Urgent dental problems need a quick, clear plan.
A cracked tooth on a summer weekend, a swollen cheek in the off-season or a child’s fall on a wet dock can all feel urgent. Residents and visitors on Long Point can start by calling our Port Dover office and describing what is happening. The team will discuss how urgent it seems and what appointment can be offered based on availability and clinical need.
Some situations are medical emergencies first. For trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding that will not stop or a serious head injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Dental emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can summer visitors call about an emergency?
Yes. Visitors can call and describe the problem. The team will discuss urgency and availability. If you have a regular dentist at home, have their details ready in case records or follow-up are needed.
When should I go to the hospital instead?
Go to an emergency department or call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury. Dental care can follow once those are addressed.
Will the problem be fully fixed at an urgent visit?
Sometimes, but urgent visits often focus on diagnosis and relief. A follow-up appointment or referral may be needed to complete treatment, which the dentist will explain before you leave.
