After-Hours Care

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.

All Dental Emergencies

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.

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.

Easing Pain Until Your Visit

A comfortable night is very doable with a few basics.

1

Children's pain reliever

An age-appropriate dose takes the edge off.

2

Cold compress

On the outside of the cheek for pain or swelling.

3

Warm saltwater rinse

Calms sore gums and cleans the area gently.

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.

Common questions

Can I reach someone outside office hours?

Yes. Call (801) 676-3700 and follow the prompts for after-hours phone support so we can guide you and arrange care as soon as possible.

Should I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

Go to the ER for uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a suspected broken jaw. For tooth and gum problems, call us and we'll see your child quickly.

Will my child be seen the next morning?

We reserve time for emergencies, so a child who called overnight is a priority when we open. We'll set it up during your call.
