Explore care for Teeterville patientsWhen it cannot wait
Find the right urgent dental information quickly.
Dental emergencies range from a lost filling that needs protecting to swelling that signals a spreading infection. Knowing how urgent a problem is, and what to do in the first hour, can make a real difference. The pages below are grouped by type of emergency so Teeterville residents can find relevant guidance without searching through everything.
Emergency dental care is provided at our Port Dover office. Call before setting out so the team can ask about symptoms, advise on timing and suggest what to bring. Breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious head injury need 911 or a hospital emergency department instead.
