When it can't wait
Dental emergencies never pick a good time. As an emergency dentist in Roy, we move quickly to ease pain, treat infection and fix what's broken.
Call (801) 985-3300 and tell us it's urgent. We offer same-day emergency visits, and the earlier in the day you call, the easier it is to get you in. We help patients from Roy, West Haven, Hooper, Riverdale, Clinton, Sunset and Ogden.
Common dental emergencies
- A bad toothache or throbbing pain
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth
- Swelling in your gums, face or jaw
- A tooth knocked loose or knocked out
- A lost filling or crown
- Pain or bleeding that won't settle down
What to do right now
Call us first so we can tell you what to do and get you in. If a tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the top, not the root, keep it moist (milk works) and call right away. Time matters.
If swelling is making it hard to breathe or swallow, or you have a high fever, go to the emergency room first. Those can be signs of a serious infection.
What happens at your visit
Dr. Hyrum or Dr. Joseph Packard will find the cause, explain it in plain language and get you comfortable. Sometimes that means a filling or a same-day crown. Sometimes it means root canal treatment to save the tooth, or a gentle tooth extraction when it can't be saved. You hear your options before we start.
Members of our dental membership plan have one emergency exam a year included.
