Why We Chose Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. is a vibrant city with a growing population and diverse community that deserves access to immediate and reliable dental care. As one of the busiest urban centers in the United States, the capital attracts people from all walks of life, including students, professionals, tourists, and government workers. With so much happening in the city, dental emergencies are inevitable. From broken teeth to excruciating toothaches, dental crises don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, which is why Priority Emergency Dental Care is stepping in to help.
According to a recent survey by the American Dental Association, dental emergency visits have surged by nearly 20% in major cities. This highlights the increasing need for specialized emergency dental services in urban areas like Washington, D.C. The decision to open our new location is based on the rising demand for accessible dental emergency solutions in a city that often struggles with long wait times and limited emergency services in traditional dental practices.
Our goal is simple: to reduce the number of people who endure dental pain while waiting for care. No matter where you are in the city or what your dental issue might be, Priority Emergency Dental Care in Washington, D.C. will provide immediate, expert solutions.
