Dental - Callen-Lorde

Dental

Currently, we are not accepting new dental patients due to high demand and long appointment wait times.

We are continuing to see existing patients for routine care. This includes anyone who has had an initial or recall visit within the last three years. This does not include anyone we have seen for only urgent care visits. 

We are also seeing patients with urgent needs, including: 

  • Severe pain that over-the-counter pain medication does not help
  • Swelling
  • Fever higher than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Pus or foul-smelling discharge
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing
  • Recent trauma to the face or mouth

New patients seen for urgent evaluations will not receive a full exam and cleaning until we reopen for new patients.

We are planning to expand our dental capacity soon. If you have questions, please call our Dental Department at 212-271-7152. Thank you for your patience.
