We define a dental emergency in North York as any oral health situation that puts your teeth and gums at risk or that causes you discomfort. If your oral health issue matches these criteria, we want to hear from you as soon as possible.
Of course, if you’re unsure whether a specific situation is putting your dental health at risk, always call us for guidance.
Here are a few situations where you should contact your emergency dentist in North York as soon as possible:
- You have a toothache or lingering sensitivity.
- You have swelling of the jaw or face around the mouth.
- You have sustained an injury or damage to a tooth or restoration.
- You have an object of floss wedged between the teeth.
Oral Health Situations That Can Wait Until the Next Opening
A minor chip on your tooth is not a dental emergency unless it causes pain. Likewise, a bump to the tooth with minor bleeding that subsides on its own (without lingering pain or swelling) is not a dental emergency.
If ever you’re unsure, always call our dental office for guidance.
