Finding 24-Hour Dental Care
When an individual experiences some type of trauma to their teeth, they generally need to seek out qualified dental care as quickly as possible. In some cases, this may mean seeking out a dentist office that provides emergency care 24 hours a day.
Of course, it is not always trauma that causes a person to seek out this type of emergency care. Even something as simple as a chipped tooth can cause extreme pain and discomfort, or an individual may find that a filling or crown has come loose or fallen out and need immediate attention.
So, what is a person to do if they find themselves in need of emergency dental care in the Bronx? Well, the first thing that anyone should do is to try and contact the dentist that they see normally.
In many cases, this dentist may actually provide emergency care to those patients who really need it or may be able to recommend a dentist who does. In almost every situation, it is advisable for a person to first try and see their regular dentist because this will be the individual who has the most familiarity with their needs and history. The doctor who is the most experienced with a particular patient will also, generally, be the one who is able to provide them with the highest level of care.
If that is not option, one may want to turn to the Internet or the nearest phone book to do a quick search for emergency dental care. Some dentists may even have an emergency number that individuals can call after regular office hours in order to receive care, if it should become immediately necessary. While the family dentist should be the first stop when it comes to finding emergency care, just about every dental professional will agree that care from any qualified professional is better than none at all. With this in mind, it is important for a person to understand that it is not a good idea to put off their care until later, especially if they are in extreme pain.
Lastly, an individual should understand that emergency care will generally be more expensive than regularly scheduled care. Just as any person would expect to pay more if they went to the emergency room instead of their family doctor’s office, they should not be surprised if care in the middle of the night for a broken tooth costs more than a normal trip to the dentist.
