What Types of Dental Emergencies Can an Endodontist Treat?

In cases like the following, an endodontist in Melbourne may be the best specialist to see:

  • A tooth has been cracked or badly damaged, enough to put the inner pulp at risk.
  • A tooth feels sensitive whenever it’s exposed to hot or cold foods or beverages.
  • A severe toothache or dental pain is persistent, especially whenever you chew food or bite down on it.

In any of these situations, call our office immediately so we can fit you into our schedule the same day you reach out.

How We Care for Dental Emergencies

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, call our office immediately to speak with our knowledgeable and friendly front desk staff. They have over a decade of experience helping patients navigate through emergency situations and can provide you with helpful first aid guidance. We also block out a portion of our schedule to accommodate urgent needs with same-day appointments, so we’ll be able to examine and treat you as soon as possible.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies

The cost of dental emergencies in Melbourne will depend on many factors that we can only determine after we’ve had a chance to thoroughly examine your smile, like what type of treatment you require—not every emergency can be solved with root canal treatment!

Not only are we in-network with most major PPO dental insurance plans, but we also offer additional financing through CareCredit to make paying for your treatment as simple and cost-effective as possible. If you have any questions, click the button below to learn more.

Every Dental Emergency is Different

The term “dental emergency” can refer to anything from a single hurting tooth to multiple knocked-out teeth and many situations in between. At Associated Endodontists of Melbourne, our emergency dentists are experts at treating severely infected and painful teeth, but even the cost of treatment here can vary based on the number of teeth that need attention and how severe the infection is. This is all to say that there is no fixed price for emergency dental care.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Most dental insurance plans do cover emergency care, including endodontic procedures like root canal treatment. The specific amount can vary from plan to plan and might be affected if you’ve met your deductible or yearly maximum. We don’t expect you to read through your insurance plan in the middle of a dental emergency, which is why we’ll just ask you for your membership information in our office. We’ll do the rest as far as verifying your benefits so we can give you an estimate of your coverage.

Other Options for Making Dental Emergencies Affordable

Taking Care of Your Smile Can Save You Money

Of course, in an ideal world, you would never need to visit an emergency dentist in Melbourne. Most of the patients we see are experiencing pain and infection due to a lack of consistent oral care. By brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once, and visiting your general dentist at least twice a year for checkups, many of the issues that cause people to see us can be largely avoided.
