Same-Day Emergency Dental Care in Aldershot

When you’re in pain, our first goal is to ease it. At your visit we will:

  1. Assess the problem and take X-rays if needed

  2. Relieve your pain and treat any infection

  3. Stabilize or repair the damaged tooth

  4. Explain your options and costs before treatment, and plan any follow-up care

Dental Emergencies We Treat

  • Severe Toothache

    Ongoing or throbbing pain usually means decay, infection or an injured nerve. The sooner we find the cause, the more likely we can treat it with a simpler procedure.

  • Broken, Chipped or Cracked Teeth

    Even a small crack can spread and expose the nerve. We repair or protect the tooth to stop the pain and prevent further damage.

  • Dental Abscess, Infection and Swelling

    A pimple-like bump on the gum, a bad taste, fever or facial swelling can signal an abscess. We treat the source of the infection, which may involve drainage, a root canal or an extraction.

  • Knocked-Out Teeth

    Call us right away. The first 30 to 60 minutes matter most.

  • Lost Fillings, Crowns or Bridges

    An exposed tooth is often sensitive and can break down quickly. We can re-cement or replace the restoration or place a temporary one.

  • Sports and Accident Injuries

    We assess teeth, gums, lips and jaw after a fall, hit or collision, and refer you onward if you need more specialized care.

What To Do Until You Reach Us

  • Toothache:Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to remove trapped food, and use a cold compress on your cheek. Don’t put aspirin on the gum, as it can burn the tissue.

  • Knocked-out adult tooth:Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it briefly with milk or saline, without scrubbing. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite gently on gauze. Otherwise keep it in milk and come in immediately. Do not try to reinsert a baby tooth.

  • Broken tooth:Rinse your mouth, save any fragments in milk or a clean container, and apply a cold compress.

  • Swelling or infection:Call us right away. Go to the nearest emergency room if swelling spreads to your eye, neck or throat, or if you have trouble breathing or swallowing or have a fever.

  • Bleeding that won’t stop:Apply firm pressure with clean gauze for 15 minutes. If it continues, go to the ER.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?

Severe or persistent tooth pain, a knocked-out or loose adult tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, facial swelling, a gum abscess, or bleeding that won’t stop. If you aren’t sure, call us and we’ll help you decide.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

We reserve time for urgent cases and see emergency patients the same day whenever our schedule allows. Call as early as you can, and we’ll give you the earliest available time.

Can I be seen if I’m not a current patient?

Yes. New patients are welcome for emergency care, and you can become a regular patient afterward if you’d like.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Hold it by the crown, rinse it gently, and place it back in the socket if you can. If not, keep it in milk. Call us right away, because teeth reimplanted within about an hour have the best chance of surviving.

Is a swollen face or gum abscess serious?

It can be. An untreated infection can spread. Call us promptly and go to the ER if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling around the eye or neck, or a fever.

How much does emergency dental care cost?

It depends on the treatment you need. We’ll examine you first, explain your options and fees, and provide an estimate before treating you.

Do I need treatment for a small crack?

Usually, yes. Cracks tend to grow and can reach the nerve, so it’s best to have the tooth checked even if it only hurts occasionally.

Which areas do you serve?

We’re at 34 Plains Rd E in Aldershot and welcome patients from Burlington, LaSalle, Bayview, Waterdown and Hamilton.
