About Dental Emergencies

When you have a dental problem that requires urgent care, Professional Dental offers same-day effective treatments across our Utah locations, from Logan to Payson. We help relieve symptoms and restore damaged teeth so that our patients can feel better quickly and get back to their lives.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

As a dental professional we would always advise that the best way to preempt any dental emergency is preventative dental care like regular dental checkups & teeth cleaning. However dental problems can occur anytime and at times the patients do not know how urgent the issue is.

Some issues that may seem like emergencies do not necessarily require urgent dental care. If you have a chipped tooth without pain or severe bleeding, you might be able to wait a few days before seeing a dentist. By all means, schedule an appointment right away, but do not worry if it is a couple of days before your dental provider can see you.

Risks of Not Treating Dental Emergencies

If you’re facing a dental emergency in Utah, getting urgent dental care is crucial for your comfort and overall dental health. Delaying treatment can lead to worsening conditions and increase the risk of tooth loss. If a front tooth is damaged, timely intervention is vital to address both cosmetic concerns and prevent complications from injury or infection. Trust Professional Dental for prompt, expert emergency dental services that protect your smile and well-being.

There is a possibility that the infection from an abscess or untreated gum disease will spread to other areas of the body.

Ignoring a dental emergency can have serious, even fatal, consequences. An untreated tooth abscess or gum disease can lead to infections spreading beyond the mouth to vital organs like the heart or brain. The pus from an abscess can travel to the jaw and surrounding teeth, causing severe complications. Between 2000 and 2009, over 60,000 patients were hospitalized due to untreated tooth abscesses, with tragic cases like a 12-year-old boy who died after the infection spread to his brain. For your safety and health, seek immediate care for any dental emergency at Professional Dental in Utah.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

Set a regular care routine

Replace your toothbrush every 3 months

Wear a mouthguard while playing sports

Do not bite hard food / Do not eat refined sugar foods

You can prevent dental emergencies in many cases. Dental abscesses and infections often develop as a result of poor oral hygiene. A poor diet can also play a role in the development of abscesses or infections.

24 Hour Emergency Dental Care In Utah

Many patients mistakenly believe that hospital emergency rooms have a dedicated dental emergency department providing 24-hour emergency dental care. In 2010 alone, over 2 million people visited the ER for a dental issue, only to find that most hospitals are not equipped to handle dental emergencies. Typically, patients receive a prescription for antibiotics and a referral to a dental office, often after enduring long wait times.

Even in major cities, most private dental practices that advertise 24/7 services are rarely open around the clock. At Professional Dental in Utah, we advise addressing any signs of a dental emergency as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital and ensure you receive the prompt, specialized care you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

More frequent questions about this dental service

How do I know if I have a dental emergency?

If you’re experiencing sudden onset pain, swelling, bleeding, or you observe pus excreting from your gums and teeth, you are likely experiencing a dental emergency. Other signs include loose, cracked, and knocked-out teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, make an appointment with a dentist right away.

What do I do in the case of a dental emergency?

Contact a dentist and get an appointment set up as soon as possible. The sooner you are able to see a dentist, the better. If you are unsure if you are experiencing an emergency, it is better to err on the side of caution and get examined by a doctor.

How can I avoid common dental emergencies?

Consistent preventive care is the best defense against dental emergencies. Dentists recommend that you brush your teeth twice a day and floss before bed. Attending routine dental appointments will also help to protect your teeth. If you play any high-contact sports, it’s in your best interest to protect your teeth by wearing a mouth guard and a helmet.

What can I do to relieve pain or swelling?

Take an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen. Avoid Aspirin because it contains ingredients that will thin your blood and thus exacerbate the situation.

What types of dental emergencies do you treat?

We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, dental abscesses, lost fillings or crowns, and injuries to the gums or soft tissues of the mouth. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, contact us for guidance.
