A dental emergency is a situation that requires prompt attention from a dental professional. At our office, we understand that you cannot always plan when you will need our care. If you experience a dental emergency, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. Our team will schedule you to meet with our dentist as soon as we are able so you can receive the care you need. We are happy to care for several types of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe, lasting toothaches or other types of tooth pain
- A lost dental restoration, such as a lost filling or crown
- Damage to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- A chipped or broken tooth
- A partially or fully knocked-out tooth
If you suffer from one of these conditions or another type of dental emergency, please contact our office. Our team will also be able to provide you with instructions on how to take care of your smile until you are able to come to our office to meet with us. If you have experienced trauma to the head or neck, we recommend that you visit the emergency room or your general physician before coming to us, even if your smile is also damaged. To learn more about dental emergency care, we invite you to call or visit us today.

About Emergency Dental Care
Emergency care here starts on the phone. Call 801-274-3889 and tell us what happened, how long it has been going on and how much pain you are in. That tells us how urgently you need to be seen, and we work you into the schedule as soon as we are able. Before you hang up, we can walk you through how to manage it at home until your appointment.

Benefits of Emergency Dental Care
Dental pain rarely sorts itself out. A cracked tooth keeps cracking, and an infected one keeps getting worse whether or not the ache comes and goes. Being seen early usually means a smaller repair, less time in the chair and less cost. It also means you stop guessing about what is wrong, which is often half of what makes it feel unbearable.
What to Expect
We are open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Friday morning until noon. We are closed Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Call as early in the day as you can, because the earlier we hear from you the more room there is to work you in. When you get here, say plainly how much it hurts. Dr. Cannon will get the area properly numb before he starts, and he will tell you what he is doing as he goes.

Terms You May Hear
- Abscess
- A pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum. It often brings throbbing pain, swelling or a bad taste, and it needs to be looked at rather than waited out.
- Knocked-out tooth (avulsed tooth)
- A tooth that has come completely out of its socket. Pick it up by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk, and call right away.
- Cracked or fractured tooth
- A tooth with a split or break in it. Some cracks are easy to see; others only show up as a sharp jolt when you bite down.
