Expect the Unexpected: Emergency Dental Care

While visiting for a checkup should be a pretty regular and expected thing (Remember, twice a year!) I know that the greatest need for dental care can sometimes occur when you least expect it.  If you’ve chipped or knocked out a tooth, experienced a mishap with a recent prosthetic, if you’ve experienced a reaction, or any number of things that could happen that call for emergency care, you should know that my staff and I are here to help you in your moment of need.  If you need a same-day appointment, call us.  We’ll do everything we can to fit you and help you take care of an oral problem.  If you or your child needs urgent care outside of my typical office hours, I can still be reached and will do everything I can to help you keep your smile safe until I’m able to meet with you for face-to-face care.


Parents, make sure you keep the number of Lewelling Dental handy in event of emergency:  510-276-6040.  Oral and maxillofacial injuries can be common among children.  The sooner you contact me for care, the better we can avoid costly or permanent damage.


As the adage goes, “Hope for the best but prepare for the worst”, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do for my patients.


Yours in good smile health,
