Hello, my name is Dr. Hohepa. I'm a dentist.
What happens after we check in?
After check-in at an emergency dentist, someone on the team often goes over health history, medicines and allergies. They also ask where the problem is and when it started.
X-rays are often taken to show the tooth roots and the bone around them. The dentist examines the area, explains the likely cause and talks through the options. Some problems are treated during the same visit, while others get a temporary repair and a follow-up visit.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your dentist can explain what applies to your own teeth.
Thanks for watching.
