Urgent dental problems need a clear first step.
Severe pain, swelling, broken teeth and injuries can be hard to judge from home. If you are in Selkirk, phone our Port Dover office and describe what is happening before you get in the car. The team will ask about your symptoms and explain what can be offered, based on urgency and that day’s availability.
Some situations need emergency medical care rather than a dental visit. For trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding that will not stop or a serious head injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
