Best dentist near GWU/Foggy Bottom/Crystal City? I just got back from Florida and my mouth is still hurting despite going to a dentist down there. Any recommendations for a dentist? Quality matters the most since I'm paying out of pocket. I’m going to try make an appointment for tomorrow if possible.

[Virginia Dental Center](https://www.virginiadentalcenter.com/). Hands down. Went to them after a bad experience elsewhere and they were very understanding, plus the office staff is FABULOUS. Office staff make or break it for me.
Emergency Dental Assistance! So, I've ignored the cavity in one of my teeth for far too long, and over the last few days the pain has intensified and I need to deal with this ASAP. I understand I should've taken care of it before it got to to this point, and am dealing with the pain/expect the work to be expensive.
Just based on what I've seen so far, I likely need x-rays, root canal, filling, the works - thankfully I have MetLife Dental Insurance. The issue I'm running into is finding a dentist who takes MetLife and would be able to help me - I've read reviews on "Kool Smiles" that say they're ill-equipped for an adult with a dental emergency, and the provider list isn't proving very helpful.
Has anyone had a "good" dental emergency experience in DC, or know of one that would take MetLife?

Can't recommend [Virginia Dental Center](https://www.virginiadentalcenter.com/) enough. I had a previous dentist fill a cavity poorly, and he damaged the root in my tooth. I was furious and went to VDC to get a second opinion. They are awesome. Everyone from the dentists to the reception staff are great. I was referred to an endodontist who was very nice and gentle, and stayed with VDC for my regular dental checkups. The office is just a few blocks from Clarendon metro. I know it's VA, but seriously, worth a little more time and they take MetLife (I have that insurance too).
Dentist recommendations? Can anyone recommend a dentist in/near Alexandria, particularly for my kids?

These guys are amazing: http://www.virginiadentalcenter.com/ I picked Dr. Schobel because he went to Pennsylvania - the best dental school in the country. Really smart and kind, and was able to fix issues that 2-3 other dentists couldn't.
All DC friends. Sam and I are needing to find a great dentist ASAP. I had a filling in one of my back molars fall out and need to get it it fixed. Any recommendations?
