Hello, Utah County. I’m Dr. Jon Jenson, a local endodontist. My practice, Cascade Endodontics, serves the Provo, Orem, and surrounding areas with superior emergency dental care, root canal therapy, toothache relief, and endodontic services.
We take root canals pretty seriously around here. While a root canal is sometimes the necessary treatment to save a tooth, we ascribe to the old adage – “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We hope that our patients pay close attention to their oral health to avoid injury or infection.
At Cascade Endodontics, we treat all kinds of dental emergencies. One of these that we sometimes see is avulsed teeth. A tooth avulsion is probably something you aren’t familiar with – until it happens to you.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jon Jenson. Here at Cascade Endodontics in Orem, I see a lot of dental emergencies, tooth pain, and gum disease. I am happy to be able to help my patients leave my office with their pain alleviated and their mouths healthier.
Pain can be your body’s way of telling you something’s wrong! And if you’ve ever felt the sharp pain or the dull throbbing of a toothache, you know that tooth pain can be hard to ignore. But if you search the Utah Valley area and get 100 toothache sufferers together, you might get 100 different stories about how, where, and even when the pain starts.
Knocked Out Tooth: Gently handle the tooth by the crown being carful to not disrupt the root of the missing tooth. If possible rinse tooth and put back in place. Never force to tooth into place. You may also hold in your mouth until you reach your dentist. If this is not possible place tooth in a cup of milk or water with a pinch of table salt. Saving a knocked out tooth has the highest chance if seen within 1 hour so act quickly but be careful to handle to tooth properly.
