Does insurance cover emergency dental?

Most dental insurance covers emergency exams and treatment, though coverage varies by procedure. Emergency exams may be covered at 80-100%, while treatments like root canals are covered at 50-80%.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out or broken teeth, abscesses (swollen face/gums), uncontrolled bleeding, and injuries to the mouth, jaw, or face.

Should I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

Only if there's a medical emergency (difficulty breathing, severe uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma with possible fractures). For dental-only issues, emergency dental clinics are more effective and less expensive.

What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?

Handle by the crown (not root), rinse gently without scrubbing, try to reinsert in socket, or keep in milk. See a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.

Does emergency dental treatment hurt?

The problem that brings you in usually hurts more than the treatment. Dentists typically numb the area with local anesthetic before any procedure. Some soreness afterward is common and is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief, but follow your dentist's advice.
