Dental Emergency Assessment

Dental Emergency Assessment:

Please note that this questionnaire is designed as a pre-screening tool only and does not replace a professional dental examination. The information gathered here will help the dentist assess the potential emergency and prepare accordingly. However, a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan can only be determined after a thorough examination by a qualified dental professional.

The average procedure time for treating a dental emergency can vary widely depending on the severity of the emergency.

  • Minor emergencies, such as a small chip in a tooth or a temporary crown that has fallen off, may only take a few minutes to treat.
  • More serious emergencies, such as a knocked-out tooth or a severe toothache, may require more extensive treatment and could take several hours.

Upon arrival at our clinic, our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination and provide a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What are effective home remedies for toothaches? How can cracked or fractured teeth be treated? Are there any preventive measures for dental abscesses?

A

Home Remedies for Toothaches:

  • Over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can provide temporary relief for toothache pain. Follow dosage instructions.
  • Rinsing the mouth with warm salt water can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water.
  • Applying a cold compress to the outside of the cheek near the affected tooth can help numb the pain.
  • Using a numbing gel or paste containing ingredients like benzocaine directly on the painful area can provide localized relief.
  • Placing a small piece of clove, which has natural pain-relieving properties, directly on the affected tooth.
  • Avoiding chewing on the painful side and sticking to soft, cool foods.
These home remedies can offer short-term relief, but they are not a substitute for professional dental treatment. Severe or persistent toothaches require evaluation and care from a dentist.

Q

What is considered a dental emergency ?

A

An emergency can be anything from an infection and abscessed tooth to a knocked out or loose tooth, and includes broken teeth and emergency root canal procedures. Any tooth or dental need that includes worsening or intense pain, either aching or throbbing pain, bleeding, any puss or drainage from an injury or sore in the mouth, all are considered a dental emergency and should be treated as soon as possible.

Is emergency dental covered by insurance ?

A

Yes, emergency dental care is covered by dental insurance plans and many allow for direct billing to the insurance company for emergency care and procedures. Dentists may follow a guide on average costs of procedures but fees are set by the dental clinic itself and may vary between dental clinics, while insurance companies may offer coverage based upon the fees of the dental clinic itself or based on the average cost it expects procedures to cost. This may leave some amounts owing that are not paid in full by an insurance company and may fall upon the patient to pay themselves.

Can urgent care remove a tooth?

A

Yes, if required an urgent care dentist is able to remove a tooth for the health of the patient. This is done as any regular tooth extraction would be, under local anesthesia to numb the pain of the removal and normal healing procedures are followed. A tooth removal is a regular procedure offered by dentists as required

How much is emergency dental services ?

A

Dental procedures are billed based upon the procedure, and emergency services are as well. Most procedures are the same cost for emergency situations as they are for regular care, while others may be increased due to the emergency situation and the need for last minute scheduling. The range of fees can be a few hundred dollars for a tooth extraction or fillings, or may be $2500 or more for root canal and other more detailed and time intense procedures. While insurance companies cover emergency dental procedures they may not cover the full cost and the patient is responsible for the difference between the cost of the procedure and the amount covered by the dental insurance company.

What if I can’t get an emergency dental appointment ?

A

A walk in dentist may be able to accommodate any needs when an appointment is unavailable, and hospitals are able to treat some emergencies such as missing teeth and infections. There is often a dentist on call at a hospital in any larger cities and many smaller ones as well. Occasionally it is necessary to call more then one emergency dental clinic to obtain an appointment or service if there is a high demand for emergency dentists at that time.
