When I lived in southern California 15 years ago, I used the services of USC dental shhool for lower cost dental work. Now I'm looking for something similar perhaps near Sacramento, CA or Reno, NV. I can't find anything. I can't even find emergency dental help over the weekend or during night hours in the Reno/Sparks (Northern Nevada) area.

I desperately need a tooth filled, wisdom teeth pulled, and teeth and gum cleaning but I also have to work M-F 8 to 5. When I'm in pain they just prescribe a lot of painkillers and put me on a two week waiting list. Calling 1-800-DENTIST on a weekend or holiday just gives circular recorded messages saying technical difficuties call back later or visit our website. Does anyone know a better way???
