Schedule a Dental Visit in Paxton, MA by Phone

How a Scheduling Call Runs

The first thing we ask is the reason for the visit, because chair time is booked to match the work. A routine exam and cleaning needs a shorter block than a cracked molar that may need a crown, and a young child's first checkup is paced differently again. If a tooth hurts, tell us where it sits, when the pain started and whether cold, heat or biting sets it off. That pattern points toward a likely cause, such as a filling margin that has begun to leak or root surface exposed by gum recession, so the dentist can plan your appointment before you sit down in the chair.

Payment comes up next. We accept most dental insurance plans, and if you read us the details from your card we can check your coverage. Patients without insurance can join our Office Dental Plan for patients without insurance, and anyone who prefers to pay over time can apply for the CareCredit Patient Payment Plan. Callers from Paxton, Holden, Rutland and nearby towns all go through the same short set of steps, and the call ends with an appointment on the calendar.

What to Have Ready for the Call

1. The insurance card for the person being seen, along with the subscriber's date of birth.
2. A list of current medications and any allergies, particularly to local anesthetics or latex.
3. A few notes on the sore tooth, such as which side it is on, how long it has hurt and what makes it worse.
4. The name of the dental office you saw last, so we can ask for recent X-rays instead of taking new ones.
