At this time, all you are thinking about is the extreme pain you are experiencing and how you can relieve it as soon as possible. However, you need to see a dentist so that he or she determines which treatments you need to fix your dental problem. You also want to know if the procedures or treatment options you are undertaking will be covered by your insurance.
Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies will most likely involve things like toothache, knocked-out tooth, chipped or broken tooth, and lost filling or crown. These types of dental issues are easy to take care of at home as you wait to see a dentist. However, if you are not sure how you can deal with the situation, you should seek assistance from our dental team. Call and alert us of the situation and we will walk you through the steps needed to relieve you of any pain and reduce swelling as well as prevent further harm to your mouth. Make sure you stay calm and avoid panicking as it can do more than good.
Are You Covered by Insurance?
Whether or not you are covered for a dental emergency depends on the kind of dental insurance you have bought. It also depends on what restorative treatment will be needed to repair your smile. When you set an appointment with our dentist, he or she will go over the treatment options in addition to the pricing so that you understand what is covered by insurance and what is not covered under your plan.
And if you are not sure what your policy says or you don't know if the insurance covers any or all of the restorative care, our dental team will work on your behalf, helping you get all the answers you need in order to make the right decision about your treatment. We will help you maximize your insurance plan while keeping your out-of-pocket expenses as low as possible. This way, you are able to receive the emergency treatment and care you need.
