In Pain? Experiencing Tooth Decay? Had a Tooth Knocked Out? Lost a Tooth Replacement? Our Emergency Dentist is Here to Help.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing pain and anxiety when you least expect it. At Dentistry at Frederick, we understand the urgency of dental pain and trauma, which is why we prioritize emergency dental care for patients throughout Kitchener. Our team is equipped to provide prompt relief and effective treatment for a wide range of urgent dental situations.
When dental pain strikes or an accident damages your teeth, you need immediate attention. Our Kitchener dental office reserves time in our daily schedule specifically for emergency appointments, allowing us to see patients with urgent needs as quickly as possible during regular business hours. We treat both existing patients and new patients experiencing dental emergencies.
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 15-20 minutes to reduce swelling. Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed on the package. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum tissue, as this can cause tissue damage.
Time is critical for successful tooth re-implantation. Handle the tooth by the crown only, avoiding contact with the root surface. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water without scrubbing. Attempt to place the tooth back in its socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva while seeking immediate dental care.
Save any tooth fragments if possible and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply gauze to any bleeding areas and use a cold compress to minimize swelling. Avoid chewing on the affected side until you receive professional treatment.
Keep the restoration if you can find it, as it may be possible to re-cement it temporarily. Avoid chewing on the affected tooth, and contact our dental office for guidance on temporary care measures until your appointment.
Our emergency dental appointments focus on providing immediate pain relief and stabilizing your dental condition.
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, many can be avoided through:
