’s why we offer several financial solutions at our office – from dental insurance to our in-office membership plan. We’re able to work with patients with all sorts of budgets, so don’t hesitate to let us know if you’re interested in learning more about the cost of your care and the ways we can help you make it more affordable.

Important reminder: Most dental problems – from cavities to gum disease – only get worse if left untreated. So, don’t put off scheduling an appointment in an attempt to save money because it will have the opposite effect. The best thing for your smile and your wallet is to give us a call when you first notice that something is wrong so we can quickly pinpoint the root of the problem as well as the best way to address it.
