Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Emergency dental care covers a wide range of urgent concerns.
Severe Tooth Pain
Persistent or sharp tooth pain can signal infection, nerve irritation, or deep decay. Ignoring pain may allow the problem to worsen. An exam and X-rays help identify the cause. In many cases, root canal treatment in London is needed to address the source of the pain and save the tooth
Broken or Cracked Teeth
Teeth can crack due to injury, biting hard foods, or accidents. Even small fractures can expose sensitive layers of the tooth. A cracked tooth treatment in London , such as a dental crown, is often recommended to protect and restore the damaged tooth
Knocked-Out Tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, timing matters. Place the tooth in milk or keep it moist and call us immediately. Quick action may increase the chance of saving it.
Swelling or Infection
Facial swelling or gum swelling may indicate infection. In some cases, infection can spread and become serious if not treated promptly.
Lost Filling or Crown
When a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth can become sensitive or painful. Emergency care can protect the area until a permanent solution is placed.
If you are unsure whether your issue qualifies as urgent dental care in London, call (519) 451-4490 for guidance.
What to Do Before You Arrive
Taking simple steps before your appointment can help manage discomfort.
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water.
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side.
- Keep any broken tooth pieces and bring them with you.
If you experience difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling affecting your airway, or major trauma, seek hospital care immediately.
Our team will provide additional instructions based on your situation when you call.
