It is 8pm on a Saturday night, and you have a massive toothache.  There’s not a dentist’s office open for a thousand miles, and you are in significant pain. What are your options? Will you go to the Emergency Room? That could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars, even if you have health insurance.  And, to be honest, most physicians do not know much about tooth pain. If you do not have any swelling, there is a better option than the emergency room.  Video chat with your dentist!

Dr. Coon believes in being available to his patients for dental emergencies no matter the day or hour. Modern technology makes it easier than ever to do so. Simply text or call our after-hours emergency number, (501) 500-1650, and let us know that you would like to set up an emergency consult. We will respond shortly with instructions on how to begin your video chat with Dr. Coon. The fee is $75, which is much cheaper than an ER copay.  You will get to speak with an oral care expert who can advise you on what is likely happening, options to treat it and a plan moving forward. This can save you hours sitting in an ER waiting to be seen, since many medical care providers often don’t consider toothaches to be true medical emergency, however much pain you might be in. In the ER, patients with tooth pain are usually last in line to be seen. Dr. Coon will also call in any necessary prescriptions after diagnosis of your problem. So, stay home in your PJs, save time, save money, and talk to an oral health expert about your dental emergency. Call At Ease Dental at (501) 500-1650 any time, day or night.
