1. Use a mouthguard
   Are you a fan of sports? Show your appreciation for the sport without putting your perfect smile at risk. Don’t get hit in the face or mouth and end up chipping or losing a tooth. Wear a mouthguard when you’re out on the field or court to protect yourself from a dental emergency.
2. Watch what and how you eat
   Human teeth are tough, but you’d be surprised how easily they can be chipped or cracked. Hard candies and hard meats are just a few of the ways that otherwise solid, straight, and beautiful teeth can be broken. The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to think before you bite. If you’re thinking about giving in to your sweet tooth, don’t. Chipping a tooth isn’t worth it, in addition to cavities from too much sugar.
3. Don’t chew on anything else
   Did you know that chewing your nails, pen caps, and other non-food items can cause your teeth to break or chip? To help you break this habit, try chewing sugarless gum. Not only will it help redirect your fixations, but it’ll also stimulate saliva production and cleanse your teeth.

1. Save your teeth
   Traumatic injuries can result in chipping, fracturing, partial dislocation, or teeth that are completely knocked out. Failure to seek dental emergency care after such an injury can result in permanent tooth loss and the need for dentures, dental implants, or other dental replacements. Fortunately, prompt dental care from an emergency dentist can improve the likelihood of saving your teeth. If your tooth has been chipped, fractured, or completely knocked-out, carefully collect any remaining pieces and bring them to the dental office.
2. Avoid pain
   Whether it’s a toothache or something more serious like a knocked out tooth, there’s a good chance you’ll experience a lot of discomfort around your teeth and gums, as well as in your jaw. The longer you wait to get treatment, the worse the pain will get. If you experience any kind of pain, call us as soon as possible to see if you need an emergency dentist appointment. Dr. Green can provide you with treatments and medications that can help you avoid the pain.
3. Reduce the risk of infections
   In addition to pain, one of the most common issues you’ll face after a dental emergency is infection. Infection can occur as a result of trauma to the body, including injuries to the mouth. If you don’t treat your infection right away, it can spread to other areas of your body and put you at risk for more serious health issues. Visiting us as soon as possible will reduce your risk of developing an infection during a dental emergency.

Come see your Anchorage emergency dentist at Woodside Dental Group as soon as possible. Dr. Green can provide you with treatment and medications to reduce both tooth pain and swelling.

Call us right now or book an appointment online 24/7. Dr. Green understands that there is nothing worse than seeing your child in pain. That’s why Woodside Dental Group is an emergency pediatric dentist that provides same-day and after hours appointments so that your child can get the treatment they need when they need it.

We have a $200 emergency fee in addition to services rendered required to be paid at time of service. If you have dental insurance we will take all of your information to bill the procedures the next business day. When payment comes in, usually 4-6 weeks, we will issue back a check to you for the amount benefit that your insurance covered as if we used it on the day of service. Please note, the emergency fee is not a billable service.

Because you are being seen after hours, our team of insurance specialists are not available to verify your insurance. Therefore it is our policy to have all services paid the day it was rendered.

Unfortunately no. We verify all insurance prior to any appointment in order to analyze if it is active and assess how much benefit you have. We do this in order to present an accurate treatment plan that would show how much copay, or patient financial responsibility, you would have for whatever treatment you wish to get.

Yes, Medicaid does cover an extraction, limited exam, and x-ray at 100%. Payment has to be made at time of service because we don’t have the staff available after hours to verify if it is active.

The breakdown for our office fee for an extraction is below
$200.00 – Emergency after hours fee
$51.00 – Xray
$135.00 – Limited exam
$455.00 – Surgical extraction
$841 – Total fee for emergency extraction after hours appointment

Yes we do! You can apply online with our third party financing company, Sunbit. We use this company because it doesn’t ding your credit when you apply online and their approval rate is the highest we have found. So even if you have bad credit we would still recommend you see if you are approved. There is no risk in trying.

We do not turn anyone away due to a busy schedule. If you are in pain, we will see you, but you may have to wait as a courtesy to our scheduled patients.
