Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Emergencies in Guelph
A dental emergency is any situation that you feel requires immediate attention. This can include lost or chipped fillings, a broken or missing crown, toothaches, jaw pain, or facial and dental injuries. It can also refer to time-sensitive dental work you need completed before an upcoming trip. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, please call (519) 836-5110 — we’ll be happy to help you determine if prompt care is needed.
If a tooth is knocked out, acting quickly is crucial. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), and if it’s dirty, gently rinse it with water. If you can, carefully place the tooth back into its socket. If that isn’t possible, store it in a container of milk and seek dental care immediately. Prompt treatment gives you the best chance of saving the tooth.
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help cleanse the area around the affected tooth. Carefully floss to remove any food particles that might be contributing to the discomfort. Avoid placing aspirin or other pain relievers directly on the gums, as this can cause tissue irritation or damage. We recommend seeing a dentist as soon as possible for proper care.
Rinse your mouth with warm water to cleanse the area. If bleeding occurs, place gauze or a damp tea bag on the affected spot to help control it. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth to minimize swelling. Contact us right away for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
If a filling or crown comes loose, be sure to keep it in a safe place. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to keep the area clean. It’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, avoid chewing hard foods that could cause further damage to the tooth, and steer clear of very hot or cold foods and drinks. Schedule a dental visit as soon as you can.
Most emergency rooms do not have a dentist on staff to handle routine dental emergencies. If you’re facing a dental issue, it’s often best to visit a local dental clinic for immediate care. However, if you’ve suffered head or neck trauma beyond just your mouth, it’s important to seek medical attention at the emergency room. When in doubt, it’s always safest to go to your nearest ER first.
If you have valid dental insurance and have not yet reached your coverage limit, your treatment will be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance provider. We will supply you with a completed claim form to assist with the reimbursement process. The fee for the emergency assessment includes a consultation with a dentist as well as any necessary X-rays for an accurate diagnosis. If required, a prescription or referral will also be provided. Should additional dental treatment be necessary, you will receive a detailed estimate for your review prior to starting any procedures.
