Here\u2019s why your first call during a dental crisis should be to\nyour emergency dentist in Dallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Dentist Can Handle All Your Dental Needs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a tooth is lost or damaged, time is of the essence. The\ndoctors at the ER won\u2019t necessarily have the specialized knowledge to repair or\nsave a damaged tooth. Your dentist is trained in providing all sorts of care\nfor your teeth; they\u2019ll be able to diagnose and treat your tooth as quickly as\npossible, which gives you a better chance of having it fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Dentist is Someone You Know and Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study in the research publication <em>Journal of Family Practice<\/em> showed that patients are more likely to\nseek professional care when they trust their doctors. You may be more reluctant\nto get the help you need if it comes from a physician you\u2019re unfamiliar with.\nWhen you establish yourself as a patient at a dental practice, it\u2019s easier to\nform a trusting relationship with the dentist and their team. This can give you\nmore assurance in the future if the worst happens and you need help right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency Room Visits Can Be Expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average ER visit tends to be very expensive and can\npotentially be thousands of dollars, especially without health insurance. Many dentists\noffer various financing options for patients without insurance that takes\nindividual budgets into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency Dentists Will See You Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists who offer emergency care will make same day\nappointments whenever they can. They\u2019ll be sure to see you as soon as possible\nso you don\u2019t spend hours in a waiting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Call the Emergency Room?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it will be necessary to call the ER. If there&#8217;s serious bleeding or an infection that\u2019s making it hard to breathe or swallow, it could signal a life-threatening emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re suffering from or suspect a dental emergency, it\u2019s<br>essential to get professional help as quickly as possible. Keep your dentist\u2019s<br>phone number on hand, and be sure to describe your symptoms clearly over the<br>phone. When it comes to saving your teeth, make sure you have a dentist in<br>Dallas you can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Arrechea has over 20 years of experience practicing dentistry and loves seeing her patients smile and feel confident in their oral health.
