Urgent Care

If you are experiencing discomfort or feel you need immediate care, call the School's Urgent Care Clinic at (206) 543-5850. Urgent Care service is open to everyone for a modest fee. Service is limited to Urgent Care; follow-up care may be required at a later time. The Urgent Care Clinic is in room B-229 and is open weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm.

After 5 pm on weekdays and on weekends and holidays, the General Practice Dental Residents are available through the University of Washington Medical Center's Emergency Department to handle all emergent dental matters (trauma, bleeding, infections). Care rendered will be dependent upon assessed needs. Due to high volumes of patients seen, prospective users of this service are encouraged to first contact their dentist of record unless the problem is of a truly emergent nature.

As an alternative for a referral to emergency care services, contact the Seattle/King County Dental Society at (206) 443-7607 on weekdays during normal business hours.
