Emergency

The cost associated with a dental emergency will depend on several factors, including the severity of your condition as well as the type of treatment required. Generally speaking, though, most treatments for dental emergencies are much more cost-effective than treatments for long-term conditions due to their immediacy and accuracy.

Generally speaking, the emergency room is not equipped to handle dental emergencies. While they may be able to provide some temporary relief from pain or minor treatment for facial trauma related to an accident, they will typically refer you to your family dentist for further care. In some rare cases, they may even recommend hospitalization if there are signs of a serious infection or other complications requiring specialized care. However, Fulton Dental Associates should always be your first choice for emergency care.

Yes! Although it can be tempting to try to treat a dental emergency on your own with home remedies such as hot/cold compresses or over-the-counter medications, visiting an experienced professional is always recommended.

A dental emergency is any type of severe pain or infection in the mouth, jaw, or teeth that requires immediate attention. Examples of common dental emergencies include toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, lost fillings, trauma to the face or mouth, fractured jaw, abscesses (infections) in the gums and/or teeth, gum swelling and pain, and wisdom tooth issues. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s best to call your dentist right away.
