- Will the procedures hurt?
Getting you out of pain, not causing more, is the goal.
When performing any dental procedure that may cause you pain or discomfort, we’ll use a local anesthetic to numb the area and keep you comfortable.
If you have difficulty getting numb, fear of needles or pain, or suffer from dental anxiety or fear, then you may benefit from our sedation dentistry Click to learn more about our sedation dentistry options options.
- Can you go to ER for a dental emergency? Yes, but we advise against it because most emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, and hospitals don’t have dentists on staff. This means they’re likely only able to provide antibiotics or pain medication to ease your symptoms, not treat the actual problem. Therefore, you’ll still need to see a dentist.
So to avoid additional bills and potentially putting your tooth or oral health at risk, we recommend contacting us first.
However, if your dental emergency is life-threatening, call 911.
- What isn’t a dental emergency?
The following dental scenarios are generally not considered emergencies, meaning they don’t need immediate attention but are still time-sensitive:
When these happen, call us during regular business hours, and we’ll discuss the next steps. Typically, we’ll book you an appointment at the earliest convenience.
