Why Emergency Dentistry Matters

Dental emergencies can affect more than just your teeth – they can impact your ability to eat, sleep, and function. According to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), quick treatment in emergencies helps preserve teeth and prevent complications. Being prepared for an emergency can mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing a tooth, according to the Ontario Dental Association.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

A dental emergency can signal or cause deeper health concerns. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention links poor oral health to diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory infections. An untreated tooth abscess, for example, can spread quickly. By acting fast with emergency dental treatment in Ottawa, you can protect more than your smile and support overall wellness.

How Often / Who Needs Emergency Dentistry

Emergency dental care isn’t scheduled – it’s for when life surprises you. If you have a sudden toothache, broken restoration, injury, or bitten lip or tongue, you may need emergency care. Ottawa patients come to us for everything from knocked-out teeth to something caught between teeth.

At-Home Tips Between Visits

• Rinse with warm salt water to soothe soreness, take over-the-counter pain relief, and avoid heat sources.
• Use a cold compress for swelling or bruising.
• Clean your tooth gently in cool water and place it back in the socket with clean gauze or a washcloth.
• Keep the broken part of your tooth in cold milk until you bring it to our clinic.
• Avoid chewing on the affected side.
