What is a Dental Emergency?
Twiss Dental wants you to contact us immediately if you are experiencing any type of pain, swelling, or urgent discomfort. While we may not be able to complete your treatment immediately, our team wants to get you out of pain and comfortable. In the event that you need a tooth extraction in order to alleviate pain, Dr. Twiss can help.
