Dental Emergency Services at Pro-Dental Care in Cave Creek AZ

When a dental emergency hits, everything feels chaotic and scary. You need help, and you need it fast. Dental emergencies strike without warning, leaving you stressed, anxious, and unsure of where to turn. That throbbing ache, a knocked-out tooth, uncontrollable bleeding – these things can’t wait for a regular appointment.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

Sometimes, it’s obvious, like a tooth getting knocked clean out. Other times, you might wonder, “Is this serious enough to call now?” While any dental pain or problem deserves attention, here are everyday situations that require quick emergency dental services:

  • Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent pain that keeps you awake or doesn't respond to over-the-counter pain relievers often signals a severe infection or problem that requires immediate attention.
  • Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth: Especially if the break is significant, causes sharp pain, or leaves sharp edges that cut your tongue or cheek. Even more minor chips can sometimes expose sensitive inner layers.
  • Abscess or Serious Infection: Signs include a pimple-like swelling on your gums, severe pain, fever, facial swelling, or a foul taste in your mouth. An abscess is a severe infection that can spread and needs immediate treatment.
  • Jaw Injury: An injury to the jaw, gums, and soft tissues resulting from accidents or trauma that affects the inside of your mouth requires prompt evaluation and dental treatment.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: Getting professional help within an hour increases the chances of saving the tooth.
  • Lost Filling or Crown: Although it may not be intensely painful initially, losing a restoration leaves the underlying tooth structure exposed and vulnerable to damage, decay, and sensitivity. It needs to be addressed quickly.
  • Uncontrolled Bleeding: After an extraction or injury, some bleeding is normal. However, if it doesn't stop with applied pressure after a reasonable amount of time, please call us.

What to Expect at Pro-Dental Care for Dental Emergencies

First off, we listen. We know you’re stressed. Our goal is straightforward: to alleviate your pain and determine the most effective way to resolve the issue as quickly and gently as possible.
  • Prompt Attention: We will do our best to see you in our Cave Creek office the same day you call, especially if you're in significant pain.
  • Pain Relief First: This is our immediate priority. We have ways to make you comfortable quickly.
  • Clear Explanations: Dr. Azizi will clarify the issue, outline treatment options, discuss their pros and cons, and answer all your questions. We want you involved in your care decisions.
  • Compassionate Care: Dr. Azizi knows how to handle dental anxiety, especially when you're already hurting. Even in an emergency, she takes the time to listen, understand your situation, and make you feel as comfortable as possible.
  • Accurate Diagnosis: We will examine the situation and may use a quick digital X-ray or our Cone Beam CT scanner for complex cases to gain a better understanding.
  • Effective Treatment: We will address infections, fix breaks, and save knocked-out teeth using the best techniques and materials. Our dental laser can also help make procedures smoother and faster.

Affordable Care and Finance Options

  • Payments: We take cash, checks, money orders, and major credit cards. Payment is typically due upon receipt of the service. If you're considering a more comprehensive treatment plan, let's discuss it – we can often work out arrangements.
  • Insurance: We work with most PPO and indemnity plans as an out-of-network provider. Our team is well-versed in insurance and will be happy to assist you in understanding your benefits and filing claims. Just remember, your plan is between you and the insurance company, so you'll cover anything they don't. We can always send a pre-treatment estimate first so there are fewer surprises.
  • Our In-House Plan: This is an excellent option if you don't have dental insurance. Pay one annual fee ($299 for you, $199 for kids under 14), and you'll receive your regular checkups, cleanings, and any necessary x-rays, plus 20% off all other treatments when paid at the time of service: no deductibles, no waiting, no hassle.
  • CareCredit Financing: We partner with CareCredit. They offer plans, including some with no interest if paid on time. Applying is easy.

Common Questions About Pro-Dental Care

Have questions before your visit? Browse our FAQs below to learn about our services, insurance, and what to expect. Still need help? Give us a call!

Q: What is considered a true dental emergency?
A: A dental emergency includes severe, unmanageable toothaches, knocked-out or loose teeth, broken crowns, severe facial swelling, and continuous bleeding. If your tooth is at risk or you are in intense pain, contact us right away.
A: Handle the tooth only by the crown (top part), never the root. Rinse it gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in a small container of milk and call us immediately. Acting fast can save the tooth!
A: Yes, we always do our best to accommodate dental emergencies as quickly as possible. We prioritize getting you out of pain and will work to fit you into our schedule, often on the very same day.
A: For most dental issues, including severe toothaches or lost fillings, it is best to see a dentist. However, if you experience severe facial trauma, a fractured jaw, or swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, please head to the nearest emergency room immediately.
