1. What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Answer: A dental emergency includes situations like severe toothache, knocked-out teeth, cracked or broken teeth, bleeding gums, abscesses, or any injury to the mouth or jaw. If you’re in pain or have suffered an injury, it’s best to seek immediate care.

2. What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Answer: If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist in a glass of milk or saline solution and seek dental care immediately.

3. How can I manage dental pain until I see a dentist?

Answer: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek can also help reduce swelling and numb the pain. Avoid applying heat directly to the area.

4. Are emergency dental services available after hours?

Answer: We will always try to accommodate those patients who are experiencing a dental emergency as soon as possible. Please call the office at Thornhill Dental office Phone Number 905-762-0122 if you are experiencing a problem.

5. What should I expect during an emergency dental visit?

Answer: During an emergency visit, our dentists will conduct an examination to assess the problem, take necessary X-rays, and discuss treatment options. The goal is to relieve pain, address any immediate issues, and plan for further care if needed.
