Looking for an Emergency Dentist Near YOU?

What to do in Dental Emergency?

First tip is to not Panic and stay calm. A quick Google search of ‘emergency dentists near me’ will bring up relevant results in your area. E.g. ‘Emergency dentists in Hawkesbury or North Richmond.’ However, not all dentists are going to be the perfect fit for you. 

You might want to explore options of dentists open for extended hours, times or days in your area. For example, Riverlands offers extended hours, multiple dentists most days, open late Thursdays and most Saturdays. Good thing is at Riverlands Dental; you will find onsite facility and technology for superior diagnosis like 3D dental X-ray and Trios 3 digital Scanner. 

You may also want to get details of public hospitals that may offer to see dental emergencies outside of business hours. At Riverlands Dental, we understand emergencies come unannounced and so we offer some flexibility in our schedule and appointment booking to assist patients with pain or in need of immediate attention. Best is to call the practice at (02) 4501 7930  to check emergency appointment availability for the day.  

Always remember – Dental appointments at Riverlands Dental aim to get you some relief and out of the pain as an emergency patient. It is important to set your expectation right as an Emergency appointment is not the same as going to your dentist for a scheduled procedure. What this means is that you probably won’t get a full dental exam or a clean unless necessary. Rest assured, we can book follow up appointment/s once you are out of the pain to help you with your long-term needs.

As it’s said, ‘ One has to be seen to be sold.’ A good word of mouth is the best form of endorsement and reassurance that the dentist you wish to engage with is also credible. Start with Google reviews or social media sites like Facebook to get a feel for dentist you hope to choose. Make sure that you speak to your emergency dentist about your options, as not all practices will offer this type of service. Also, be sure to check out the website. 

A good emergency dentist will have an informative and well laid out website like at www.riverlandsdental.com.au, we aim to provide detailed outline on what to expect with our Remarkable care promise especially if you are a new patient. Save the phone number and location. Best is to locate the address through Google maps and see if parking is available close to the premises. Often, when in pain the last thing you want to do is to walk long distance or lose your way. As Riverlands Dental, is a custom built modern practice, convenient parking is available on site including disabled parking bay for special needs patients.

It is also best to check what an initial emergency appointment would cost and what to expect in terms of pricing. Is insurance accepted is the most commonly asked question in this situation at Riverlands Dental. Yes, we accept all major private insurance providers. We also work to limit costs and provide convenient payment options, such as, SuperCare and Zip Money, so you can get access to the dental care you need or want, even if you’re on a budget.
