Know what to do when a dental problem cannot wait.
Dental emergencies range from a lost filling to a knocked-out tooth or swelling that spreads across the face. Some need care within hours, while others can be protected at home until an appointment opens. The guides below explain first steps for each situation and the warning signs that call for emergency medical help instead.
If you are in Langton, phone our Port Dover office before setting out. The team can discuss urgency and current availability. If a timely visit is not possible, they will suggest seeking another urgent provider rather than leaving you waiting.

Dental emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or worsening pain, facial or gum swelling, a knocked-out or loosened adult tooth, a broken tooth with pain or bleeding and signs of infection are all reasons to call promptly. If you are unsure, call and describe your symptoms.
What if I cannot get an appointment quickly?
The team will be honest about availability. If timely care cannot be arranged here, seek another urgent dental provider. Serious warning signs such as breathing trouble or spreading swelling need emergency medical care right away.
Should I go to the hospital for a toothache?
A toothache alone is usually best handled by a dentist. Go to hospital if it comes with spreading swelling, high fever, trouble breathing or swallowing or a serious injury, as these need immediate medical attention.
