Urgent dental problems need the right response at the right time.
Dental emergencies range from a throbbing toothache to a knocked-out tooth after a fall. Some can be handled with a prompt dental visit, while others, such as swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, need hospital care immediately. This page sorts emergency topics so Pine Grove patients can find guidance quickly when something goes wrong.
Urgent dental care is provided at our Port Dover office. Call before setting out so the team can ask about symptoms, discuss urgency and explain what to do while you wait to be seen.
