 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first met Dr. Cummings, I knew I was in the right place. He was done to earth, unpretentious, and % professional. The man loves his work and it shows. This is an art form and he is truly committed to a great outcome. I am the  very happy with the outcome and relationship of Dentist / Patient I now have. I have absolute confidence in him and his staff. I actually look forward to the next visit, despite the 1 1/2 hour minimum travel from RI.
This was not an inexpensive undertaking and he was worth every penny.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am thrilled at the results from the work that Dr Cummings did for me.  I used to hide my smile and now I flash my new smile at every chance I get!  I was limited in the foods I could eat, now I eat whatever I want.  The entire staff made me comfortable from start to finish.  I highly recommend Dr. Jeff Cummings!  My new smile and the ability to eat all foods has greatly improved the quality of my life.  My only regret is not doing this sooner!

I’ve always had anxiety around dental work, but they were incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the process.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

In a dental emergency, time is of the essence! It’s important to act quickly to minimize damage to the tooth or teeth.

Here are some tips to help you manage a dental emergency before you can get to your emergency dentist:

Broken Tooth or Teeth: Using warm water, gently rinse your mouth. Save any broken pieces of tooth you can find, and bring them to your emergency dentist.

Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Try to remove any small food particles or other debris that may be stuck around the tooth using dental floss. If the pain doesn’t go away, call Dr. Cummings, your emergency dentist, immediately.

In a dental emergency, it’s important to seek immediate care from an emergency dentist like Dr. Cummings. Delaying treatment can result in further dental damage and can increase your risk of developing serious oral health problems down the road.
