Does anyone know any dentists who are open and who are good? My teeth have been hurting for about a week. They seem to hurt in the front, but in the past it was a tooth in back, when this happened. My dentist called to cancel and said they had to close until April. I can't tell if I have a cavity, something else, or sensitivity. If it is a cavity, I don't want it to progress.

Don't know if they are open, but a good friend of mine is a dentist in Baytown. Dr. Kristina Fann - she is awesome.

Dr. Childers is open on Fry and Kingsland if you're close to Katy. She does good work and very nice office staff.

Had my toofers cleaned at Dr. Wayne Newell last week.

What side of town? A friend of mine owns a practice up in Spring. They are open and would recommend. Good luck!

Thank you so much. My mom's friend recommended someone in Missouri City. I am on the west side. Normally, I would just wait, but I don't want this to progress and have to pay even more, or turn into an infection. I will be a new patient at this place, so it come our cheaper.

Call a few and explain what's going on. Most are closed for normal visits but still seeing patients for urgent and emergency situations. If you have any trouble finding one, there's a thread on the coronavirus board. lazuras_dc is a friend of mine, but in South Texas, though he may be able to assist.

Dr V at healthy smiles just behind memorial city mall is great.

Went there yesterday and they will still operating and probably still are unless there is a mandatory closure.

My dentist said they had to close, so I don't know if it is a Houston thing, or what.

David Silberman in Bellaire. Full service dentist that includes orthodontia. My daughter has an ortho follow up tomorrow so we called today to see if they are still open. The office said they are open, but are seeing limited patients. They may only be seeing patients that had a standing appointment, but it may be worth it for you to call and see what they say.

My dentist sent this out:

• We will have disinfected all high touch points throughout the day.

As COVID-19 information is updated, we will change any of our procedures accordingly.

Seeing as one of the biggest things is don't touch your face the last place I would go is the dentist.

Kinda creeps me out just thinking about it.

Thanks ! I have an appointment for Thursday, unless this one calls and cancels. Then I will try one of your recommendations.

I know, right. Hahaha. It does not hurt that bad yet. Just don't want it to become that bad, or become an infection.

I just saw that KPRC is going to report on dentist appointments tomorrow morning, because a lot of people have asked about it.

Cousin works for a dental company. She and a crap ton of coworkers were placed on 'indefinite' unpaid leave this morning with no notice. Just BAM.

That is too bad.
