  • Review findings: After going over his findings with you, he’ll lay out a treatment plan that specifically addresses your dental emergency and prevents it from getting worse. Our team will make sure to explain the estimated length of your treatment and costs beforehand so you can make an informed decision on your care.
  • Get the care you need: Our team has years of experience handling dental emergencies and will work diligently to alleviate your dental issue, whether it’s through dental fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, or another service entirely.

The Most Common Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies come in two main varieties. They can either be the result of a sudden accident or have taken months to develop. In either case, pain and damage is usually the result, and seeking out professional care is always the best thing to do. Ahead of your emergency visit, you can improve your situation by taking the following steps into account below.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

No two dental emergencies are exactly alike, and because of this, there is no set cost for urgent dental care. Some patients just need a prescription while others require multiple teeth to be removed and replaced. When you come to see us, we’ll quickly go over all of your options so you’ll know exactly what you’ll be expected to pay. For concerns about large out-of-pocket costs, flexible financing is always available through our office.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

A few small habits can greatly reduce the chances you’ll need to make an unexpected trip to the dentist:

  • Dental-related injuries are extremely common during sports, so wear a mouthguard every time you play.
  • Enamel is extremely strong, but it can still be damaged or even break if you regularly chew on ice, pens, pencils, or fingernails. Try sugar-free gum instead.
  • Don’t use your teeth to open stubborn packages—grab the scissors!
  • Brush and floss your teeth every day to keep them free of decay and infection.
  • Come see Dr. Sikes if you feel the smallest hint of a dental problem. Early care now can prevent an emergency later!
