Although you may never expect to suffer an oral health emergency, one in six Americans are in this situation annually. Whether you have a toothache, lose a filling, or experience another issue that requires urgent attention from a dentist, don&#8217;t panic! Here&#8217;s how to find an emergency dentist quickly to get the prompt treatment you need.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Your Family Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dental practices offer emergency services. Contact your current family dentist and explain the situation to see if they can squeeze you in for an appointment. Some dentists also offer after hours care and emergency phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask Friends and Family for Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t currently have a dentist or your dentist is unable to get you into their office, ask friends and family for recommendations. This can provide you with a short list of dentists who may be able to see you quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Dentist\u2019s in Your Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also conduct an internet search to find local dentists. Take a few minutes to look at their websites to check their services to ensure emergency care is available. You can also review online testimonials to ensure your smile will be in good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review Payment Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you need to be worried about is how you&#8217;re going to pay for emergency dentistry. Review the dentist\u2019s payment options to keep your treatment affordable. Often, you can use your dental insurance for medically necessary services to lower the amount you will pay. Many dentists also accept third-party financing, like CareCredit, to keep any out-of-pocket costs affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hospital ER VS Emergency Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is always best to see a dentist when possible. However, if you can&#8217;t get an appointment with a dentist and you&#8217;re experiencing severe pain or suspect an infection, head to the closest hospital emergency room. Although they can&#8217;t treat the underlying issue, they can prescribe antibiotics and pain relievers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will still need to see a dentist as soon as possible, even if you&#8217;re feeling better. The source of your discomfort will not be resolved without treatment from a dentist. Delaying dental care can result in the loss of your tooth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Megan Edwards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crovattoandedwards.com\/meet-dr-edwards.html\">Dr. Edwards<\/a> completed her undergraduate degree and dental degree at the University of Florida and has continued her education to provide complete services from one location, including emergency dentistry.
