College Area · Symptom guide
A broken tooth is common among the College Area / SDSU crowd — a fall, a sports collision, biting down on something hard. We are 10–15 minutes west on University Ave, we offer 10% off self-pay with a valid student ID, and we will assess same-day whether the break needs a simple bonding repair or something more. Bring the broken piece if you have it.
