Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Severe toothachePersistent, severe tooth pain is a sign of infection or deep decay that requires prompt attention. Don't wait it out.
Broken or chipped toothA broken tooth can have sharp edges that cut soft tissue and may indicate deeper structural damage. Call us even if the tooth doesn't hurt.
Knocked-out toothTime is critical. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk or saliva. Call us immediately — re-implantation is most successful within an hour.
Lost filling or crownA missing filling or crown exposes the tooth to bacteria and temperature sensitivity. Call us to get it replaced before further damage occurs.
Dental abscessSwelling, severe pain, fever, or a visible pimple on the gum near a tooth may indicate an abscess — a serious infection that requires immediate treatment. This is a true dental emergency.
Soft tissue injuryCuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums can cause significant bleeding. If bleeding does not stop with direct pressure, seek emergency care.
Broken braces or wireA broken wire from braces can puncture soft tissue. Cover the sharp end with orthodontic wax and call us for adjustment.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Step 1 — Call us at (604) 385-0074 immediately. We will prioritize your call and do our best to get you in the same day.
Step 2 — Describe your symptoms clearly so we can prepare for your visit and advise you on immediate steps.
Step 3 — If you are in severe pain while waiting, over-the-counter pain relief (ibuprofen, acetaminophen) can help manage discomfort. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum — this can cause tissue damage.
Step 4 — If you have signs of a serious infection (difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking; high fever; severe facial swelling) — go to the nearest emergency room immediately. These are medical emergencies.
