Dental emergency - great provider!
Hopefully you will never need dental work on a Maui vacation, but just in case: I was en route to Maui when a temporary bridge placed by my home dentist broke. The morning after arriving I contacted 4 dentists, the first three being listed as “emergency” dentists, and they had no appointments until the next week. The last call was to Kahului Dental, and after explaining my situation, the receptionist asked how soon I could get there. A half hour later I walked into the office and didn’t even sit down before i was shown to a dental chair. I explained what happened to Dr Baxter, and 45 minutes later I walked out with a new temporary bridge. Highly recommend!
Dental emergencies on vacation can be stressful, but having a reliable provider makes all the difference. One visitor to Maui shared their experience after a temporary dental bridge broke just before arrival on the island.
After contacting multiple “emergency” dentists with no availability for several days, the visitor reached out to Kahului Dental. The office was highly responsive, asking how soon they could arrive and fitting them in immediately.
Key details of the experience:
- Quick Response: The receptionist arranged an appointment within a half-hour of the call.
- Efficient Treatment: The patient was shown directly to a dental chair without waiting, explained the situation to Dr. Baxter, and received a new temporary bridge in about 45 minutes.
- Professional and Friendly Staff: The experience was seamless and reassuring, making a stressful situation manageable.
Additional considerations for dental emergencies in Maui:
- Contact multiple providers in advance: Know which offices offer same-day or emergency appointments.
- Have your dental records handy: If possible, carry information about your recent dental work.
- Travel insurance or vacation coverage: Consider coverage for unexpected dental emergencies.
Overall, Kahului Dental and Dr. Baxter came highly recommended for quick, professional, and effective dental care, demonstrating the importance of knowing reliable providers while traveling.
