Urgent dental problems need fast decisions about where to go.
Dental emergencies include severe pain, swelling, infection, broken or knocked-out teeth and injuries to the mouth. Some need attention within hours, while others can wait a day or two with sensible precautions. This page gathers our emergency information so Brantford patients can quickly understand what they are facing and what to do next.
Our office is in Port Dover, which is a considerable drive from Brantford. We are glad to give advice by phone and see patients when travel is practical. For time-sensitive injuries, spreading swelling or severe pain, the nearest dentist or hospital may be the better first stop, and we can help with follow-up care.

Dental emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Should I drive to Port Dover for a dental emergency?
It depends on the problem. For severe swelling, a knocked-out adult tooth or uncontrolled pain, the nearest available care may be better. For less urgent issues, call our office to discuss whether an appointment is available.
When should I go to a hospital instead?
Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 for difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury. These need medical care before dental treatment.
Can you provide follow-up after I’m treated elsewhere?
Yes. If you receive initial treatment closer to home, contact our office to arrange follow-up. Bring any records, x-rays or notes from the treating provider so the dentist can plan the next steps.
