As your trusted provider of emergency dental care in Des Moines, our dedicated team is available to assist you in times of urgent dental needs. Dr. Fulton ensures specific office hours are set aside for patients requiring immediate attention. If a tooth is severely damaged, tooth extractions may be necessary. In cases of infection, root canals could be part of your treatment plan.
Please call our office immediately to request an emergency dental visit if you experience a severe toothache, knock out a tooth, badly damage your teeth, or find yourself in another precarious dental situation.
If you are a new patient experiencing a dental emergency, we are often able to get you in the same day to address acute dental concerns. Dr. Fulton does same-day treatment whenever possible but pending specific treatment needs, follow-up treatment may be scheduled after your emergency dental visit.
If you experience intense bleeding or your emergency extends beyond dental care, please seek immediate assistance at the nearest emergency room. For specialized emergency dental care, our dedicated team is here to provide prompt and expert treatment.

I was a patient of Dr. Todd for years. He was great. Wasn’t sure what the experience would be like with a new dentist. I shouldn’t have worried. The staff stayed the same, and Dan’s replacement was warm and welcoming. The office was a bit quieter without Dan’s booming voice, but the dentistry was solid. I would recommend it to those looking for a new dentist.
Very Friendly, fun to work with. The staff has always made us feel comfortable, the dental experience was easy and the treatment explained. No fears of going to the dentist here.
After Dr Todd retired last month I was thinking of changing to a dentist in my town and close to home. Brighter Smiles called me to schedule an appointment since I was a month past due for my 6 month cleaning. I was too busy to investigate a local dentist and schedule. I am glad I did go ahead and schedule. I love the new owner/dentist. She is super sweet and made time to do my dental work that day. She saved me from taking more time off from work and from worrying about the procedure that needed to be done. Won’t be changing dentists!
I was able to schedule an appointment one week out and staff was able to get me seated almost immediately when I arrived. Overall staff was friendly and Dr. Fulton was able to help me with a crown on a cracked tooth. I can’t say it’s always fun going to the dentist, but Bright Smiles Family Dentistry made it easy and conformable for me to get the work I needed to be done. Will be coming here for future dental needs.
