Detailed Introduction

The OSU Dental Emergency Care Clinic, a part of the Ohio State Dental Center, is a dedicated facility for urgent dental needs located at Postle Hall, 305 W 12th Ave, Columbus, OH 43210. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis for patients who do not have a referral, focusing on immediate relief for conditions such as moderate-to-severe dental pain not alleviated by medication, oral bleeding, and facial/oral swelling. The clinic is unique in its operational model, where dental care is provided by third- and fourth-year dental students. These students work under the direct supervision of licensed faculty dentists, ensuring a high standard of care while offering a valuable learning experience. Services commonly provided include tooth extractions and root canals. It's important to note that the clinic does not typically offer services like fillings, crowns, denture repairs, cleanings, or general wisdom teeth extractions. Patients requiring these services are usually directed to other college clinics within the Ohio State Dental Center. IV-sedation is also not available as a walk-in treatment option. The clinic has specific patient limits per day (e.g., 15 patients Monday-Thursday, 10 on Friday), and it is recommended to call ahead (614) 688-3763 to check if the daily limit has been met before traveling. The estimated cost for treatment typically ranges from $231 to $450, depending on the services performed, though fees are subject to change. For patients under 18, emergency dental care is typically directed to Nationwide Children's Hospital Dental Clinic. If the dental clinics are closed and a patient is experiencing severe dental emergencies involving facial/neck swelling or breathing difficulties, they are advised to go to the Emergency Department at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. The clinic accepts various payment methods, and further information on insurance and payment options can be found on their website: https://dentistry.osu.edu/dental-emergency-care-clinic.

Really appreciative of everyone here. Just went in for some pain to see what could be done and immediately helped take care of the problem. everyone was very nice and was very up front with all of the information. Nobody was pushy and just expressed concern for the patients well being more than anything, and let us decide what we were comfortable with. Very grateful to them for the work.

Even though the blonde lady at the front desk is somewhat rude, I avoided the problem by giving my turn to someone else, but the students and the doctors are the best. I don't remember the name of the student who attended to me at the beginning, she was the most kind, empathetic and professional, as well as the doctor who was with her.

I'm sorry I don't have her name in mind, but it was my best experience in terms of medical services that I have received so far and this despite the fact that she was a student. What kind of professional will she be when she is already a doctor? Front desk 3 star by the short-haired African-American lady, who was not the nicest, but was very professional

Never ever go there. Stupid people at the desk. Make you come back at the end of the line after filling damn sheet. They just want to kill 1 hr. I went there at 6:30 in the morning. The desk opened at 7:30 for registration. I have to wait until 8:40 to come in to pick me up. There is no one for supervision on those students who get you. At 10:30, he took me to the upper portion for extraction.

Before that, ukh other stuff. He made my hopes high to preserve my teeth. No supervisor came in even though I asked for one. I have to leave without extraction b/c he didn't know how long it will take for single extraction. Poor thing on top of that, I have to pay $7 for parking even lady at windows gave me $6 off. I left early, so the parking fee was $7. It will go up every half hour.

Was eight in line today and they sent me home with an impacted wisdom tooth with zero meds after walking me up for surgery saying all the spots have filled up, told me to call my dentist and see if he can get me in anywhere else, because (as I learned from complaining to an administrator) they have meeting scheduled for later today. So much for the hypocritical oath, huh? OSU Students are always great to engage with, but I OSU med is getting worse and worse interns of customer care and they do not GAF about pain management. I paid $181 today to waste 4 hours of my time in pain, an Xray, and to have to start all over again.

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY evidently doesn't have the time or energy to take a wisdom tooth out for a patient in pain. What a joke.
