Phone first, then travel

Knowing the right next step saves time when it counts.

Urgent dental problems are hard to judge at home, especially late in the day or far from the office. If you are in Port Ryerse, call our Port Dover office and describe what is happening before you set out. The appointment offered depends on your symptoms and current availability.

Trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding that will not stop or a serious head injury need emergency medical care. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Talk to our team
01

Getting seen urgently

Let us know when the problem started, whether it is getting worse and about any injury or health conditions.

02

Toothache, swelling & infection

The cause needs to be found by examination. Pain that eases on its own does not always mean the problem is gone.

03

Broken teeth & failed dental work

After an injury, timing can affect the outcome. Tell us if a tooth is knocked out, loose, cracked or pushed out of place.

Urgent dental concerns

Call 519-583-2929 before you leave.

The team can talk through your symptoms and the next suitable appointment. Same-day care depends on capacity and clinical need, so never put off emergency medical help while you wait to hear back from a dental office.

Before you book

Urgent care questions

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

Can I count on a same-day appointment?

No. Availability changes daily and is offered according to urgency. Call to discuss your situation, and the team will explain the options, including when to seek care elsewhere.

Will everything be fixed at the urgent visit?

Sometimes, but emergency visits often focus on diagnosis and making the problem stable. A follow-up appointment or referral may be needed to complete treatment.

What if swelling makes it hard to breathe?

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department right away. Breathing or swallowing difficulty and rapidly spreading swelling need emergency medical attention, not a dental appointment.
