The Emergency Dentist in Pasadena
Frequently we suffer from accidents that lead to mouth and teeth-related injuries.
Such injuries can be avoided by proper use of safety equipment such as helmets or
mouthguards when participating in risky activities. Benign activities, such as
chewing hard popcorn kernels, ice or candy can also cause cracks in teeth.
A general dentist will be able to take on an emergency case when the situation
requires it. Because dental practices are private, emergency dental care
will not automatically be covered. Instead, you will have to rely on your
insurance or apply for a monthly payment plan. One example of such a plan
is the American Dental Association (ADA) -endorsed CareCredit program. Your
Pasadena emergency dentist can give you more information.
Examples of dental emergencies include but are not limited to the following.
- Cuts or bites in the lip that require antibiotics and stitches
- A crack in a tooth
- Broken jaw
- Knocked out teeth
