Tooth pain doesn’t wait & neither should you.
If you’re dealing with a chipped tooth, sudden pain, or any kind of dental emergency, our team at Roy Dental Care is here to help. Dr. Reggie Whitaker provides prompt, compassionate care to patients in Roy, Riverdale, and West Haven, Utah, so you can get out of pain and back to your life.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it’s obvious because a tooth breaks or gets knocked out. Other times, it’s a dull ache that turns into sharp pain overnight. If you’re not sure if you need to be seen, give us a call. We’ll help you figure it out.
Here are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat:
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Sudden or throbbing tooth pain
- Swelling or signs of infection
- Loose or knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
- Severe gum or jaw pain
- Infected teeth requiring emergency extractions
- Urgent tooth repair after an accident or injury
Whether you bit into something hard, took a spill, or woke up with a toothache that won’t quit, we’re here for you.
Dealing With Tooth Pain?
Tooth pain is no joke and can come on fast. From mild sensitivity to full-blown throbbing pain, it’s your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. Maybe it’s a cavity, an infection, or a cracked tooth you didn’t even know you had. We’ll take a look, get to the root of the issue, and give you relief as quickly as possible.
Cracked or Chipped a Tooth?
Whether it happened while playing sports, eating something crunchy, or during an accident, a chipped or cracked tooth can lead to bigger problems if not treated quickly. Small cracks can let bacteria in, leading to pain and infection. The good news? We can usually provide same-day tooth repair and get your smile back on track with natural-looking results.
Emergency Tooth Extractions
We always aim to save your natural teeth whenever possible. But sometimes, removing a tooth is the best way to stop the pain and prevent further complications. If you need an emergency extraction, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and understand your options for replacing the tooth down the road. We’ll walk you through every step!

What To Do in a Dental Emergency
Not sure what to do before you get to the office? Here are a few tips:
- Toothache or swelling? Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
- Chipped or broken tooth? Try to save any pieces and avoid chewing on that side.
- Knocked-out tooth? Gently rinse it and try placing it back in the socket. If not, keep it in milk and call us right away.
- Bleeding or swelling? Apply a cold compress to reduce discomfort and come in as soon as you can.
