What to Expect During Dental Emergency Treatment
To begin, we will ask about your current issue to determine if an X-ray is needed. If so, we will quickly conduct the X-ray. By reviewing the results and assessing your dental condition, we can identify the underlying cause of your problem. During your visit, we will provide the necessary treatment to prevent further complications. If there’s an active infection, we may prescribe antibiotics to help address it.
