There may not be a fee for emergency dental care at White Bear Smiles. However, this can depend on the language of your insurance policy and the remaining coverage. A dental team member can provide guidance.
If you have a dental emergency or are unsure, we want to hear from you right away.
Common dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches and sensitivity
- Jaw or facial swelling
- Broken or knocked out tooth
- Broken or knocked out restoration
- Oral injuries and stuck objects
Of course, there are too many potential emergency scenarios to list them all, so if you’re in doubt, call our dental team for guidance.
In some cases, a chipped tooth or a damaged restoration can wait until the next opening. However, if you have pain or other symptoms, we want to see you as soon as possible.
Lowering Your Emergency Dental Risks
To lower your risk of the most common emergency (tooth root infection), be sure to brush and floss at least twice daily and visit our dental office every six months for checkups and cleanings. You should also contact us if you notice any changes in your oral health.
If you compete in athletics, always wear a mouthguard.
