Is this a problem for Emergency Dental or the ER?
Emergency Dental is a unique concept to help patients avoid crowding the ER with their toothaches. According to the ADA “every year in the U.S., there are an estimated 2 million visits to hospital emergency departments (EDs) for dental pain. Many of these visits can be referred to local dentists and clinics, saving our health care system an estimated $1.7 billion while providing people with the ongoing oral care they need.” Patients questioning whether their toothache should be seen in an emergency room or a dental office should call an Emergency Dental office to seek advice.
Why should you visit Emergency Dental instead of your local ER?
- Avoid overcrowding
- Avoid long wait times at the ER
- Emergency rooms are not equipped to handle dental emergencies
- You’ll most likely be referred back to a dental office for treatment
- The ER visit will be costly
