I have not medical insurance and i want to know if this services are provided in the hospitals and if them are cheaper than in a regular dentistry
--------------------
I can only speak for my area by relating to you what our patients tell us. Most emergency rooms do not have a dentist on staff. The physician at the emergency room can not pull tooth or prescribe treatment. They can, however, write a prescription for antibiotics which are very important when it comes to managing toothache pain caused by infection. They can also write a prescription for pain medicine to help ease your pain until you can see a dentist. The ER visit is much more expensive than a visit to a general dentist and not the best choice if there are other options available. However, if you wake up Saturday morning in horrible pain, it may be a good temporary solution. Best wishes!
