How We Treat Dental Emergencies

As frightening and stressful as a dental emergency is, you’ll need to act to take control of the situation rather quickly if you don’t want to risk worse damage. The first thing you should do is give our office a call to schedule an appointment with our emergency dentist in Plano, TX. From there, here’s how you can expect us to treat your dental emergency:
Schedule your same-day emergency appointment: We’ll schedule your emergency appointment as soon as possible, often within the same day. Then, we’ll give you first aid instructions to use until you can reach our office.
Your emergency exam with Dr. Kung: When you arrive, your emergency dentist Dr. Kung will inspect your smile and take any necessary X-rays to learn more about your emergency.
Review your treatment options: Once dentist has narrowed down the underlying issue and the best ways to treat it, he’ll review all his findings with you and fully explain your options.
Repair your smile: We will help you choose the treatment that’s best for you, and then we’ll begin working on your smile to get you out of pain and preserve your natural teeth. If you’re nervous or otherwise very uncomfortable in the dental chair, we have calming sedation options to help you sit back and relax while we get your oral health back on track.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

It’s important to note that there isn’t really a way to give a general price range ahead of time when it comes to emergency dental treatments. Some cases are relatively simple and might only require a filling or antibiotics; in other cases, multiple teeth might need to be repaired or replaced. The cost of your emergency dental care will depend entirely on the type of treatment you need. During your emergency appointment, our Plano emergency dentists we will figure out what kind of services you need, and we can give you a more specific estimate of the final price once a treatment plan is made.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Since there are various ways a dental emergency occurs, you can’t entirely avoid the risk of one occurring. Nevertheless, you can keep your teeth and gums significantly safer by:
Brushing at least two times every day with fluoride-based toothpaste
Flossing on a regular basis
Always using scissors to open packages – not your teeth
Avoiding ice, popcorn kernels, hard candy, and other foods known to crack teeth
Getting a mouthguard for playing sports
Visiting Dr. Kung for checkups and cleanings twice a year
