Urgent dental problems call for a quick, clear plan.
A cracked molar at supper, a swollen cheek in the morning or a tooth lost in a fall can leave you unsure what to do first. If you are in Walsingham, phone our Port Dover office and describe what is happening before you set out. The team will discuss urgency and the appointment the day’s schedule can offer.
Some situations need a hospital rather than a dentist. 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.

Emergency questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can I count on a same-day appointment?
No guarantee can be made. Call early to discuss your symptoms and what is available. The team can also tell you when another setting would be more appropriate.
Will everything be fixed at the urgent visit?
Not always. An urgent appointment often focuses on diagnosis and relief, with a further visit or referral needed to complete treatment.
What if swelling makes it hard to breathe?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away. Breathing or swallowing difficulty and rapidly spreading swelling need emergency medical care.
