It's a good idea to contact your emergency dentist in Fishers first during a tooth emergency. This is because hospitals are generally not equipped to handle dental emergencies, and they are likely to send you back to your dentist. This may waste precious time that could've meant the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
Our team is trained to assess dental emergencies over the phone, so we can determine if your needs are immediate, require a future appointment, or should be directed to a hospital emergency room. Our dentists can handle most types of dental emergencies here at our Fishers dental office.
