Emergdent

About

Our story starts with a familiar problem: What do you do when you have a dental emergency, especially at night or on the weekend? As dentists, we hear this all the time. A patient knocks out a tooth or feels dental pain and ends up spending hours waiting in the emergency room, only to be given some painkillers and sent home. We know our patients are frustrated with this temporary “fix”. Dr. John Guido recognized this problem. As a Toronto dentist for 30 years, he experienced for himself how an after-hours emergency isn’t just a patient’s nightmare… it’s their dentist’s nightmare, too. When offices are closed, there is a shortage of high-quality dental care.
