Unfortunately, many patients put off going to the dentist for as long as possible because they are worried about the cost. However, this can wreak havoc on the look and function of your smile, resulting in further damage. To prevent that from happening, keep reading to learn what you need to know about getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhartforddentalgroup.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">urgent dental care<\/a> on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any abnormal symptoms, from oral pain to unusual swelling, requires treatment. However, there are some issues that necessitate more immediate attention, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A loose or knocked-out permanent tooth.<\/li><li>An injured jaw.<\/li><li>Painful swelling.<\/li><li>Uncontrollable bleeding.<\/li><li>Broken or cracked teeth.<\/li><li>A lost filling, crown, or restoration.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dental injury has resulted in potentially life-threatening symptoms, like difficulty breathing, then call 911 or head to the nearest ER. Otherwise, you should get in touch with your dentist\u2019s office right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will Happen If You Don\u2019t Seek Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All too often, patients don\u2019t seek treatment because they believe they are<em> saving<\/em> money by not visiting the dentist. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, every $1 invested in preventive care can save you between $8 and $50 in restorative and cosmetic care down the line. So, imagine how much you\u2019d save by getting treatment when the first signs of a dental injury arise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Urgent Dental Care Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental insurance is designed to make preventive and restorative care more affordable, but it\u2019s by no means the only option. To start, flexible financing through third-party financiers (like CareCredit) is available. With low-to-no interest, this option allows you to break up the cost of even the most extensive treatment plans into your monthly budget. In-office dental plans are also an option, which works similarly to dental insurance but doesn\u2019t involve annual maximums and deductibles. Simply put, being uninsured doesn\u2019t mean paying for your dental care will break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling with a dental injury, don\u2019t wait any longer to get the fast, effective treatment you need. Get in touch with your dentist and find out which financial options are available so you can enjoy a pain-free smile again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhartforddentalgroup.com\/about-us.html\">West Hartford Dental Group<\/a>, our team is united behind our mission to provide quality-based, judgment-free, world-class dental care.
