A participating Compton-area dental office will receive your request and may reach out to schedule an appointment. Submitting is free. Any costs for actual dental services would be between you and the dental office. toothhurt.com is operated by Tooth Hurt LLC, an independent marketing service.

Tooth-people fact: Compton is home to Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, a historically Black health sciences university that grew from community advocacy following the 1965 Watts uprising to establish medical education in south Los Angeles. The city was an early stop on the Pacific Electric Railway, which made it one of the first accessible suburbs south of Los Angeles in the early twentieth century. Welcome to Compton.
