What is Emergency Dental Care?
A dental emergency is any problem that needs prompt care to relieve pain, stop bleeding or swelling, save a tooth, or treat infection. We prioritise getting you comfortable first, then explain your options.
Who it’s for
- Severe or worsening toothache
- A knocked-out, broken, or cracked tooth
- Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
- A lost filling or crown, or a dental abscess
How it works
- 1Call right away
Phone us and describe what’s happening — we’ll triage and find you the earliest time.
- 2Relieve the pain
Our first priority is getting you comfortable and stopping the immediate problem.
- 3Diagnose
We examine and, if needed, image the area to find the cause.
- 4Treat & plan
We treat what’s urgent and plan any follow-up care, explaining costs first.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the treatment — many people feel immediate relief once the problem is addressed. We’ll give you clear aftercare and a follow-up plan.
Cost
Emergency visits follow the BC Dental Fee Guide. The cost depends on what’s needed — an exam and X-ray to assess the problem, then whatever treatment is required to resolve it. This is general guidance, not a quote; we always explain the cost before we proceed.
Insurance & coverage
Most extended dental plans cover emergency exams and many treatments. We help you understand your coverage and submit claims, and can check Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) eligibility.
Common questions
What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?
Handle it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse, and if you can, place it back in the socket or in milk — then call us immediately. Time matters.
