Know When Dental Care Should Not Wait

Some dental problems need prompt professional attention to relieve discomfort, protect your teeth and address possible infection or injury. An emergency may include:

  • A knocked-out, loose, broken or severely chipped tooth  
  • Severe tooth pain, swelling or signs of a dental infection  
  • Ongoing bleeding from the mouth after an injury or dental procedure  
  • A lost filling, crown or restoration that is causing pain or sharp edges  
  • An injury to your teeth, gums, jaw or soft tissues

Difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury requires immediate medical emergency care. For dental concerns that are urgent but not life-threatening, our emergency line can help you determine the next step. You can also review our dental emergency triage information and knocked-out tooth guidance for practical direction before your visit.

Receive Clear Guidance Day or Night

Urgent dental concerns do not always happen during regular office hours. Vancouver Dental at Victoria & 54th provides access to a 24/7 emergency dental line, so you can reach out when a problem occurs and receive guidance on your dental concern.

During your appointment, one of our general dentists will assess the affected area, discuss what may be contributing to your symptoms and explain appropriate treatment options. Depending on your needs, care may focus on easing discomfort, managing infection, repairing damage or protecting the tooth from further harm. Every situation is different, and an examination helps us recommend care based on your oral health.

Feel Supported Throughout Your Visit

Dental emergencies can feel especially stressful if you already experience anxiety about dental care. Our team takes a patient-centred approach, explaining what is happening in plain language and making space for your questions. Sedation and sedation alternatives are available for patients who may need additional support during treatment.

Clear communication matters when you are dealing with an unexpected dental problem. Our team provides care in 10 languages, helping more patients and families feel understood while discussing symptoms, treatment options and next steps. We also handle direct insurance billing and can assist with insurance paperwork, including travel-insurance dental claims for visitors.

FAQs

What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?

Handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root, gently rinse it with milk or clean water if it is dirty, and keep it moist. If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it. Otherwise, store it in milk or saliva and seek urgent dental advice.
