Tell us what changed

A prompt call helps clarify where to turn.

A tooth can break during a meal, pain can interrupt sleep or swelling can appear unexpectedly. Call our Port Dover office with the symptoms, when they began and whether they are changing. We can discuss an assessment according to urgency and availability.

For difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a dental appointment or an online reply.

Talk to our team
01

Requesting urgent assessment

Explain the concern before travelling within Norfolk County. An appointment needs confirmation, and an urgent assessment may lead to further treatment.

02

Toothache, infection & swelling

Describe the location, severity and progression rather than assuming the cause. Assessment guides the care needed.

03

Accidents & broken dental work

Report knocked-out teeth, fractures and loose restorations promptly. Tell us about other injuries and any fragments recovered.

Before setting out

Call 519-583-2929 to discuss the concern.

Same-day treatment cannot be guaranteed. The team needs to consider your symptoms, clinical needs and the available schedule. If care must be sought elsewhere, ask about the next step and do not delay emergency medical help for serious symptoms.

Talk to our team

Use these service pages to understand the conversation ahead

Pain, infection, an injury and a loose restoration can lead to different assessments even when each feels urgent. The links above explain the questions commonly associated with those concerns. They can help you prepare, but you do not need to read every page or identify a diagnosis before calling for guidance.

Give the team a clear account of the timing and any change since the problem began. Mention recent treatment, relevant health conditions and medicines already taken. If someone else has assessed the concern, explain what they found and what they advised. This helps connect the next step with care already received.

Separate immediate arrangements from the complete treatment plan

First confirm where and when appropriate assessment can be provided. Same-day availability is not guaranteed, and a booking should be confirmed before travelling to our Port Dover office. For serious medical symptoms, seek emergency medical care without waiting for a dental appointment.

Once the dentist has assessed the problem, ask about suitable options and the visits they involve. Norfolk County patients may need to return for a final repair or see another provider for part of treatment. Understanding that sequence, the anticipated costs and the contact arrangements helps you plan follow-through after the immediate concern has received attention.

Planning your appointment

Have the key details ready when you call.

Tell us about current medicines, allergies, recent dental work and any care already received. If a child is injured, give their age and whether the tooth is permanent or a baby tooth, if known.

Confirm where and when to attend. Ask what to bring and what instructions apply while waiting; do not delay seeking urgent guidance to find missing records or tooth fragments.

Before you book

Questions during an urgent concern

Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.

Does an emergency visit complete the repair?

It depends on the diagnosis and treatment that can be provided. An urgent appointment may address the immediate concern while a restoration, further procedure or referral remains necessary. Ask what was completed, what still needs attention and who will arrange the next stage.

Can I book by sending a message?

Call for urgent concerns because an online request may not receive an immediate response and does not confirm an appointment. Describe the symptoms before travelling. Seek emergency medical help directly for serious warning signs rather than waiting for the office to respond.

What if I do not know which emergency service I need?

You do not need to select a procedure. Explain what happened, the symptoms and how quickly they are changing. The pages below describe common concerns, but an assessment is needed to establish the cause and decide which treatment is appropriate.

Can a child’s dental injury follow the same advice as an adult’s?

Not automatically. Tell the clinician the child’s age and whether the affected tooth is permanent or a baby tooth, if known. Some instructions differ; a knocked-out baby tooth should not be replanted. Obtain prompt professional guidance rather than applying adult treatment advice yourself.

What should I ask before leaving an urgent appointment?

Confirm the findings, the care provided and any treatment still outstanding. Ask for instructions for the period before the next visit, including whom to contact with changes. If a referral is involved, clarify who arranges it and the recommended timing.
