Preventive Care

Emergency Room for Dental

Managing dental emergencies in hospital emergency rooms (ERs) is not cost effective. Yet, many people use ERs for dental services. Often, these people do not receive proper follow up care, resulting in even greater complications and expenses. DentaQuest's Emergency Room for Dental Program follows up with members who recently used an ER for dental care and refers them to dentists for restorative and preventative treatment. The results of this program are significant. One DentaQuest client experienced a 26% decrease in dental ER use after implementing this program. This reduction translated into thousands of saved dollars.
