Emergency Dentistry

Description

If you need a dentist now, call the practice of Dr. Timothy M. Kelly. Our Albuquerque office welcomes emergency patients, and we’ll do everything we can to get you in on the same day you call. From lost crowns to toothaches and root canal therapy, we’re here to help when you need it.

One of the things we pride ourselves on is taking care of patients in pain because no one wants to be in pain. This could be an existing patient who broke a tooth or has a toothache and needs a root canal, or it could be a new patient seeking relief from their discomfort. Our philosophy is to get patients in the same day. We encourage them to call by 10:00 AM, and we’ll fit them in because they can't wait. We don’t delay and say, "I can see you in two weeks." For emergency care, we perform an evaluation, X-ray the tooth, and determine if we need to provide immediate relief, prescribe medications, or refer the patient to a specialist. We always aim to address emergency cases the day they call. It’s interesting that we often get calls before long weekends or when someone is about to travel, as they want to ensure they’re comfortable before they leave.
