Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Toothaches: Toothaches are not as scary as other dental emergencies but can be equally as time sensitive. Toothaches can have a variety of causes, most commonly toothaches are caused by tooth decay or tooth damage. While toothaches can be a normal part of the developmental process for children, we should always take dental pain seriously. The first step is to grab some dental floss and try to remove debris from around the tooth, if this doesn't help take over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen and follow the instructions on the label. After that schedule an appointment with Dr. Kleiner and our team to get out of pain quickly!
Chipped Teeth & Broken Teeth: We put our teeth through excessive wear and tear every day. Even though our teeth are one of the strongest substances in our body, they are still prone to chipping. The type of repair on a chipped tooth depends on the severity of the chip. If the chip is small, we will be able to repair it with a tooth-colored filling or a bond. If the front of your tooth is chipped, we could apply a veneer to give you a flawless and natural solution. No matter the procedure, the process is quite simple and painless. If you have a chipped or broken tooth and it is not causing any pain or discomfort you can wait until regular business hours to receive care.
Knocked-Out Teeth: If you have a tooth knocked-out try to remain calm and look for the missing tooth. If you are able to find it, try to pick it up by the crown portion and rinse off the tooth. Ideally you should place the tooth in a glass of cold milk and head to the dentist immediately, there is still a good chance that we will be able to replant your tooth within an hour of the incident. In addition to replanting we also offer a variety of tooth replacement options for every budget.
Lost Filling/Crown: If you have lost a filling or crown restoration to your teeth please refrain from eating on that side of your mouth and book an appointment with Dr. Kleiner and our team ASAP. Your mouth will most likely feel sensitive in that area and it is important that you don't wait to receive treatment. We will do everything in our power to get you into our office as soon as possible as a lost filling or crown require immediate attention.
The Cost Of Treating Dental Emergencies
Unfortunately we can't know for sure what your dental emergency will cost to treat until you come into Classic Dental Care Gilbert and meet with Dr. Kleiner and our team, however, there are a few guidelines depending on the type of dental emergency that you are dealing with. If you are dealing with a simple cavity that is causing a toothache it will be significantly cheaper than a knocked out restoration. With that said, we are always available to work with you and your insurance plans to get you the best deal possible. If you don't have insurance we offer a variety of financing options to help you afford the treatment that you need.
