A dental emergency doesn’t follow your pre-planned schedule, but treating it can’t wait until your next regular dental visit. Whether it’s a sudden, throbbing ache that kept you up all night or a tooth that was knocked out during a game at the University, seeking care right away is critical.
At Hartsland Dental, we maintain dedicated time every day specifically for treating urgent needs. We prioritise your care to prevent long-term damage. Visit our emergency dentist in Guelph.
Do I Have an Oral Health Emergency?
If you are in pain or have suffered trauma, we can help. Common situations that require clinical urgency include:
- Severe, Persistent Toothaches
- Often a sign of an abscess or deep-seated infection that requires immediate intervention to save the tooth.
- Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Teeth
- Time is the most critical factor if a tooth gets knocked out. If we can see you within an hour, there is a significantly higher chance of successfully replanting the tooth.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Fractured Teeth
- Beyond the aesthetics, a fracture exposes the sensitive inner “pulp” of the tooth to bacteria.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns
- Leaving the underlying tooth exposed can lead to rapid decay and extreme temperature sensitivity.
- Soft Tissue Injuries
- Uncontrollable bleeding or severe tears to the gums, lips, or tongue.
Our Emergency Dentistry Protocol
When you call us at 519-822-7147, our team goes into action:
Phone Triage
- Our experienced staff will ask specific questions to assess the severity and provide immediate “first-aid” instructions (such as how to store a knocked-out tooth).
Instant Diagnostics
- Upon arrival, we use exams, Digital X-rays, and Intraoral Cameras to pinpoint the source of the problem.
Sedation Options
- If you are in high distress, we offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax while we perform the necessary repairs.
Stabilization First
- Our primary goal is to get you out of pain. Once the situation is stable, we’ll discuss long-term restorative options like crowns, bridges, or root canals.
