How do I know if I have a dental emergency or if it can wait?

Injuries, toothaches, and swelling are always dental emergencies in Barrie. We don’t want any issues to linger that put your oral health at risk or threaten your comfort and well-being.

So, if you need emergency dental care or you suspect you might never hesitate to give us a call.

A dental emergency may mean any of the following issues:

  • Worsening toothache
  • Increasing tooth sensitivity
  • Jaw pain with or without swelling
  • Broken or knocked-out tooth
  • Broken restoration

A broken tooth or restoration can introduce bacteria and leave you at risk for infection. Seeing your emergency dentist as soon as possible mitigates the risks.

We can sometimes restore a knocked-out tooth if you see the dentist promptly. In the meantime, preserve the tooth in a cup of saliva or milk.

Dental Issues that Can Wait

A chipped or cracked tooth can often wait until the next available appointment. Additionally, slightly damaged restorations or a minor injury to the mouth (elbow, for example) without pain are not always urgent.

However, if you experience pain or swelling, we want to see you immediately.
