I once broke my tooth while traveling in NYC. I pulled up Yelp and just started calling down the list until I found someone who was open past five. Ended up getting an appointment for 7pm. Paid cash because he didn't take my insurance, but basically he won my business simply because he was open late.

Was the doctor able to tell over the phone you lost a tooth?

Haha no. I broke my front tooth only 1/2 way. I was talking normally. In fact, I wasn't even going to see a dentist that night, as I had dinner plans, but my wife insisted I fix it that night. Ended up making dinner anyway since people eat really late in NYC.
