So, what makes us the go-to emergency dental clinic in Edmonton? Let’s explore everything you need to know, before you actually need us.

What Is Emergency Dentistry?

Understanding the Basics

Emergency dentistry focuses on urgent dental treatments that address sudden pain, trauma, or infections. Think of it as the ER of oral health.

When Is It Considered a Dental Emergency?

Here are some common scenarios where emergency dentistry is necessary:

• Severe toothache
  
  
• Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  
  
• Broken or chipped teeth
  
  
• Lost fillings or crowns
  
  
• Gum or facial swelling
  
  
• Abscesses and infections
  
  
• Bleeding that doesn’t stop
  
  

Bottom line? If it hurts, it’s an emergency.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

1. Toothaches That Won’t Quit

Toothaches are more than just annoying, they can be signs of serious issues like infections or cavities. Our dentists perform thorough exams to diagnose and treat pain at the root (sometimes literally with a root canal!).

2. Broken or Cracked Teeth

Biting into hard foods or accidental falls can leave you with a cracked or chipped tooth. We offer:

• Bonding
  
  
• Crowns
  
  
• Veneers
  
  

To restore both function and appearance.

3. Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth)

Yes, we can save your tooth, but time is critical. If you or your child loses a tooth:

1. Pick it up by the crown (not the root).
   
   
2. Rinse it gently (don’t scrub).
   
   
3. Try placing it back in the socket.
   
   
4. If not possible, store it in milk or saliva.
   
   
5. Get to us immediately.
   
   

4. Infections & Abscesses

Dental abscesses can be life-threatening if ignored. We’ll provide:

• Drainage
  
  
• Antibiotics
  
  
• Root canal therapy, if necessary
  
  

Don’t delay, oral infections can spread fast.

5. Lost Crowns or Fillings

That “crunch” you felt while eating? It might be a crown or filling popping out. We offer on-the-spot replacements or repairs to prevent further damage.

What To Do During a Dental Emergency

Step-by-Step First Aid Tips:

• Toothache: Rinse your mouth and floss gently. Take OTC pain relief.
  
  
• Swelling: Apply a cold compress. Avoid heat.
  
  
• Bleeding: Bite on gauze and keep your head elevated.
  
  
• Broken tooth: Save the piece, rinse with warm water, and avoid chewing on that side.
  
  

Then? Call us ASAP.
