Dental 911! Coverage and an After-Hours Emergency
No one hopes for a dental emergency, but it can and does happen. Plan ahead for the unexpected. In case of emergency:
- Your regular dentist should be your first call. Get your dentist’s phone number now…before an accident happens. Find out how to contact him or her after normal office hours and save it in your cell phone.
- Address your pain level as soon as possible by applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and/or any bleeding.
- Take your dentist’s advice. You may need to have an emergency office visit.
A dental emergency can take place anywhere. If you happen to be on vacation when a tooth terror strikes, find an in-network dentist in the area. This will ensure lower out-of-pocket costs. Remember – contact your regular dentist first to ensure quick and low-cost care.
