What are some common types of dental emergencies?
Emergency dentists are trained to handle all kinds of dental emergencies. Here are 3 common dental problems that require urgent evaluation and treatment.
Toothache
Tooth pain is one of the most common dental symptoms. Common causes of toothache include tooth decay and an object or food particles stuck between the teeth. Mild tooth pain can be managed at home with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses. However, toothache can sometimes become progressively worse and intense. An emergency dentist in Maryland can evaluate you, identify the cause of your toothache, and treat it appropriately.
Broken Dentures
There are various types of dentures (false teeth) available that function like natural teeth. However, these dental appliances do not last forever and can sometimes break. It is not a good idea to try and fix a broken denture at home. Keep in mind that household glue is not safe for consumption. Therefore, using it to fix broken dentures can make you sick. Even a small bump in the denture can cause irritation and mouth sores. Improperly fixed dentures can cause permanent damage to your mouth. Always seek care from an emergency dentist to have a broken denture fixed. You can also go to your regular dentist if an appointment is available.
Loose Tooth or Knocked-Out Tooth
A sports injury, fall, or biting down on hard food can sometimes cause a tooth to become loose. In some cases, a tooth can be completely knocked out of the mouth. This is a dental emergency. The chances of saving the tooth are highest the sooner you get to an emergency dentist. Ideally, this should be within 30-60 minutes.
In the meantime, try to find the tooth and hold it by the crown (chewing surface). Rinse it with water if it’s dirty. Try to place it back in its place (adult teeth only). Baby teeth should not be reinserted. You can bite on a handkerchief to keep a knocked-out tooth in place. Make your way to an emergency dentist as soon as possible. 1
The Express Dentist hotline at 1-844-593-0591 can get you an appointment with an emergency dentist in Maryland on an urgent basis.
How to pay for emergency dental care without insurance?
If you don’t have dental insurance, a dental emergency can make a deep hole in your wallet. For example, a root canal treatment for a tooth abscess can cost anywhere from $750 to $1,200. Express Dentist partner providers accept cash, credit cards, and private PPO insurance.
If cash or card payment is not affordable, there are several other options to pay for urgent dental care without insurance.
Flexible Payment Plans
Many emergency dentists offer financing options or flexible payment plans. These are usually low-interest or no-fee payment options. You simply pay the total cost of your dental treatment in several divided weekly or monthly instalments.
Dental Savings Plans
Some emergency dentists participate in a dental savings plan. Signing up for such a plan typically costs $100 to $200 per year. The plan gives you access to a pool of dentists in your area. Participating dentists offer services at discounted rates to plan members.
Government Resources
Medicare does not usually cover dental treatment. However, Medicare Advantage and supplemental plans may provide some coverage. Medicaid offers some dental benefits. This is typically dental emergencies for those over 21 years of age and more extensive coverage for those under 21. The CHIP program provides dental services to children aged 19 and younger who don’t have insurance.
Emergency Room Visits
Many people seek care for dental emergencies at their nearest emergency room. This should be your last resort, however. ER doctors do not usually offer specific treatment for dental issues. They simply treat symptoms such as dental pain or bleeding. The cost of an ER visit may be covered by your medical insurance, though. An emergency dentist in Maryland (or wherever you live) can get to the bottom of the problem. They can identify the cause of your symptoms and address it.
The Express Dentist hotline at 1-844-593-0591 is the easiest way to get instant access to leading dental professionals in your area. Whether you want an out-of-hours or weekend dental appointment, call us today. High-quality dental care is available at affordable prices without waiting.
