Knowing who to call first saves time when it matters.
A dental emergency can mean severe pain, swelling, a broken tooth, a lost crown or an injury to the mouth. Before leaving Lynedoch, call our Port Dover office and describe the problem. The team will discuss how urgent it sounds, what appointments are available and how to protect the tooth on the way.
Some situations need a hospital rather than a dental office. For trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading toward the eye or neck, bleeding that will not stop or a serious head injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Emergency planning questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can I count on a same-day appointment?
Not always. Availability depends on the schedule and the urgency of each situation. Call early, describe your symptoms and the team will explain the options, including when to seek care elsewhere.
Will everything be fixed at the urgent visit?
Sometimes. Often the first visit focuses on diagnosis, pain relief and protecting the tooth, with follow-up appointments or referral for complete treatment.
When should I go to the hospital instead?
Call 911 or go to the emergency department for breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury.
