Why not urgent care or the ER?
An emergency room can give you antibiotics and something for the pain, but almost none are equipped to treat the tooth itself.
That means the problem comes back, and you have paid for a visit that did not fix it. Calling a dentist first usually means being seen sooner, paying less, and actually having it resolved.
We would always rather you rang and it turned out to be nothing urgent than sat at home wondering. There is no charge for asking.
We will tell you what to do next
-
Tell us what happened
What hurts, when it started, and how bad it is right now.
-
We advise you over the phone
Including anything that will keep you comfortable until you can get here.
-
We find you a time
We hold space open each day specifically for this.
New patients welcome too
You do not need to be an existing patient to be seen in an emergency.
We deliberately leave gaps in the schedule each day for patients in pain. Call as early in the day as you can — it gives us the best chance of fitting you in. If we genuinely cannot see you in time, we will tell you where to go instead rather than leaving you to work it out.

Outside these hours, call 502-222-2216 and follow the instructions on our message.
Where to find us
Some symptoms need more than a dentist
Call 911 or go to an emergency room if you have any of the following.
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Swelling that is spreading into the neck or closing an eye
- Fever with facial swelling
- Bleeding that will not stop after 20 minutes of firm pressure
- A head injury, loss of consciousness or a suspected broken jaw
A spreading dental infection can become serious quickly. When in doubt, be seen.
In pain right now?
