Frequently
Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation that requires immediate attention to alleviate severe pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include severe toothache, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and injuries causing cuts or lacerations in the mouth.
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
Time is of the essence with a knocked-out tooth. Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing the roots and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately. The sooner you get to our office, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
Can a chipped tooth be considered an emergency?
Yes, a chipped tooth can qualify as an emergency, especially if there's significant pain, the damage is extensive, or there's a risk of the tooth becoming further damaged. Even a minor chip should be examined to prevent potential complications.
How can I manage pain before reaching the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort, but be sure not to place aspirin directly on your gums as this can cause tissue damage. Applying a cold compress to the face near the affected area can also reduce swelling and pain.
Will I be seen immediately if I have a dental emergency?
At Padre Island Dentistry, we prioritize dental emergencies and strive to see you as soon as possible. Our $59 emergency exam ensures you receive prompt attention and a comprehensive evaluation to address your urgent needs.
What are my options if I’m experiencing a dental abscess?
Dental abscesses require immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading. We offer abscess treatment that includes draining the infection, antibiotics, and potentially a root canal or extraction if necessary. Contact us right away if you suspect an abscess.
What if my emergency occurs outside of normal business hours?
We understand that emergencies don’t always happen during regular hours. If you're experiencing a dental emergency outside of our business hours, please call our office for instructions on how to proceed. We'll provide guidance on managing your situation and arrange for you to be seen as quickly as possible.
How much will emergency dental care cost?
We aim to make emergency dental care affordable with our $59 emergency exam and flexible financing options. The cost of additional treatment varies depending on the nature of the emergency and the required procedures. We'll discuss all costs and financing options with you to ensure you receive the care you need without financial stress.
Are there ways to prevent dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, maintaining good oral hygiene, wearing a mouthguard during sports, and avoiding hard foods that can crack teeth can significantly reduce your risk. Regular dental check-ups also help identify and address potential issues before they become emergencies.
How can I schedule an emergency dental appointment?
