What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation requiring immediate attention to save a tooth, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or alleviate severe pain. Common examples include knocked-out or severely broken teeth, severe toothaches, abscesses, foreign objects stuck in teeth, and soft tissue injuries. Conditions such as infections causing significant swelling, especially if it affects breathing or swallowing, also qualify as emergencies. Not sure if your situation qualifies as an emergency? Feel free to give us a call so we can assist.
What if I need immediate treatment?
If you need to see an emergency dentist in Katy right away, please give our office a call as soon as you can. We will assess the situation over the phone and begin preparing a treatment room for you. For severe issues like broken jaws or non-dental emergencies, we recommend finding your nearest emergency room. Taking quick action in a dental emergency can prevent further damage and ensure you receive appropriate care promptly.
Are dental emergencies covered by insurance?
Coverage for dental emergencies varies depending on your insurance plan. Many dental insurance policies cover emergency treatments, such as extractions, root canals, and repairs for broken teeth. Our office also provides $40 emergency exams to help make emergency dental care cost-effective and accessible for patients in Katy. If you are currently in need of same-day dental care, we would be happy to help you find a budget-friendly financing option once the situation is under control.
