We work in our patients. We do our best to get them in as soon as possible and take care of that. As far as my patients, we have very few emergencies. Most of the dental emergencies we have are generally a new patient. And we try and get them in, see what’s the problem. If they have an infection, you know, antibiotics and treatment for the infection and along those lines. So we do see patients and do our best to get them in as soon as possible and to alleviate the problems.
We’re not a mill. I don’t rake patients through. So I keep extra time in the schedule where I can see somebody. And if you call us first thing in the morning, normally if you wait until 4:00, that makes it a little more difficult. But if you’ll get ahold of us first thing or by lunch, we try and work people in in the afternoon.

We’ll Give You Back Your Healthy Smile Again
When you visit Dr. Hay for your dental emergency, his priority is to stop your dental pain. He’ll use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to identify the problem. You can also expect the latest technology to streamline your appointment. We use a CEREC machine to make crowns in a single visit and laser technology for comfortable gum disease treatments.
To handle your emergency, your dentist may recommend treatments, such as:
- Tooth Fillings – A cavity can often cause dental discomfort. We’ll use a composite material to restore your tooth’s health.
- Dental Crowns – If you have dental damage or a large cavity, a crown can revive your smile. We may place partial crowns if it’s possible to retain more of your natural tooth structure.
- Dental Bridge – If you knock out a tooth, we can place a dental bridge. Your bridge can be secured to implants, if you prefer. This eliminates the need to put crowns on nearby healthy teeth.
- Gum Disease Treatment – If you have a gum infection, Dr. Hay will perform gum disease treatment. This may include deep cleanings, laser treatments, or antibiotics.
- Tooth Extraction – Sometimes a tooth removal is necessary to save other healthy teeth. We’ll move forward with replacement options once your mouth has healed.
Call 270-818-8388 to meet with your emergency dentist in Paducah. We’ll see you on the same day whenever possible! For non-emergencies, you can also schedule online.

I would highly recommend Dr. Hay and his staff, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 15 years because of past bad experiences and I was a nervous wreck going to the dentist. When I walked in I was met by Alisha who is so sweet and calming, then I met Nikki and together they got me calmed down, took my X-rays and then Dr. Hay came in explained everything I needed done and what options I had, I was so happy to hear they offered sedation.
