Dental emergencies can run the gamut from being unpleasant and uncomfortable to downright frightening. If you or your children have an emergency dental problem, we want to fix it as fast as possible. Call (416) 449-4487 to find out what we can do for you right away.

One of the most common emergencies we see – especially with kids – is knocked out teeth. If a permanent tooth becomes dislodged, call us immediately. The first hour is crucial for saving the tooth. What you can do at home is pick up the tooth without touching the root part, gently rinse it off, and reinsert it into the spot it came from if at all possible. If it isn’t possible, place the tooth in contact lens solution or milk and bring it to us as quickly as you can. If we get to it within that first hour, there’s a good chance we can get the tooth to reattach properly.

Another common emergency is broken teeth. Whether it’s an injury from contact sports or an unfortunate occurrence during dinner, a broken tooth often feels much worse than it is. You’ll want to keep the area clean with gentle brushing and call us so we can book you in to assess the damage and provide you with options for fixing the problem. If you experience facial swelling or pain, please tell us when you call as immediate attention is required.

If you experience facial swelling or pain even without a broken tooth, it’s important to contact us for an emergency appointment. Swelling and pain can be indicative of an abscess or infection around a tooth or in the gums, and that’s something we want to treat as soon as possible.

In the unlikely event that a crown comes off, or a veneer detaches, or you have any other tooth or gum concerns, please call us so we can provide you with the best course of action and schedule an appointment to take care of any and all issues. Maintaining healthy teeth isn’t always convenient, but we want to be there for the regular check-ups as well as any emergencies to make sure your mouth stays in top condition. Call us at (416) 449-4487 for thorough emergency care.
