Emergencies during regular business hours:
Our staff will verify your insurance. Depending on your insurance the treatment may be covered.

Emergencies during the evening or on the weekend:
Unfortunately there will be no way to verify your insurance.
Payment is expected at the time of treatment.
We have developed a full range of convenient payment options for you to choose from.  You will then be given an insurance claim form which you will submit to your insurance company. Your insurance company will then reimburse you.

When you arrive at our office, you will be asked to fill out a Patient information sheet, a Medical history form and a Financial Policy form. Dr. Paul Szott will then do an oral examination to see which tooth is bothering you, take an x-ray, and then diagnose the source of the pain. Treatment can then begin to alleviate the pain and address the problem.

What questions will Dr. Paul Szott ask you?
How long has it hurt?
What makes it hurt?
How much does it hurt?
Have you been taking anything for the pain?

Main reasons for a toothache include:

• Decay(cavity)
• Periodontal (gum) disease
• Physical trauma.

Once diagnosed our focus now is on preserving the tooth. At one time the only treatment was to remove the tooth, but with modern technology Dr Paul Szott can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime. With a combination of training, experience, judgement and skill, Dr. Paul Szott will provide in a personal, and professional manner the highest quality gentle dental care. We look forward to seeing you here.
