The adult emergency care clinic can only accept a limited number of patients due to the number of students available to provide service.

The purpose of the appointment is to provide temporary relief of pain until a regular appointment and follow-up care can be provided.

The adult emergency care clinic DOES NOT provide fillings/crowns, dentures, cleanings, root canals, or wisdom teeth (third molar) extractions. Treatment in the adult emergency care clinic does not admit you to the Comprehensive Care Program. If you have dental needs other that temporary relief of pain, you will need to schedule a new patient admitting screening appointment at 216.368.8730.
