New patients and families welcome. Six things we do, all on one page.
If it hurts tonight
Most toothaches can wait for an appointment. A few can't. Here's how to tell the difference, and what to do while you wait for the office to open.
Warm salt water, rinsed gently. A cold pack on the outside of the cheek if there's swelling. Nothing hot against a sore tooth.
Over-the-counter pain relief, following the label. Don't hold an aspirin against the gum — it burns the tissue.
Swelling that spreads toward the eye or jaw, a fever, or trouble swallowing is not a wait-until-morning thing.
A crown that came off, a piece of tooth, a tooth that was knocked out — keep it and bring it with you. Milk is a good place to keep a tooth on the way.
Daylight
A cleaning on a Tuesday, a small filling caught early, a kid's first check-up. Unhurried, explained as we go, and nothing happens in your mouth before you know why.
Emergency visits are part of the practice too — so if something hurts, start with the four steps above and tell us in the form.
Twice a year, or whenever it's been a while. We start from today, not from the gap.
Small ones caught early are the easiest visits we do. Most are done in a single sitting.
For teeth that cracked or wore down. You'll see what's happening and why before anything starts.
We'll tell you plainly what it will shift and what it won't.
First visits, check-ups, and a chair that isn't scary. We'd rather they leave bored than frightened.
When it can't wait, start with the four steps above, then send the form. Say what's going on.
Not sure which one you need? Describe it in the form — that's enough for us to point you the right way.

What to expect
You'll get the plain version of what we see, what matters now, and what can wait. Nothing happens in your mouth before you know why.
You'll get a heads-up on what's coming and what it involves before anything begins.
Short visits, small steps, and no rushing a child who needs a minute to settle in.
If there's a list, we'll say what's urgent and what can honestly wait until next year.
No jargon. If we're watching something, we'll say why and when we'll look again.
Book ahead
A cleaning, a crown, a first visit for a kid, a tooth that's been aching — leave a note and we'll come back with a time that works.
If it hurts right now, the four steps above are the faster path. Say so in your note and we'll treat it that way.
