Dental Emergencies
In a busy practice, such as ours, true dental emergencies are frequent. These include swelling, pain, broken teeth and front teeth that show in the course of a workday. We fully understand that emergencies are disruptive for all parties involved. We ask for your patience with the scheduling of an emergency. Keep in mind that the next crisis could be yours.
Weekend emergencies are handled by Dr. Gaskins at his discretion. An on-call dentist of good reputation is used when out of town trips are necessary for Dr. Gaskins. His home number or the number of the dentist on call will be on the office recorder.
Appointments
Office Hours
Monday - Thursday from 8:00am to 5:00pm with lunch scheduled from 1:00pm- 2:00pm.
Friday appointments are frequently reserved for special cases, which require larger blocks of time and less frequent interruptions.
It is our office policy not to seat walk in patients ahead of scheduled patients. Seating walk in patients first would not be fair to those who have scheduled appointments. In order to reduce your waiting time and ensure the Dr. will be able to see you, it is recommended that you schedule your appointments in advance. Phone calls are always appreciated.
