BUCKHANNON — A toothache does not have to wait a week. Wilson Martino Dental’s Buckhannon office, at 19 E. Main Street downtown, says it will see a patient with a dental emergency within 24 hours of a call, and most of the time the same day.
The practice, part of a West Virginia dental group with offices in Bridgeport, Buckhannon, West Union, Elkins, Fairmont, Morgantown and Clarksburg, treats toothaches, infections, broken teeth and other urgent problems alongside routine cleanings and exams.
Emergency patients can call the Buckhannon office at 304-472-4954.
“We Cater to Cowards”
Wilson Martino has built its practice around patients who dread the dentist’s chair. Its “We Cater to Cowards” promise is more than just a motto: the dentist features the latest advancements to make the trip easier, from a DentalVibe comfort injection system, which uses gentle vibration to take the sting out of numbing, to drill-less fillings that use micro air abrasion to remove decay when a tooth qualifies.
Patients are invited to bring their own music, and children may bring a doll or stuffed animal to the appointment.
“Some patients are comfortable with dental care, while others experience a great deal of fear and anxiety,” the practice says on its website, where it lists patient comfort as its number one priority and asks patients to speak up about what would make a visit easier.
