You count on your pearly whites to not only make your smile look beautiful but for everyday functions like eating and speaking. However, many people put off treatment\u2014no matter how much they need it\u2014due to the fear of the unexpected cost. Unfortunately, ignoring dental pain can lead to more serious oral health issues. Your dentist in Pensacola is here to tell you what to know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patriotdentalpensacola.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergencies<\/a> while on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Things First: What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are suffering from any abnormal symptoms, such as unusual swelling or abnormal pain, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. However, the following issues will require immediate attention from an emergency dentist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A loose or knocked-out permanent tooth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cracked or broken teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lost filling, crown, or restoration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Painful swelling in or around the mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncontrollable bleeding in the mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An injured jaw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Be mindful that if a dental injury causes potentially life-threatening symptoms (such as difficulty breathing), you should call 911 or go to the nearest ER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if Your Dental Emergency Goes Untreated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tempting to minimize dental discomfort and put off treatment because you think it will save you money. However, this is not usually the case. Oral health issues are likely to grow progressively worse, costing you more in the long run. It\u2019s best to treat your smile in the early stages of your dental issue so you can save your smile <em>and <\/em>your bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Urgent Dental Care Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dental insurance helps make dental services more affordable, it\u2019s not the only option. Many dental offices accept payment through third-party financiers, such as CareCredit. This option allows you to spread out the cost over a period of time with payments every month. Another benefit is it usually has low-to-no interest! Additionally, you can even pay for treatments that might not have been covered under a traditional insurance plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a dental emergency, you don\u2019t have to put off getting speedy and effective treatment. By contacting your dental team, you can find out which financing options they offer so you can return to a comfortable, happy smile again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patriot Dental proudly keeps the smiles of Pensacola whole and healthy through the expertise of Dr. Keith Lisonbee and Dr. Dan Henry.
