Looking for a new dentist

GrandmaBig6 · 08-22-2013, 05:18 PM

Help! I have just started my vacation and my tooth is killing me. I think I have a cavity at the gum line. Yesterday I tried 3 dentists in the Meredith area and none would take me since I'm not a resident. None would even offer me an appointment a few days from now or even take my number if they had a cancellation.

I'm willing to pay the cash for the filing. I'm here until Labor Day and if I can't find a dentist willing to help I'll buy the temporary filling kit from the drug store and deal with it when I get home.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I don't really want to drive to Concord. Would like to stay in the Gilford, Belmont, Weirs, Moultonborough area

Thanks much.

This is my dentist in Weirs Beach. Maybe he can help. Good luck.

NH dentists almost never take walk-ins, out-of-staters, or anyone who is not a resident. It's disgusting behavior IMO. Same will happen to you in Concord I'm afraid. This is something most locals up here don't know about. Try the emergency room at LRGH. Make sure you visit LRGH when a dentist might be in like between 8am-4pm. Don't call LRGH, just show up. Otherwise you need to go home

Dr. Nova Kane... he only takes 2:30 (tooth hurtie) appointments! A little Dentist humor.

In Concord takes non residents and takes walk ins on a first come first serve basis.
