What you need to know about same day emergency dental treatment
The team at Covington Family Dentistry in Covington, Georgia, believes in ensuring patients have access to the dental care they need, including same-day emergency dental treatments. When things go wrong, Dr. Doreen Wilson and her team work alongside patients to help them address the problems that have developed to keep the smile healthy and happy! Below are some commonly asked questions about urgent dental care at our office.
What is same-day emergency dental treatment?Â
Same-day emergency dental treatment is dental care provided on the very same day you reach out due to an urgent need, such as a toothache, broken tooth, or other dental emergencies. Dr. Wilson is here to address common oral health issues as they occur, leaving spaces within her schedule for unexpected arrivals.
When should I seek emergency dental care?Â
If you are in pain, have swelling, or cannot chew or bite properly, do not wait! Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, abscesses, or broken dental work. If it feels urgent, it probably is, so trust your instincts!
Can I show up without an appointment?Â
Our traditional dental clinic recommends you call ahead when you have an emergency dental situation, but we also welcome walk-ins for urgent situations. Giving a quick call helps ensure that our team is ready for you when you arrive and can assist you the minute you come through the door.
Will same-day treatment hurt?Â
We get it—dental visits can sound scary. But emergency dentists are professionals at relieving pain, not causing it. Their priority is to make you comfortable, and they often use numbing agents or other techniques to keep discomfort to an absolute minimum.
What should I bring to my emergency dental visit?Â
Bring your ID, insurance information (if applicable), and a list of any medications you take. If you have lost or have a broken piece of tooth, bring those along, too, when possible. Our team can reattach them to restore the smile when an urgent situation arises.
How long does same-day treatment take?Â
The time needed depends on what’s going on with your smile. Quick fixes like filling a cavity or treating a minor chip might take only 30 minutes, while more complicated procedures could take longer. Dr. Wilson will take time to explain everything.
Is same-day emergency dental care expensive?Â
While emergency treatment often varies in price, our team offers flexible payment options or special discounts for urgent care situations in current patients and families. Plus, handling a dental issue early can save you major costs.
