Toothache on the border is a walk, not a price list

Before you cross

1. Call the clinic. Walk-in is common; “seen in an hour” is not a blog promise.
2. WHTI to come back: passport or passport card. A regular license is not enough.
3. Meds list. Any piece of the tooth or crown you still have.
4. Rinse; cold pack if swelling; OTC pain meds only if you already use them. Do not put aspirin on the gum.

What “emergency” usually is

• Toothache / abscess → exam, x-ray, then root canal or extraction. The chair decides.
• Broken / chipped → bonding, temp, or a crown later — not All-on-4.
• Lost filling or crown → recement or remake after they see it.
• Knocked-out tooth → milk or saliva, get there fast. Replant is a maybe.

We will not paste aggregator tables. An All-on-4 banner does not belong on a toothache post.
