WHAT IS EMERGENCY DENTISTRY?

Emergency dentistry is the treatment of urgent dental problems that cannot wait for a later scheduled appointment. It consists primarily of procedures and treatments dedicated solely to resolving urgent issues with gums and teeth.

During an emergency visit, you will be seen by our knowledgeable team. After treatment is complete, you will be given instructions for aftercare.

HOW TO RECEIVE CARE

If you need emergency treatment, please call our office at 307-363-5688. We will ask a few simple questions to determine the severity and try to get you in as quickly as possible.

If you are in intense pain, it is okay to take an over-the-counter medication to treat it. We ask that you please do not take any antibiotics you may have on-hand unless they were prescribed to do so by another physician for any other on-going medical reason.

Taking an antibiotic for an undiagnosed dental emergency can prolong the treatment and make it harder for us to treat you properly.
