Can I get a same-day tooth extraction in Lakewood?
In most cases, yes. Lakewood partner dentists reserve emergency slots for extractions, abscess drainage and broken teeth. If the tooth needs an oral surgeon, we refer you to one with same-day availability.
Should I go to a Lakewood hospital ER for tooth pain?
Only if you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. Hospital emergency rooms in Pierce County generally cannot pull teeth or treat the cause. An emergency dentist can.
Can you help if I am visiting Lakewood and my dentist is elsewhere?
Yes. Visitors call us often. We refer you to a Lakewood partner clinic for the urgent problem, and you can follow up with your own dentist when you get home.
Will the dentist prescribe antibiotics over the phone?
No. A dentist must examine the tooth before prescribing. What we can do is get you in front of a Lakewood dentist quickly so that treatment, including antibiotics when needed, starts today.
Is there a dentist open on weekends in Lakewood?
Yes. Several partner clinics serving Lakewood and Pierce County open on Saturdays, and a smaller number on Sundays. Call 1-855-219-4656 and we will tell you which one has the earliest slot.
