To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see regular patients until at least Monday, April 20th, 2020.

If you do have a dental emergency, we are here and will be here and happy to help you. Please call us and we’ll get you in ASAP.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 256-274-8680.

Sincerely,

Charles F. Betts
Charles F. Betts, Jr., D.M.D. Family Dentistry

Reach Our Decatur Emergency Dentist Quickly

Get Help For Common Emergencies

Here is how we handle a few common dental emergencies that can cause your mouth pain:

  • Toothache – A toothache can signal several problems, including a cavity or an infected tooth. Depending on the size of a cavity, Dr. Betts will clean the tooth and place a tooth filling or a dental crown to repair the cavity and prevent further damage. If decay has gotten into the center of your tooth and become infected, a root canal may be necessary to relieve your oral pain.
  • Cracked or Broken Tooth – A dental crown is the usual fix for a broken tooth.
  • Chipped Tooth – Depending on the severity of the chip, Dr. Betts can cover it with a dental veneer or a dental crown.

Don’t panic when you have dental pain in Decatur. Call the experts at 256-274-8680 now!
