If you break an arm or get unexpectedly ill, you wouldn\u2019t think twice about calling for emergency care, but a surprising number of patients don\u2019t know what to do if they find themselves experiencing a dental emergency. Dr. Nick Cobb, Dr. Ron Evans, and Dr. Theresa Lassetter want their patients to know they are here to relieve pain, restore dental function, and put the smile back on your face. Your first step during a dental emergency should be to pick up the phone to call our caring team.
