What to do During a Dental Emergency
Cracked tooth. If you’ve cracked a tooth, it could be due from grinding your teeth, eating a hard substance or a gradual wearing down from the ageing process. No matter what the cause is, we can determine if bonding, a crown or a root canal might be the proper course of action.
Root canal. If you require a root canal, it may be due to an infection or abscess in the tooth. Having a root canal will save your tooth from having to be extracted. We’ll remove all traces of the infection, then seal off the root canal so that bacteria can’t re-enter the area. To finish your treatment, we’ll place a crown on the compromised tooth.
Wisdom teeth pain. Since wisdom teeth are the last to grow in, there may not be ample space for them to erupt. In such a case, you’ll likely experience pain as the teeth try to grow in but aren’t able to. If you have wisdom teeth pain, we’ll take X-rays so that we can see the position of your teeth and determine how best to extract them if required.
Lost and chipped teeth. If you can locate the broken tooth or fragment, gently wrap it in cling wrap and bring it with you. One of our dentists will evaluate the damage and may place a temporary filling to alleviate your pain and get you to come in later. Depending on your situation, the dentist may be able to fix it on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I handle a toothache?
You may take over-the-counter pain medication according to the instructions. Never take more pain medication than you are allowed. Also, avoid using medication to avoid coming to the dentist.
Are bleeding gums and gingivitis types of emergencies?
Typically, bleeding gums and gingivitis are not in the category of emergency unless you’re experiencing severe pain. However, if you are experiencing these conditions it is a sign that something is wrong and requires a dental evaluation.
The most common cause of bleeding gums is plaque buildup on the teeth, resulting in gum inflammation (gingivitis). You may notice that your gums bleed when you floss or brush. This is a sign that something is wrong. Your flossing or brushing technique may need improvement. We can demonstrate proper techniques.
What should I do to treat bleeding gums?
In some cases, bleeding gums can be a sign of a much more progressed periodontal disease or even decayed teeth.
Regular six-month appointments allow dentists to identify areas of gum, which may be at risk and help you to prevent problems before they occur. Floss your teeth each day to maintain gum and teeth health.
How do I treat a swollen face and dental abscess?
- Try to remove any stuck food using floss or a toothbrush.
- Take regular pain relief medication according to the instructions.
- Do not apply pain relief directly onto the gum as it may chemically burn the gum tissue.
- Apply a cold compress over the swollen area to help reduce the swelling.
