Emergency Dentist— Lakeville, MA

Sadly, dental emergencies occur across the country every day. They don’t all stem from rare factors – the causes tend to be much more mundane. That said, you always have your trusty emergency dentist in Lakeville. We at Southeastern Dental Care will get you care when you need it most. As soon as your issue arises, just book an appointment at our office. We’ll make room in our schedule to see you at the earliest possible time.

How We Treat Dental Emergencies

If you’re facing your first dental emergency, you don’t need to panic. Our trained team will gladly walk you through the treatment process. So, expect these four things from your emergency dental visit:

• A Same-Day Appointment – Right as you call us, our dental team will book you for the earliest visit possible. You’ll likely see us the very same day! Regardless, our staff can also provide first aid-tips over the phone during your wait.
• An Emergency Exam – You’ll first undergo an oral exam when you arrive for your visit. That way, Dr. Bui can learn the source of your condition. This step also lets us see how to relieve your pain.
• A Findings Review – After the exam, Dr. Bui will review her findings with you. She’ll suggest suitable procedures for you at that time. Our office will then use your feedback to draft a custom treatment plan. Of course, we’ll explain the estimated cost and time before you commit.
• The Care You Need – We’ll quickly address your dental issue(s) once we've drafted your treatment plan. That’s our standard, as our dental team is highly skilled and experienced. Your smile will get healed whether you need crowns, fillings, root canals, or anything else.

Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies

You can greatly reduce the chance that you will need to visit an emergency dentist if you take a few simple precautions:

• Maintain an excellent daily oral hygiene routine that includes twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing
• Visit us at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup
• Always wear a mouthguard when you play sports
• Do not chew on any hard objects, like ice or rock candies
• Do not use your teeth to open packages or trim your fingernails

Understanding the Cost of Dental Emergencies 

The cost of treating your dental emergency will depend on the nature of the situation. If you only need a prescription, the price will likely be much less than if you require a major procedure. Our team will be upfront about pricing so you don’t face any unpleasant surprises later. We’ll also help you explore how insurance and financing might help with your expenses. Such tools often work well at managing the price of treatment.
