The Emergency Dentistry Treatment Process
Evaluation + Diagnosis
Upon arrival, our first priority is to create a comforting atmosphere for both the child and their parents. Our skilled team quickly obtains a thorough history to understand the nature of the emergency. We may also take digital X-rays for a clearer view, ensuring an accurate diagnosis is reached.
Come up with a Plan
Once we understand the problem, we formulate a tailored treatment plan considering both the child's and parent's needs. We ensure transparency by explaining all potential treatment options, and we use visual aids to show both the patient and parent what to anticipate throughout the process.
Pain Relief
While we aim to provide comprehensive care, our immediate concern is alleviating any discomfort the child might be experiencing. Immediate pain relief is our priority, even if full treatment might be scheduled for a later date. We employ the latest techniques to ensure your child is at ease.
Scheduling
Recognizing the urgency of emergency situations, we strive to schedule further treatments as soon as possible. Our team works diligently to arrange appointments based on the child's immediate needs, ensuring their oral health is restored in a timely and efficient manner.
