Urgent dental problems, and what to do first.
Dental emergencies can happen anywhere, from the kitchen table to a back road or a ball diamond. Severe pain, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth and a lost crown all need attention, though some need it much faster than others. This page helps you find guidance for the problem in front of you.
From Silver Hill, the most useful first step is usually a phone call to our Port Dover office. Describe what happened and how you feel, and the team will help you judge urgency. Breathing or swallowing trouble, spreading swelling or a serious head injury needs 911 or a hospital first.
