That’s a pretty common question we get on a Saturday afternoon at our emergency dental clinic in San Diego. Since we are one of only a few San Diego emergency dentists that are open on the weekend, we get a lot of calls with questions and concerns.

We had a patient call us at 4:00 AM the other day with a major toothache. This guy was an MMA fighter and had been dealing with the toothache for about 7 months, so you know that it was really bad when he finally called us. After talking for a few minutes we met him [...]
