When something goes wrong, start with a phone call.
Dental emergencies rarely announce themselves. A cracked molar at dinner, swelling that builds overnight or a fall that loosens a front tooth can leave you unsure what to do next. These pages explain common urgent problems, what you can do safely at home and how quickly each situation should be assessed.
Our office is in Port Dover, so Forestville residents should call before setting out. Describing your symptoms helps the team judge urgency, give advice for the trip and discuss current appointment availability. Some situations need a hospital first.

Dental emergency questions from Forestville
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Should I go straight to the office without calling?
Please call first. The team can assess urgency, explain what to do in the meantime and let you know when you can be seen. That helps avoid a wasted trip if the schedule or your symptoms call for a different plan.
When is the hospital the better choice?
Go to an emergency department or call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury. Those situations need immediate medical care before any dental treatment.
