Explore care for Nanticoke patientsWhen it cannot wait
Act quickly, but know where to go first.
Dental emergencies tend to arrive at the worst moments: a cracked tooth at dinner, a swollen jaw overnight or a knocked-out tooth during a weekend game. Most can be handled by a dental office, but breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury need a hospital immediately.
For other urgent problems, Nanticoke residents should call our Port Dover office as early as possible. The team will ask about symptoms, advise on first steps and arrange an assessment based on urgency and availability.

Dental emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should I go to the hospital instead of the dentist?
Call 911 or go to emergency for difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads quickly, bleeding you cannot control or a serious head injury. Most other dental problems should start with a call to the dental office.
Is there an emergency dental office in Nanticoke?
No. Urgent dental care for Nanticoke residents is provided at our Port Dover office. Call first so the team can advise on urgency and arrange an appropriate time.
Can I always be seen the same day?
Same-day visits depend on the schedule and the urgency of each request. Calling early helps. If an immediate appointment is not available, the team will advise on managing symptoms until you can be seen.
