Emergency Dentistry In Oakville

If you answer YES to any of these questions, you may be experiencing a dental emergency. Contact Trafalgar Dental Oakville immediately for fast assistance:

• Is your mouth bleeding?
• Are you in severe pain?
• Are any of your teeth loose or knocked out?
• Has your face or mouth been injured?
• Is your mouth, jaw, or lower facial area swollen?
• Are your gums swollen, bleeding, or bulging?
• Do you feel sharp pain when eating, biting, or consuming hot/cold foods.

A dental emergency is any oral health issue requiring urgent care to relieve pain, stop bleeding, save a tooth, or treat infection before it worsens.

Dental emergencies are urgent when they involve:

• Severe pain, swelling, or persistent bleeding
• Knocked-out, chipped, or cracked teeth
• Lost crowns or fillings: If pain persists for over two days, stop using over-the-counter painkillers and seek immediate dental care – underlying issues like infections could worsen without prompt treatment.

• Gently rinse your mouth with lukewarm water.
• Avoid eating or drinking before your visit.
• Take ibuprofen for pain relief and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• If possible, bring the dislodged tooth, crown, or broken dental pieces with you.

At Trafalgar Dental Oakville, our emergency dentists will:

1. Assess the situation: Review your dental and medical history and take necessary X-rays.
2. Relieve your pain: Offer pain management, antibiotics, or other immediate care.
3. Provide treatment: Perform procedures like fillings, tooth extractions, root canals, or temporary repairs.

To determine your emergency dentist cost, we will need to examine your oral health and diagnose the underlying issue causing you pain and discomfort. We will then decide what treatment would bring you lasting protection and relief.

If you break your dentures, you will need to visit our Oakville dental office to get them repaired or replaced. Usually, you will need to replace the entire denture if it is broken in half. Get in touch with us if you notice any damage to your denture as trying to fix your prosthesis on your own may result in further damage and pose risk to your oral health. You can use your spare dentures until you get a replacement.

If your tooth is chipped, it is wise to schedule an appointment with us. This is because even a small impact on your tooth can deteriorate into more significant damage with time. Even if you are not experiencing any pain, you may not know if the innermost portion of your tooth is exposed until a dentist thoroughly examines it.
