Urgent dental problems, sorted by what happened.
A cracked molar at supper, a child’s tooth knocked loose in the yard or a swollen jaw in the morning can all leave you wondering what to do next. From a rural hamlet like Walsh, a quick call before you leave home helps the team understand the urgency and get ready for you at our Port Dover office.
Some symptoms are medical emergencies first. Trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading quickly, bleeding that will not stop or a significant head injury need 911 or the nearest emergency department, not a wait for a dental appointment. Dental care can follow once you are medically safe.

Emergency questions from Walsh
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can you promise to see me the same day?
No. Availability depends on the schedule and the urgency of each case. Call to describe your symptoms, and the team will explain the options, including when to seek care elsewhere.
Will everything be fixed at the urgent visit?
Sometimes. Often the first visit focuses on diagnosis, relief and stabilizing the tooth, with further appointments or a referral needed to complete treatment.
What if swelling makes it hard to swallow?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Difficulty breathing or swallowing and rapidly spreading swelling need emergency medical attention before dental care.
