Where can I find an emergency dentist near me?
Burlington, Ontario, area patients are encouraged to work with the team at Dentistry at LaSalle to address emergency dentistry concerns that may arise. Our team offers urgent dental care for new and current customers, helping individuals in their time of need when unexpected issues occur.
How to handle dental emergencies
Patients must understand what constitutes a dental emergency before calling our Burlington, Ontario, team for urgent dental care. Dental emergencies are best described as situations in the oral cavity requiring immediate attention from a dental professional. Below are just some of the more common dental emergencies we see at Dentistry at LaSalle:
- Toothaches. If a patient experiences tooth pain, they should contact the office immediately. A toothache can often be treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications, and our team will ensure that patients are comfortable during their visit
- Lost fillings or crowns. Patients may lose dental work unexpectedly due to an accident such as a fall or sports injury. When this happens, our dentists can make an immediate replacement using the same material as before, providing the support needed while waiting for repairs to be completed
- Chipped or broken teeth. A hard blow to the mouth can result in a chipped or fractured tooth and should be reported immediately so your dentist can begin planning treatment steps. Patients may experience sensitivity when biting down, swelling, pain in the gums surrounding the tooth, and bleeding in some cases
- Dental Accidents. If a patient has knocked one or more of their teeth from injury or accident, it is critical to take action quickly by either attempting to replace the tooth gently back into place if possible or placing it carefully on its side between cheek and gums until an appointment with our team can be scheduled for emergency care
