What Is a Dental Emergency?

We understand that you don’t want to cry wolf or make a bigger deal out of something than necessary. However, you shouldn’t downplay your discomfort. Contact us immediately if you or a loved one experience:

Severe toothaches or swelling
Bleeding from the mouth that does not stop
Trauma to the teeth or jaw
Loss of a filling or crown
Visible signs of infection, like pus or abscess
Sudden difficulty biting or chewing

You can contact us right away at +1(416) 766-4535. We would rather you reach out to get answers than let a problem linger and potentially worsen.

We Deal with Tooth Damage

Chipped teeth, cracked teeth, loose teeth—any damage to your teeth or gums can be treated at our emergency dental clinic. We evaluate to determine what damage you have and how extensive it is. From there, we offer treatment options to help save and restore the integrity of your tooth. That could be anything from dental fillings to tooth crowns to re-implanting a lost tooth.

We also address what caused the damage in the first place. Sometimes, it’s just an accident, like colliding with the fridge door or roughhousing between kids. At other times, damaged teeth are a sign that something more is going on. If you cracked a molar from teeth grinding, we can offer night guards. If you lost a tooth because of gum disease, we can offer deep dental cleanings. Once your emergency care is done, we direct you to the general dentistry services you need to continue your journey back to wellness.

We Fight Gum and Tooth Infections

If you have bleeding, pain, or inflammation that won’t go away or is getting worse, you may have an underlying infection that needs to be treated. Our urgent dental care includes root canals, which remove the infected soft tissue inside your tooth to save you from an extraction. However, our dentists can perform an emergency tooth extraction if necessary. Removal of problematic teeth can alleviate your pain and prevent further health issues—not just in your mouth but for your whole body. We try to do whatever it takes to stop infection in its tracks.

We Address Post-Procedure Emergencies

Another reason we offer emergency dental services in Toronto is to stay available if you experience a complication from previous care. For instance, you may have experienced a dry socket after a tooth extraction. Dry socket pain and bleeding occur when the blood clot in the extraction site gets dislodged. We can work to get you prompt treatment so that you’re back on the road to recovery in no time.

White Tooth Dental’s restorative dentistry care can also manage broken restorations like a loose bridge, loose crown, or loose filling. You may have even broken or lost your restoration. We can replace or re-cement these restorations, ensuring a solid hold and a quick return to normal.

Frequently Asked Questions on Emergency Dentistry:

What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency typically includes severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth with pain, signs of infection (pus, fever), or trauma to the mouth/jaw.
Should I go to the ER or see an emergency dentist?
Go to the ER if you have trouble breathing/swallowing, facial swelling spreading rapidly, uncontrolled bleeding, or a jaw fracture. For most urgent tooth issues (pain, broken tooth, lost filling/crown), an emergency dentist is usually the best first stop.
What should I do if I have a toothache that won’t go away?
Rinse with warm saltwater, use a cold compress for swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relief if safe for you. Avoid chewing on that side and book an emergency dental visit—persistent pain can indicate infection or deep decay.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saliva and get to a dentist immediately—time matters.
What if I chipped or broke a tooth?
Rinse, save any broken pieces, and avoid chewing on that side. If there’s sharpness, cover it with temporary dental wax. Call for urgent care—treatment may include bonding, a filling, a crown, or root canal therapy depending on the damage.
What if my filling fell out or my crown came off?
Keep the crown if you have it, avoid chewing on that tooth, and call as soon as possible. A lost filling or crown can expose sensitive tooth structure and increase the risk of fracture or infection.
Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?
Many clinics reserve time for same-day emergency dentist visits, depending on availability. Call early, describe your symptoms, and the team can prioritize care based on urgency.
How much does emergency dentistry cost in Canada?
Emergency visit costs vary based on the exam, X-rays, and treatment needed (filling, extraction, root canal, etc.). If you have insurance, coverage depends on your plan—most clinics can provide an estimate after the assessment.
