What to Expect During Dental Emergency?
To start your visit, we’ll ask you about the issue you’re experiencing to assess whether an X-ray is needed. If it is, we’ll perform the X-ray promptly. By examining the results alongside your dental condition, we can identify the underlying cause of the problem. During your appointment, we will provide the necessary treatment to prevent further deterioration. If an active infection is detected, we may prescribe antibiotics to help address it.
