Emergency Dentistry in North York

A dental emergency is a situation in which a person is experiencing or at risk of severe pain if treatment is not administered promptly.

First, call our dental office to explain your symptoms and ask to be seen as soon as possible. An over-the-counter medication can be taken to reduce pain if you prefer to. Avoid heat on your jaw; instead, hold an ice pack against your face at the spot of the sore tooth.

A knocked-out tooth can be saved if you visit the dentist as soon as possible. If the tooth is put back in place within 10 minutes, it has a fair chance of taking root again. The chances are poor after 2 hours.

You can manage pain with an over-the-counter medicine and an ice pack on the jaw for soreness. If there is bleeding, press down on the part of the mouth that is bleeding with a clean cloth.

Dental emergencies can be avoided through everyday habits. Try to avoid biting ice, eating hard foods quickly, and using your teeth as tools. Wearing a custom mouthguard while playing contact sports can also prevent injury.

According to the Canadian Dental Association, the most common dental emergencies are a toothache, a chipped or broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, a badly bitten lip or tongue, a lost filling, or something stuck between the teeth.

If there is bleeding, press down on the part of the mouth that is bleeding. Use a clean cloth to do this. If the bleeding does not stop, visit the hospital for help right away

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, it is important that you don’t delay treatment. Delaying visiting a dentist or hospital can lead to infection, loss of teeth, and other severe health complications. Visit our Toronto dental office for dental emergency help.
