Please remember that when you call the emergency line, you are reaching Dr. McDonald directly at home. She is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The emergency line is not answered by an answering service—it is answered personally by your doctor, wherever she may be and regardless of the time. These calls impact not only her, but her family as well.
If you are unsure whether your situation constitutes a true dental emergency, we kindly ask that you seek immediate care at the nearest emergency room.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and respectfully ask that the emergency line be used only for true dental emergencies. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
