Urgent dental problems, sorted by what has happened.
A dental emergency rarely arrives at a convenient moment. It might be a toothache that keeps you awake, swelling along the jaw, a tooth cracked on something hard or an injury from a fall around the farm. These groups help people near Vanessa find first-aid steps and know what to expect.
Urgent dental care is provided at our Port Dover office. Call before you set out so the team can ask about your symptoms and advise you. Trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a head injury need 911 or a hospital first.

Dental emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
When should I go to the hospital instead of the dentist?
Go to the nearest emergency department or call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading toward the eye or neck, uncontrolled bleeding, a suspected broken jaw or a head injury.
Can I be seen the same day?
It depends on the schedule and how urgent the problem is. Calling early and describing your symptoms clearly gives the best chance, and the team will advise you either way.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
Hold it by the crown, rinse briefly if dirty and try to put it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep it in milk and call the office straight away.
