When emergency dental care is needed beyond the clinic's working hours – you can contact one of the first aid clinics. Contact prior to arrival is necessary to avoid prolonged waiting.
How Much Does Urgent Dental Care Cost?
The cost of emergency dental care cannot be determined in advance, as it often happens that the initial diagnosis does not allow accurate prediction of the patient's medical condition. This is because medical emergencies are characterized by the fact that during the course of the treatment, problems, injuries, bruises or other damages that cannot be known in advance are exposed.
Therefore, the price of dental emergency treatment is determined only at the end of the treatment, depending on the nature of the treatment actually performed.
Schedule a follow-up appointment – Why Is It Important?
It is important to know that emergency dental care is intended to prevent an escalation of the condition and help to relieve pain immediately, but this treatment cannot provide a full and comprehensive professional response to the medical problem that has arisen. The medical treatment you receive may not always provide an immediate response to the pain, and it may take a few days for the treatment to affect your physical feeling.
In any case, upon completion of the emergency treatment, it is important and even necessary to schedule an appointment for further treatment. The medical staff at Clalit Smile will be able to provide you with comprehensive, thorough and professional medical treatment. Failure to continue treatment may cause damage not only to the affected tooth, but also to the adjacent teeth and gums.
We wish you will get better soon!
