Emergency Dentistry: Call Us When You Need Emergency Dental Care

Do you have a dental emergency in Bolton, Ontario? Welcome to Humber Valley Dental. Whether it’s a cracked tooth, excruciating toothache, or other dental emergency, Drs. Geeta Gautham, David Ma, and Ammar Taimish provide top-notch emergency dentistry. 

We understand dental emergencies are painful and can threaten oral health if left untreated. That’s why we prioritize your care—when you call us for urgent dental assistance, we ensure you don’t have to wait long. We design our flexible scheduling to accommodate emergencies, ensuring you receive timely treatment to relieve discomfort and protect your smile.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Our office treats most, if not all, dental emergencies. Our team is trained to handle all dental emergencies unless they involve broken jaws or head and neck injuries.

The most common dental emergencies in our office include:

  • Severe toothaches
  • Cracked, broken, or fractured teeth
  • Signs of tooth infections, including darkened enamel
  • A lost crown or filling
  • Damaged dentures
  • A knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  • A dislodged (luxated) tooth
  • Objects caught between teeth

It’s tempting to ignore a dental emergency and hope it will go away. Unfortunately, dental emergencies worsen over time. Sometimes, the pain may subside, but the underlying infection persists. Without treatment, the infection spreads and could cause tooth loss and life-threatening systemic infections. Don’t ignore that dental issue. Schedule an appointment today with an emergency dentist. 

How do we treat dental emergencies?

Our dedicated dental team goes above and beyond to provide swift relief during dental emergencies. We understand the urgency of these situations and offer prompt, effective care to address your needs. Our experienced professionals can handle various dental emergencies with the following treatments:

  • Dental fillings to repair cavities and minor tooth damage
  • Dental onlays and crowns for damage too pronounced for a tooth filling
  • Root canals for infected teeth
  • Periodontal care to manage gum infections
  • Dental extractions for teeth beyond saving
  • Pain medications and antibiotics

We know that when a dental emergency strikes, you need care immediately. That’s why we strive to schedule you as soon as possible and are even open on some Saturdays to accommodate urgent cases. If we can’t see you immediately, we’ll provide detailed instructions to help manage your pain and keep the situation under control until you see us.

Can I prevent dental emergencies?

No one enjoys dealing with dental emergencies, so it’s always best to prevent them when possible. While you can’t eliminate the risk entirely, you can significantly reduce it by taking several proactive steps, such as:

  • Brush and floss your teeth diligently
  • Adhere to your bi-annual dental cleanings
  • Invest in a sports mouthguard if you participate in contact or high-risk games
  • Wear a nightguard if you chronically grind your teeth
  • Avoid using your teeth for anything other than chewing food.
