To make this type of care more affordable, we’re happy to accept a wide variety of PPO dental insurance plans as well as all major credit cards.
Keys to Preventing Dental Emergencies
The best ways to lower your chances of needing to make a sudden, unexpected dental visit include:
- Wearing a mouthguard whenever you play sports to keep your teeth protected from impact.
- NOT chewing extremely hard non-food items like ice, pens, pencils, fingernails, etc.
- Being careful when eating particularly hard or sticky foods.
- Not using your teeth to open packages or bottles.
- Keeping up with your daily oral hygiene to prevent small issues that could turn into big emergencies later.
