Call (801) 676-3700 Schedule a Visit

Seen the same day

We keep room in the schedule for urgent visits, so call and we'll fit your child in.

Help after hours too

After-hours phone support and teledentistry, so you're never left guessing.

Calm, kid-first care

We get your child comfortable first, then fix the problem gently.

What counts as a dental emergency?

If your child has a knocked-out permanent tooth, severe or worsening pain, facial swelling, or heavy bleeding, call us right away. A knocked-out tooth in particular has the best chance of being saved within the first 30 to 60 minutes.

For a chipped tooth, a lost filling, a poking braces wire, or a sore that won't settle, we can usually guide you over the phone and see your child the same day. When in doubt, call. We'd rather hear from you and help you decide.

Go straight to the ER if you see:

Trouble breathing or swallowing, a possible broken jaw, or bleeding that won't stop. Call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room, then call us for the dental follow-up.
