Does anybody know what to do in a dental emergency? My dentist is not responding to calls or emails. I have 2 exposed nerves as a result of untreated decay (stemming from pregnancy). I was going to get them fixed immediately post-partum but alas. everything shutdown instead. This is getting very painful. Is there anyone (an endodondist) in Oak Park that can help? At least one will need a root canal. I believe dental emergencies are essential. Still, oral surgery is high risk for Covid exposure. Advice? Referrals? Help!

I had an emergency root canal at cameo 3 weeks ago when this all started, they were fantastic. Lots of hand sanitizer; hand washing’s and mouth rinses to keep you and them safe. Good luck! I couldn’t bring my 5 year old but a neighbor came to stay with her, I sprayed Lysol like crazy all over the house before my neighbor came. My daughter mostly watched tv upstairs to keep a distance. Much harder with a little one though.

My dentist just texted me this week to let me know they are there for emergencies. Dr Wise on Oak Park Ave and Lake. In the past, they’ve referred me to Cameo Endodontics in River Forest and they were excellent.

My dad was able to get a tooth extracted a week ago. I’m not sure who he used. I’ve had good luck in the past with 1800dentist.
