!!!Wow, my tooth hurts[=!=]  What do I do?
*Don't be afraid to first call the office at 425-334-1934.  
*Yes, we are accepting most Main/NewPatients.
*Postponing care is like not paying your taxes -- eventually it catches up to you and hurts more for each day delayed and costs more too... 
**We can frequently provide information on how to ease the pain and set you up with an appointment to deal with the problem.  
***Many times we can see you the same day, or our next clinic day.
*WhoAreWe/DrFred has been known to see established patients on weekends, holidays, even Christmas eve when it's snowing hard.

!!%center%Don't do this stuff!
*'''DO NOT miss any emergency appointment!'''
**The Clinic's policy is NOT to give prescriptions for those who miss a appointments. This behavior is frequently seen in drug abusers. 
*'''DO NOT put orajel, ambesol or other topical anesthetic gels on infected teeth!''' 
**This typically makes the pain worse in the short and long run.  
**These numbing gels seem to promote the growth of oral bacteria or fungi that are hard to treat with common antibiotics, are painful, and cause painful swelling.
**Patients who have used this stuff for a while frequently are difficult to get numb -- Ouch!
