WHAT IS A DENTAL EMERGENCY?

A dental emergency is an urgent dental problem usually associated with teeth and jaws, which may have symptoms that require immediate attention by a dentist. Anything that involves the intense impact on your teeth, gums, and oral tissues are considered dental emergencies. In general, any dental problem that needs immediate treatment to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is regarded as an emergency.

Although very few cases of dental emergencies can be fatal, overlooking them can cause permanent damage or can be very expensive to manage in the long run. Unlike other health complications, it is easy to point out a dental emergency. These dental emergencies are best if left to a reputed dentist to handle.

 

EMERGENCY DENTAL SERVICES AND SITUATIONS IN ETOBICOKE

 

emergency dental services etobicokeA dental emergency must be treated professionally and with precautions in place to ensure the safety and wellness of the patient. At the same time, there needs to be a delicate balance of speed and meticulousness to mitigate risk and deliver the best possible care. 

If you are in Etobicoke, Orchard Dental can quickly evaluate the problem and decide on the best course of action. If there’s no time to treat the tooth adequately, the dentist will offer you a quick temporary solution to stop the pain as you wait for a longer dental appointment.

 

Loose Tooth or Tooth Out of Alignment 

  • A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency that requires urgent attention. If the appropriate emergency steps are followed immediately after the tooth has been knocked out, the chances are strong that the tooth can be reinserted and preserved by your dentist. 

Severe Toothache

  • Tooth pain caused by injury (like a broken or cracked tooth) or severe oral infection (like a cavity or pulp infection) requires emergency care. The pain may be either dull or sharp, but if it is consistent and severe enough that you are unable to function effectively, get yourself to our office right away.

Gum and Mouth Pain

  • If a tooth is chipped and doesn’t hurt, this usually does not constitute a dental emergency, and you can wait a few days to see a dentist. However, it is essential to be careful while chewing so as not to chip it more. Your emergency dentist may be able to smooth the chip out or add some composite filling material to repair the tooth. 

Lost or Broken Filling or Crown

  • When it comes to fillings or crowns if they are lost or broken, they will ultimately need to be replaced. To help the pain in the meantime, place a small amount of clove oil on a cotton swab and gently apply it to the area. You can also try to put the crown back over the tooth using toothpaste or denture adhesive to help keep it in place, but it’s important not to force it.

Loose Tooth or Tooth Out of Alignment

  • Teeth may get knocked around and loosened due to contact sports or accidents. If you have a tooth that is loose or out of alignment, call Orchard Dental Care for an emergency appointment right away. In the meantime, you can try to put the tooth back in its original position using your finger with very light pressure. Do not try and force it.

Wisdom Tooth Pain

  • Spacing and crowding problems caused by wisdom teeth often create impaction and infection. Your pain may be a symptom of infection, and if left untreated, can lead to more serious oral health issues and pose a risk to your overall health. 


If you are not sure whether or not you have a real dental emergency, answer the following questions:

  • Are you bleeding from the mouth?
  • Are you in severe pain?
  • Do you have any loose teeth?
  • Have you been hit in the face or mouth?
  • Do you have any swelling in the mouth or facial area?
  • Do you have any bulges, swelling or knots on your gums?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be having an urgent dental emergency and should call Orchard Dental, for emergency dental services Etobicoke immediately. It’s essential to describe what has happened and what you are feeling.

Testimonials

10 Years. 10 years is how long it took me to muster up the courage to get in to see a dentist again. Due to certain lifestyle choices and the accumulation of time it had been since my last dental check-up/visit, it became increasingly difficult as the years went by to get myself in. There was anxiety surrounding what could possibly be wrong after 10 years, there was the embarrassment of having to admit my 10 year absence and have someone examine my teeth after such a long time, and there was the always present underlying fact of simply not liking visits to the dentist based on past experiences (obviously).
I decided to start 2019 off right and try a new dentist. Dr. Szczutkowski and his team completely blew me away with how comfortable they made me feel. Not only were the services completed professionally and thoroughly, but I was educated along the way as to where I currently stood, and what the next steps were to reacclimate myself into the normal dental care “routine”.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and if you can believe it, can’t wait until my next visit in 6 months!
Thank you very much Dr. Szczutkowski and the Orchard Dental team!!

When my husband and I visited Dr. Polanski's office, we were very impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the beautifully modern decor. The equipment seemed state-of-the-art. Dr. Polanski explained the procedures clearly and was very gentle in her technique. No pain! We left feeling extremely confident about the health of our teeth going forward. Our visit was a very positive experience and we'll definitely be back!
