Where to Go During a 24 7 Dental Emergency

If you or someone you love has a dental emergency far from any dentist, do you know what to do? Do you have a plan for if you suffer a dental emergency in the middle of the night? When an emergency strikes, there’s no time to waste. You need actionable advice and help right now from an experienced dental professional. That’s just one of the services that we offer patients at Denteractive. There are many reasons why folks turn to us whenever they have to deal with a 24 7 dental emergency. 

An Alternative to Panic… 

When a dental emergency strikes, most folks’ first instinct is to panic. That’s understandable. It’s human nature. Our app can keep you from doing so. When someone panics, they tend to overact, thus missing ways that the situation could be improved. In an emergency, you can go onto our app and quickly talk to a real, live, dental professional. They’ll be able to see your problem, figure out what’s going on, and give you a diagnosis you can trust. 

… And an Alternative to “Putting It Off” 

Many of us, when we suffer sharp dental pain late at night, on weekends, or any other time that doesn’t coincide with dentist’s office hours, will just “put it off.” We’ll say something to the effect of: “well, if it stays this bad, I’ll call a doctor Monday” or “if it gets worse, I’ll just go to the emergency room.” Denteractive is a better option than both. Talking to a dentist immediately has the potential to give you an effective, pain-relieving treatment. While some emergencies do necessitate going to an emergency room, teledentistry may be able to help. Moreover, teledentistry is far, far less expensive than going to the emergency room, getting in an ambulance, and so forth. 

No Travel, No Waiting Times, Just Treatment 

Multiple studies over several years have shown that one of the most common (if not the most common) reasons that people go to the emergency department is a toothache. The truth is that many emergency rooms aren’t really in a position to be able to adequately treat dental problems. For the most part, what they’ll do is prescribe pain medication, antibiotics, or something similar, and then refer the patient back to dental providers in the community. Ultimately, that costs the patient time and money. Denteractive cuts through all that, providing an accurate diagnosis quickly. 

More Than a Place to Turn to in a 24 7 Dental Emergency 

The truth is that a person doesn’t have to be in the midst of an emergency to utilize Denteractive. So many have used our app to find a dentist in their area. Moreover, you can use it to cut down on those costly, lengthy trips to see a dentist in person. Dental consultations, follow-ups, checkups, and more can all be done from the comfort and safety of your home, car, or elsewhere. To see how Denteractive can work for you, check out our site today.
