What to expect during dental emergency treatment?
To begin, we will ask about the issue you are currently facing to determine if an x-ray is needed. If necessary, we will quickly and easily perform the x-ray. By examining the x-ray and your teeth, we can identify the root cause of the problem and provide the appropriate treatment during your visit to prevent further deterioration. If an active infection is detected, we may prescribe antibiotics to address it.
