Frequently Asked Questions
What causes dental emergencies?
Accidents are the cause of most dental emergencies, such as falls or sports injuries. Tooth decay, loose fillings, and other types of dental injuries are also common triggers for emergencies and may require urgent dental care.
How long do I have to wait for an emergency dental appointment?
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms we’ve mentioned above, it’s time to seek emergency dental assistance. If left untreated, the dental injuries may take a turn for the worse. Here at San Diego Dental Specialists, our team takes dental emergencies seriously and makes sure you are well cared for the same day you give us a call.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
Each dental emergency comes with its unique treatment needs. Because of that, the cost of each appointment is determined on a case-by-case basis. Once you arrive, our emergency dentists will diagnose your dental situation to determine which procedures are needed. Cost factors include the dental materials needed to repair the tooth or gums, and whether sedation dentistry is required.
