Emergency Dental Services
Patients often aren’t sure whether the situation they’re experiencing is a dental emergency. They are unsure whether or not they should call their dentist or seek emergency care elsewhere. At Western Smiles Dental Care, we invite you to call our clinic if you’re experiencing such a situation.
Our knowledgeable team of dental professionals will provide you with advice over the phone to help you decide if you need an emergency dental appointment.
Common Dental Emergencies
Common dental emergencies that necessitate a call to the emergency dentist include:
- Severe toothache
- Facial or gum swelling
- Tooth discolouration
- Broken tooth
- Knocked-out tooth
- Damaged dental restorations, like crowns or fillings
- Tooth infection
If you’re experiencing any of the above, we generally recommend emergency dental care.
Some dental emergencies, like a knocked-out tooth, are time-sensitive and need urgent attention. If a patient retrieves their knocked-out tooth and carefully preserves the tooth’s root by keeping it either in their mouth or in a container of saliva or milk, the dentist might have the ability to reimplant the tooth in the patient’s gum shortly after the incident. However, if too much time passes, successful reimplantation of a tooth becomes much more unlikely.
