Who likes going to the dentist? I didn’t see many hands going up! Well, modern dentistry has gained the dentist a better following of patients who aren’t stricken with fear as they sit down in the chair. Technology has made dental procedures more comfortable and not quite so painful as some of us older folks remember as children visiting the dentist’s office. Nonetheless, the need for emergency dentistry is bound to pop up sooner or later. Kids can fall off their bike and crack a tooth. An old filling comes out and you’ve got an exposed root that you feel immediately, to your great distress. You want to be prepared to deal with a tooth that’s screaming for relief at midnight, when the dentist’s office is closed.
