FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Time is critical! Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and call us immediately at (361) 271-3000. The sooner you get treatment (ideally within 30 minutes), the better chance we have of saving your tooth.
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
At Grand Prix Dental & Orthodontics, we offer same-day emergency appointments for patients in pain. We prioritize emergency cases and will do everything possible to see you as soon as you call. We also offer extended evening hours and Saturday appointments to accommodate urgent dental needs.
Is a severe toothache always an emergency?
Yes, a severe toothache is considered a dental emergency, especially when accompanied by swelling, fever, or an unpleasant taste in your mouth. These symptoms could indicate an infection or abscess that requires immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading and causing more serious health problems.
Does insurance cover emergency dental treatment?
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency dental procedures. We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most PPO insurance plans. Our team will work with you to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket expenses. For patients without insurance, we offer affordable payment options and a special emergency exam rate.
