What are some examples of common dental emergencies?

Situations that require prompt emergency assistance from a Farmington emergency dentist include:

  • Unbearable Dental Pain
  • Uncontrollable Dental Bleeding
  • Lost Crown or Other Restoration
  • Cracked or Broken Tooth
  • Knocked-Out Tooth
  • Dental Abscess (Tooth Infection)

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If a permanent tooth is dislodged, act quickly to improve the chances of saving it. Gently pick it up by the crown, avoid touching the root, and rinse it with water if dirty—do not scrub. If possible, place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or saliva. Contact our office immediately, as treatment within the first hour offers the best outcome.

When should I go to the ER instead of an emergency dentist?

You should go to the emergency room if you’re experiencing significant facial swelling, trauma involving the head or jaw, or other, more time-sensitive injuries that are not dental-related. These situations require immediate medical attention. For issues like toothaches, broken teeth, or lost restorations, a Farmington emergency dentist is best equipped to provide prompt, specialized care and relieve dental pain effectively.

Is emergency dental care expensive?

The cost of emergency dental care can vary depending on the type of situation and severity of the issue. Minor treatments may end up being more affordable, while more complex procedures can cost more. Of course, we help patients maximize their insurance benefits and offer flexible payment solutions to make urgent care as manageable as possible. The important thing is to get to our office as quickly as possible to be seen by Dr. Casteel in a timely manner.
