How do I get emergency dental care?
Dental emergencies can be stressful, especially if you aren’t sure where to turn to for help. While patients often think they should head to the ER, most hospitals don’t have dentists on staff. So, unless you’re experiencing a potentially life-threatening symptom (i.e., difficulty breathing, the inability to swallow, uncontrollable bleeding), then the best course of action is to get in touch with your dentist.
At Bell Dental, we have two highly trained emergency dentists near Fern Creek ready to help. Plus, we have appointments as early as 8am and as late as 6pm throughout the week, so we can accommodate same-day appointments. Rest assured, our kind and highly trained staff will do our absolute best to restore your smile as quickly as possible.
How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Fern Creek?
The cost of your dental checkup and cleaning will depend on numerous factors, including whether or not you have dental insurance or are a part of our membership plan. Without these, the average cost in the United States is between $200 and $350. Of course, it’s important to remember how crucial these routine visits are. In one appointment, your dentist can screen for oral cancer, find tooth decay in the early stages, remove stubborn plaque, answer any questions you have about your oral health, and so much more.
What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?
Patients often worry that visiting their dentist will come with a hefty bill. In reality, it’s neglect that’s expensive, not dentistry. The best way to keep your smile and your wallet happy is by prioritizing preventive care. If you want to make preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry more affordable, you’ll be happy to know there are several ways to lower your out-of-pocket expenses as well! To begin, we welcome dental insurance and offer an in-house membership plan. We also happily accept CareCredit, which allows you to choose a payment plan that best suits your budget.
