Emergency Treatment

After-Hours Dental Care in West Jordan

Dental emergencies don't wait for office hours. If your child is hurting tonight or over the weekend, our after-hours line will guide you to relief.

A real answer, tonight

Call and follow the prompts for after-hours phone support.

Comfort until morning

We'll walk you through easing pain and protecting the tooth.

First in when we open

If it can wait until morning, your child is seen first thing.

What to Do After Hours

Call (801) 676-3700 and follow the prompts for after-hours phone support. We can help you calm the pain, manage a dental injury, and decide whether your child needs to be seen right away or first thing when we reopen.

Go to the ER first for:

Uncontrolled bleeding, a possible broken jaw, or facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing. Call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room, then call us for the dental follow-up.

Easing Pain Until Your Visit

A comfortable night is very doable with a few basics.

  1. 1

    Children's pain reliever

    An age-appropriate dose takes the edge off.

  2. 2

    Cold compress

    On the outside of the cheek for pain or swelling.

  3. 3

    Warm saltwater rinse

    Calms sore gums and cleans the area gently.

  4. 4

    Save any pieces

    A knocked-out tooth or fragment goes in milk and comes with you.

Why Calling Beats Waiting and Worrying

Most nighttime dental scares have a clear answer: what helps now, and when to be seen. Getting that answer from us in five minutes beats a sleepless night of guessing, and if the situation is truly urgent, we'd much rather know tonight. For visual concerns, a virtual visit may also be an option.

Who This Is For

Any family with a child's dental problem outside office hours, current patients and new ones alike. Toothaches, injuries, swelling, braces trouble: call, and we'll guide you through the night and get your child cared for as soon as possible with a same-day appointment.

A hurting kid at 9pm is stressful. A five-minute call gets you a plan, and a much better night for everyone.
