Dental emergencies can happen at any moment and require immediate attention to prevent further damage and preserve oral health. Delaying treatment can permanently damage teeth, gums, and other structures, leading to more severe and complex problems down the road.

At Martin Dental, we understand the urgency of dental emergencies and provide quick and efficient care to help you get back to your routine as soon as possible. Our experienced dentists and Gilbert dental professionals are equipped with the latest tools and techniques to handle various emergencies.

A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Handle 5 Common Dental Emergencies

• Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss gently to remove any food particles stuck between your teeth. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Take over-the-counter pain medication if needed.
• Chipped or Broken Tooth: Collect broken pieces and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If the tooth is still in place, cover it with sugar-free gum or dental wax to protect it from further damage.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown (the white part) and rinse it gently with water. Do not touch the root. If possible, try to put the tooth back into its socket and hold it in place with your finger. If that's not possible, store the tooth in a milk or saline solution container.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Rinse your mouth with warm water and cover the exposed tooth with dental wax or sugar-free gum to protect it from sensitivity and further damage.
• Bleeding Gums: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and gently floss to remove any food particles that may be stuck between your teeth. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.

If you're ever in doubt or need additional guidance, don't hesitate to contact Martin Dental for help.

Tips for Finding an Affordable Dentist for Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies can be expensive, but they don't have to be. Here are some tips to help you find an affordable dentist for emergency dental needs:

• Check for dental insurance coverage: Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of emergency dental treatment costs. Contact your insurance provider to find out what's covered and what's not.
• Look for a Gilbert dental clinic that offers a discount program: Some dental clinics offer discounts for uninsured patients or those who pay in cash.
• Ask about payment plans: Many dental clinics offer payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of your dental treatment over a period.
• Consider alternative treatments: In some cases, alternative therapies may be less expensive than traditional dental procedures.
