Emergency Dental Services in Mississauga

What is a dental emergency?

The following are considered dental emergencies, and should be treated as soon as possible.

• Lost Fillings or Crowns

  If you have a lost or broken a dental restoration, try to locate it, and if possible, rinse it off and place it back on the tooth. Call our office as soon as you can to let us know you need an appointment.

• Broken or Chipped Teeth

  If you have broken or chipped a tooth, try to locate the missing piece, because your dentist may be able to reattach it. Regardless of whether you can find it or not, please call our office as soon as possible to get it fixed.

• Knocked Out Teeth

  If you have a knocked out tooth, try to find it, and re-insert it in the socket (be sure to remove any debris first). Bite down gently but firmly. If you cannot replace the tooth in the socket, keep it moist by holding it in your mouth, or placing it in a glass of milk, until you can get to our office.

  Visit our office as soon as possible (try to call ahead if you can). The sooner you get here after knocking out your tooth, the more likely it is that your dentist will be able to save it.

• Severe Swelling

  If you are experiencing severe swelling in your mouth, face or neck that causes difficulty swallowing or breathing, please call our office as soon as possible. We will determine the cause of the swelling and the best way to treat it.
