I started my dental career in 1991 after graduating from UCSF School of Dentistry.
I built my dental practice by taking Northern Nevada dental emergencies 24/7, including holidays. What I learned from those early days is that pain does not just occur Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM. I had many years of meeting patients at my office after hours.
Now that my practice has matured and my patients have achieved stable dental health, I don’t have as many emergency visits as those early years. That being said, I just met a patient at the office at 4:00 PM last Sunday!
To this day, if one of my patients calls with an after-hours dental emergency, they will be contacted by us within a few hours to be assessed. If need be, they will be seen, as that is our commitment to our patients!
