Preventing Dental Emergencies

Did you know that you can play an integral role in protecting your oral health and avoiding dental emergencies? It’s true, and it’s actually very simple!

Preventive teeth cleanings and checkups every six months is one of the best ways to protect your dental health. During these visits, our dentists will screen you for early signs of issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities, which all could result in a painful toothache if left undiagnosed and untreated.

During your preventive appointments, you’ll also receive tips for how you can have an excellent home care routine using the proper brushing and flossing techniques that will also protect your dental health.

How much does emergency dentistry cost?

It's difficult to say how much emergency dentistry in Melbourne, FL, might cost since every patient's needs differ. For example, one person having tooth pain may need a simple dental filling to eliminate tooth decay. In contrast, another having pain may need root canal treatment to eliminate a tooth infection. These two procedures would have different costs associated with them.

If you or a loved one is in pain or experiencing a dental emergency, we encourage you to call 321 Family Dental at (321) 254-0306 to determine your condition and the subsequent treatment steps.

If cost is a concern, we work with companies like CareCredit and Dentifits that offer third-party financing with affordable monthly payments for patients. CareCredit even has interest-free payments for qualified patients.

321 Family Dental also offers an in-office dental membership plan that provides patients additional savings and discounts on treatment procedures for one low yearly membership fee. The benefits are available to you as soon as you sign up, and you can ask our team for additional details about the in-house membership plan if you have questions.

Our dentists never want financial concerns to keep patients from getting the dental care they need, especially during a dental emergency. Please don't wait to contact our Melbourne dental office.
