How Emergency Dental Treatment Can Help in a Crisis

Immediate Emergency Dental Treatment in Bolton, ON Area

Nothing can derail your day quite like a dental emergency. In some cases, dental emergencies come with severe pain. Here, we will answer the most common questions about dental emergencies: what they are and when you should seek emergency dental treatment from Drs. Geeta Gautham, David Ma, and Ammar Taimish at Humber Valley Dental in Bolton, Ontario.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency, and How Do I Know When I Need Immediate Care?

While some dental emergencies are painful, many don’t come with pain. If you risk losing a tooth, it’s a dental emergency. If you have any of these situations or symptoms, contact us immediately.

A toothache that interferes with daily activities.
Teeth that are knocked out.
Partially dislodged teeth.
Teeth are broken, chipped, or cracked.
You have swelling or an abscess in your jaw or gums.
Crowns or fillings are lost or damaged.
Bleeding that won’t stop after you have an injury.
Injuries to the soft tissues in your mouth.
Fever or pus in your mouth.

How Quickly Can I Be Seen for a Dental Emergency at your office?

Our dentists and the staff make emergency cases their top priority. They know that pain and trauma can’t wait, and that’s why the office has flexible scheduling options. This includes some Saturday and evening appointments. If you can’t come in right away, the staff will guide you on what to do.

What Treatments Are Available for Common Dental Emergencies at your office?

We offer a myriad of different procedures that can help when you have a dental emergency, including:

Dental fillings.
Root canals.
Dental crowns.
Periodontal care (gums).
Extracting a tooth.

What Should I Do if I Have a Knocked-Out Tooth?

If your tooth is knocked out, don’t touch the root. Instead, pick it up by the crown (the white part). Gently rinse it and try to place it back in the empty socket. If you can’t do that, store it in milk to keep it moist. Call us immediately so we can take care of it.

What Steps Can I Take to Prevent Dental Emergencies in the Future?

Good oral hygiene is the best way to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Also, visiting us every six months for checkups will help our dentists stay on top of your dental care.

What Should I Do if I Have a Dental Emergency Outside of Regular Office Hours?

Call our emergency number immediately if you have a dental emergency after the office closes or on the weekend. Until you can get in to see our dentists, use the home care methods the team recommends. These can include a cold compress for swelling and over-the-counter pain relievers as needed.
