How It All Began

It may be hard to imagine, but three decades ago, finding an emergency dentist in Bucks County, PA was virtually impossible. Finding any emergency medical service in the area was also an extreme hardship, but as more people began working outside of the normal 9-5, it became clear that they were needed.

Dr. Richard Bash

The Early Years

Dr. Bash started out in the Army, stationed in Vietnam as a helicopter radio repairman. After returning, he began a new career path earning a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences at Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture (now Delaware Valley University).

After a stint working for the government in environmental sciences he was accepted to the Temple University School of Dentistry (now the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry). Studying among younger men, but proving to be a star pupil— Dr. Bash earned his DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree in 1983 while residing in Doylestown, PA.

When Dr. Bash began practicing dentistry in the 1980s, he rented and ran a space specifically for overnight dental needs. Serving the working men and women of Bucks County, PA, he learned a great deal about the scheduling needs of his patients. In the two years he spent as an overnight dentist, his reputation grew by leaps and bounds as referral after referral walked through the door.

Within two years as a dental professional, Dr. Bash was able to open his very own 24/7 practice in a location that was his own. His decision to run an office that was able to serve patients at any time came from an experience with his son, during which he needed medical care during off-hours. His struggle to find a doctor at a late hour led him to the realization that there were many patients who were in need of an office they could turn to after-hours.

“I think I’m going to be working until they sweep me off the floor”

– Dr. Richard Bash
