What Should I Expect at My Emergency Dental Visit?

- Consult – When did the pain or condition start? Where is it located?
- X-rays – We will take digital images of the area for Dr. Vayner to use in diagnosis.
- Exam – Dr. Vayner will examine the area and provide treatment options.
- Treatment – In some cases, we can resolve your dental emergency in a single visit. Other times, you may need a follow-up visit to finish treatment.

How Do I Prevent a Dental Emergency?
Preventing dental emergencies starts with a partnership between you and your dentist. Taking excellent care of your teeth at home is a good start. Combining diligent home care with regular dental cleanings and checkups is the best insurance policy to prevent dental emergencies.
