Cost of Emergency Dentistry
The cost of emergency dental care will depend on the situation. The location of the dentist’s office and if sedation is required may also contribute to the cost of emergency dentistry. We’ll begin by examining your condition and resolving any discomfort you may be experiencing during your appointment. Then, we’ll discuss our results and recommend a course of action, complete with a cost estimate. You can trust that our team will go over insurance, financing options, and payment plans after determining the ideal solution for you.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?
Since each policy is unique, you’ll need to review the specifics of your dental insurance to determine how it applies to you. Most PPO insurance policies include coverage for an emergency examination. Additionally, they frequently cover 70–80% of minor restorative dental services and around 50% of major emergency services (up to the annual maximum of the insurance plan). Our team is experienced in dealing with insurance providers and will help you maximize your benefits so that you save the most money.
How to Prepare for Dental Emergencies
First-aid kits, just like when there are cases of medical emergencies, are always beneficial when a dental injury occurs. What we propose for packing items in your kit are as follows:
- A small box or container with a lid
- Pads of gauze
- Cotton balls
- Pain medications or painkillers
- Solution of sodium saline
- Tissues
- Dental cement
- Latex gloves

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies
Emergencies are not always preventable. While some incidents are unavoidable, others can be prevented by implementing certain measures like:
- When exercising, use a custom-made mouthguard. Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth during the night.
- Avoid chewing your fingernails, pencils, ice cubes, or hard candies, and avoid using your teeth to open packages.
- Maintain oral hygiene. Brush and floss your teeth daily. The more thoroughly you clean your mouth, the less likely you are to develop an infection that results in a terrible toothache.
- Visit us every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning to make sure your teeth are strong and healthy. At these consultations, we can diagnose and treat dental problems before they develop into full-fledged emergencies.
If you are unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency, call us immediately, and one of our staff will walk you through your options and schedule an appointment for you.
Dental Emergency FAQs
What should I do if I have a dental emergency and can’t reach my dentist?
If you have a serious toothache, you should take painkillers for relief. Rinse your mouth multiple times with a saltwater solution if there is swelling since this can ease both inflammation and pain. Additionally, you can try applying a cold compress to your cheeks over the swollen area to help reduce inflammation. If you notice continuous bleeding, bite down on a gauze pad or cloth to exert pressure on the bleeding spot.
What if a tooth gets knocked out in an accident?
If a tooth is knocked out due to an accident, immediately clean it with saline or milk solution and reinsert it in the tooth socket. Contact your dentist promptly to preserve the tooth. This should be performed quickly following the injury. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, keep it in a container of saline or milk solution. Avoid immersing the tooth in water, as this might cause damage to the fragile cells. If neither milk nor saline is available, keep the tooth wet by placing it in your mouth.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency in Frisco?
Some dental problems require immediate attention or urgent care, while others can be delayed until your next appointment. It is critical to understand the difference between the two, especially if you have a dental emergency on a weekend or when dental clinics are closed.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments in Frisco?
