Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
You cannot always prevent a dental injury, but you can take steps to safeguard your child’s smile and help them avoid infections, decay, and disease. Below are just a few simple tips to consider when it comes to minimizing your child’s risk of a dental emergency:
- Make sure they practice good oral hygiene at home
- Keep up with their six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings
- Have them wear a custom athletic mouthguard when playing sports
- Limit their snacking and make sure they’re consuming healthy, nutrient-rich foods
- Watch their lifestyle habits to make sure they’re not biting their fingernails, eating ice, or smoking/vaping
Cost of Treating a Child’s Dental Emergencies
We cannot determine the cost of your child’s dental emergency until we see them for their appointment. The severity of the situation as well as the type of restorative care they will need determines how much you can expect this type of care to cost. But don’t worry, as our team will make sure that we review your dental insurance plan (if you have one) and maximize any benefits you currently have. We’ll also go over additional payment options should you need further assistance to pay for treatment.
