From Slayton, our office is about 25 miles north and east: up US 59, then east on US 14 into Tracy. Plan on 30 to 40 minutes. Call (507) 555-0142 before you leave and we'll hold a same-day appointment at 212 3rd St Ste 4, timed for your drive. We don't take walk-ins.
The $539.47 figure is an estimated maximum, not a fixed fee. It covers a limited emergency exam, one dental X-ray and a CBCT (3D) scan if the dentist needs one. Your actual charge depends on the imaging you need, and a CBCT scan is not always necessary. Treatment is charged separately and explained before any work starts.

How far is our office from Slayton?
About 25 road miles from Slayton, the Murray County seat. In good weather that's 30 to 40 minutes on US 59 and US 14. After a storm, check 511mn.org before you go, and leave extra time.
Same-day emergency dental care for Slayton patients
We keep same-day emergency appointments open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Because the drive is longer, tell us when you call how soon you can get here and we'll set the time to fit.
One of our dentists examines the tooth and takes an X-ray. A 3D CBCT scan is taken in our office when the dentist needs a closer look. You hear what's wrong and what treatment costs before anything starts, and most emergencies are treated that same visit, so the drive is worth it.
What to do about a weekend or evening toothache in Slayton
The office is closed Friday through Sunday and after 4:00 PM on weekdays. Call (507) 555-0142 anyway. A live answering service takes your details and holds our first opening for you.
For swelling spreading toward the eye or down the neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that won't stop, go to the emergency department at Murray County Medical Center in Slayton. Hospitals treat spreading infection and injuries but generally don't fix the tooth itself. Call us once you've been seen.

Frequently asked questions
Is it worth driving from Slayton?
When your tooth needs care today and you can't get a same-day visit closer to home, yes. Most emergencies are diagnosed and treated in a single visit here.
Can you see me the same day if I call in the afternoon?
It depends on the time. Call (507) 555-0142 as early as you can. If there isn't enough time to get here before 4:00 PM, we'll hold the first opening the next office morning.
What if I can't afford the visit?
Ask about financing through Cherry, Sunbit, Proceed Finance or CareCredit, and about our in-house savings plan. We explain the cost before any treatment so you can decide.
