Find out what to do first, then call.
Dental emergencies tend to fall into a few patterns: sudden pain, swelling from infection, damage from an accident and restorations that fail. Each has its own first steps. These pages explain what to do in the moment and which warning signs mean you should go to a hospital instead of a dental office.
From Jarvis, a phone call to our Port Dover office is the best way to start. The team can help judge urgency, suggest how to manage until you are seen and confirm availability before you set out.
