For a serious medical emergency, most people know to call 9-1-1. But do you know what to do when a dental emergency happens? That too requires a phone call—to Dr. Nelson Howard at either of his two conveniently located offices in San Marcos and Rancho Bernardo. When you call, one of our front office staff members will be able to advise you how to handle your emergency until we can see you in the office, whether it is the same day for those emergencies that can't wait or at a time more convenient for you and your concern.
Dr. Howard's first piece of advice is cliché, but true: don't panic. Then call Dr. Howard's office for further assistance. Should you call be after our normal business hours listen to Dr. Howard's answering message to get his after-hours contact number to call him with your emergency. He is always available to speak with you and advise you appropriately regarding your situation.
We welcome all patients who live in the surroundings counties and cities of San Marcos, San Elijo Hills, Vista, Carlsbad/La Costa, Escondido, Oceanside, Encinitas, Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, San Diego, and Temecula areas. Please contact us today for any dental emergency.
