  • Call Us at Once or Use the Grin Scope App! – If you’ve sustained an orthodontic emergency, the best thing you can do is get in touch with our team. From there, we’ll be able to assess the situation over the phone and provide immediate assistance before you come in. Patients can also take a scan with Grin Scope and then text Dr. Larson the scan through the app! He will review what you send and then schedule an appointment ASAP if needed. This allows patients to wait until they have the proper information instead of rushing to the practice right away.
  • Attend Your Appointment – If necessary, we’ll let you know if you need to come to our office for same-day care. However, in many cases, the root of the issue can be addressed at your next orthodontic check-in.
  • Receive Quick and Urgent Care – We emphasize providing quick and effective treatment when it comes to orthodontic emergencies, so rest assured that once you’re here, we'll quickly get you out of pain and remedy your situation. We’ll replace broken or lost parts as needed, and if there’s an oral health issue present, we’ll be sure you know where and how to get it resolved.

That said, here are some actions you can take at home to protect your smile while you’re waiting to attend your appointment:
