Mouth Trauma and the Value of an Emergency Dentist

Cheerful young man showing nice teeth in his smile.

While you may rely on the hospital emergency room for an injury to your body, an accident involving your teeth warrants a trip to the dentist. In fact, an emergency dentist is much more equipped to properly handle your dental trauma. Not only does a dentist have ways to relieve your pain after a mouth-related injury, but they can also provide lasting repairs that consider the health, function and aesthetics of your smile. Leaving a dental problem untreated can lead to more serious and costly complications.

Urgent Dental Care

Did your son hit his teeth on the monkey bars at school? Are you missing work due to a severe toothache? Dental emergencies can be painful and disruptive for both children and adults. And they don’t always happen during an accident. Some dental progress slowly but finally reach a point of significant and noticeable discomfort. These are times when your dentist wants to see you right away.

No Insurance?
No Problem!

Join our Premier Plan Today

Dentistry should be as affordable as it is high-quality. At Peninsula Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, we firmly believe that the terms of a dental insurance plan (or lack thereof) should not dictate the quality of care our patients deserve. That’s why we are pleased to offer our in-house savings plan. Now, patients who are uninsured can STILL save on general, preventative, and even ortho services!
