Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Any dental issue causing severe pain, bleeding, swelling, or tooth loss requires immediate care.

Can I wait until my next appointment for tooth pain?

No. Waiting can lead to infection or permanent tooth loss. Always call for emergency care.

Should I go to the ER for dental pain?

If you have swelling that makes it difficult to swallow, breathe, or see. Yes, you should go to the emergency room.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

See the dentist as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. Gently rinse the tooth and place back in the socket if you can, even backwards is ok. If you can’t do that, place in milk. If you can’t do that put in your mouth between your cheek and gum.

Will insurance cover my emergency visit?

Many plans provide partial coverage. Legacy Dental also offers payment options for uninsured patients.

How long does recovery take after an emergency procedure?

Most patients feel normal within a few days, depending on the treatment type.

What if I still have pain after treatment?

Can I eat after emergency dental work?

Avoid eating on the treated side for a short period. Soft foods are recommended initially.

How can I prevent future emergencies?

Maintain good oral hygiene, wear mouthguards if you grind your teeth, and attend regular checkups.

Alternatives to Emergency Dental Care

Prevent dental emergencies through:

Routine checkups and professional cleanings

Early treatment of cavities and gum issues

Avoiding hard foods and unsafe habits

Note: If immediate care isn't possible, rinse with saltwater and use pain relievers as temporary relief until your appointment.

I have honestly only had my initial interaction with them, x rays setting up a plan, things of that nature but so far this has been the best dental experience of my lifetime. Dr. Call was incredibly helpful, explaining things in greater detail than I’ve ever seen in dental practice, he identified issues I wanted corrected before I even said anything. (he had x rays to go off of) I am very much looking forward to working with him and have already begun recommending him to friends and family. I will update as I continue my journey with them but so far couldn’t speak highly enough about them all!

I have new insurance and wasn't sure where to go. Like everyone else, I viewed ratings for the best dentist and sure enough, Salt Lakers did not disappoint. The Legacy Dental Staff is like a well run machine. Everyone is nice, professional and knows what they are doing. The office is large but its not overwhelming and everyone knows, going to the dentist can be scary. Legacy is calm and welcoming and everyone is there to make sure your comfort is number one. And of course, every person for every step of my appointment was excellent. Dr. Campbell has a very gentle manner. I wish I had found this office years ago. Thank you!

The aid was super comforting. I haven't had dental work in almost 10 years. The Dentist was nice. They let me choose what work would be done and it was super affordable for someone without insurance. I would recommend them to anyone

This was my first time visiting Legacy Dental with Dr. Jonathan Campbell office.

I had a part of my old filling come off, and they were able to schedule me for the very next day, which I truly appreciated. I arrived on time and had completed the new patient paperwork online prior to my arrival. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed into a pleasant and professional environment. The front desk gal (Heather)already knew who I was and made me feel comfortable right away. Heather at the front desk was especially welcoming and helpful.

Shortly after checking in, I was taken to the operatory by the dental assistant, Keisha. She was excellent!!, knowledgeable, very communicative, personable, and attentive to my concerns before the doctor even came in.

Dr. Jonathan Campbell then performed the examination, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous about seeing a new dentist, but all my fears disappeared. He was gentle, efficient, and incredibly professional. Hands down, he is the best dentist I have ever had in my life.

I left the office feeling great and, surprisingly, actually enjoyed the visit—something I never thought I would say about a dental appointment.

I live in EM, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get there, but it is absolutely worth the drive to be seen by Dr. Campbell and his outstanding staff. Without a doubt, this is my dentist for life.

I truly appreciate their honesty and compassion…highly recommend!

I have been going to Legacy Dental for 15 years, and they are amazing. Recently, I chipped a tooth and was messaging them on their app at 8:30 at night. They were responding and got me an appointment next day. I was able to meet Tina, who is an amazing assistant. She brought in Dr. Call to help, and they were an awesome team together. Humorous, good bedside manner, great conversationalists that made me feel at ease, and they fixed my smile. Brooke was awesome at getting me through insurance and billing, and extremely friendly. Thank you for continuing to provide exceptional service that goes way above and beyond.

Andy Larsen

I’ve had a fairly intense dental phobia for most of my life, that combined with years of addiction and severe depression really took a toll on my mouth and on my smile. Years ago I started the process of getting dentures with a different dentist and I had such a bad experience that I never wanted to set foot in another dental office again. Then last year when my remaining teeth started to fail, I reached out to Legacy Dental after seeing an add. At my first appointment Dr. H and his staff immediately put me at ease, there was no judgment and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. Throughout the entire process they were professional and they were friendly, and they took really good care of me.
Now here I am seven months later and I have my smile back, for the first time that I can remember I can smile confidently, and I can eat normally. And I owe it all to Legacy dental and the wonderful care that they provided.

Dr Campbell was recommended by my dentist in St Louis for being very good with gold restorations. I've been his patient now for 15 years and have appreciated his friendliness, clear communication, excellent dental work, and great staff. I strongly recommend him.

I really enjoyed my experience here. From the dental assistants, to the hygienist, to Dr. Campbell himself. They did a great job on my teeth cleaning/exam and I really appreciated that Dr. Campbell took the time to go over everything with me thoroughly. He also went through several options with me and explained each in detail for certain needs that I had. I have full confidence in his professional work and the care he provides. Looking forward to my next visit. 👏

Recently visited Legacy Dental with a dental emergency. The team got me in same day and the staff was both courteous and professional. The doctor quickly assessed the issue and took me through my options in detail. The staff then helped arrange a follow up meeting with a partner clinic to treat my issue before I left. Thank you so much Legacy team, a very memorable and positive experience.

If you are one of those individuals who are apprehensive about dental procedures like me, this is the best place for you because Dr. Behlke is an incredible Dentist. He replaced several of my old fillings with precision care and my teeth look beautiful. Another plus I really liked is how the office is professional and easy to find.

I went in for Wisdom tooth pain. They had a last minute cancel and I got in there, same day! Which I was extremely thankful for cuz of the intense pain I was experiencing. I was in and out of there, WITH them being able to do the extraction, and X-ray in less than an hour! They were awesome! And! It was a fraction of the cost of what other offices were charging for the procedure. Especially cuz I don’t have insurance. Amazing staff, excellent dentist! 100/100 for me.

I love Legacy! They are everything you need and more. I've needed emergency dental work on a few occasions and they have always gotten me in same day, within the hour most of the time. Every single staff including dentists have been sweet and positive, and have always made me feel comfortable. I avoided going to the dentist most of my life, I just wish I would have known about them sooner.

Compared to my previous (money hungry) dentist, this place is like a golden palace of greatness! Everyone is friendly and accommodating, and they make sure you're comfortable throughout your visit whether it's a routine cleaning or a crown replacement (I had both). I definitely recommend Legacy Dental! Thank you!
