Explore care for Cultus patientsUrgent, but manageable
Know your first step when a dental problem cannot wait.
Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient moment. A cracked tooth at supper, a swollen jaw on a weekend morning or a fall in the yard can leave you unsure what to do. These pages explain first aid, warning signs and what an urgent visit usually involves, so Cultus residents can act calmly.
Urgent dental care is provided at our Port Dover office. Call first to describe what is happening; the team will judge urgency and discuss availability. Trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury need 911 or an emergency department instead.

Emergency questions from Cultus
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should I go to the hospital instead of the dentist?
Call 911 or go to an emergency department for difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding you cannot control, a suspected broken jaw or a head injury with confusion or vomiting.
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
For an adult tooth, hold it by the crown, rinse briefly if dirty and replant it or keep it in milk, then call immediately. Never replant a baby tooth. Bring any fragments with you.
Can I be seen the same day?
Same-day care depends on the schedule and how urgent the problem is. Calling early gives the best chance. If no time is available, the team will explain how to manage and when you can be seen.
