Dental emergencies could include anything that requires immediate medical attention, from malfunctions in your tooth restorations to severe damage and trauma.

Any dental emergency needs to be treated professionally and with precautions in place to ensure the safety and wellness of the patient. At the same time, there needs to be a delicate balance of speed and meticulousness to mitigate risk and deliver the best possible care. At Orchard Dental Care, our team is fully prepared to welcome you for fast, efficient, and proactive emergency dental services. When time is of the essence, you deserve a professional team with experience in a wide range of procedures. This is where we can step in and take the very best care of you within the comfortable and calming atmosphere of our clinic.

Knocked-Out Tooth 

  • A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency that requires urgent attention. If the appropriate emergency steps are followed immediately after the tooth has been knocked out, the chances are strong that the tooth can be reinserted and preserved by your dentist. 

 Loose Tooth or Tooth Out of Alignment 

  • Teeth may get knocked around and loosened due to contact sports or accidents. If you have a tooth that is loose or out of alignment, call Orchard Dental Care for an emergency appointment right away. In the meantime, you can try to put the tooth back in its original position using your finger with very light pressure. Do not try and force it.

Chipped, Cracked or Fractured Teeth

  • If a tooth is chipped and doesn’t hurt, this usually does not constitute a dental emergency, and you can wait a few days to see a dentist. However, it is essential to be careful while chewing so as not to chip it more. Your emergency dentist may be able to smooth the chip out or add some composite filling material to repair the tooth.
  • A cracked or fractured tooth is a serious issue constituting a dental emergency. Fractured or cracked teeth usually suggest damage has occurred inside of the tooth and the outside.

Tissue Injury and Facial Pain

  •  Any injury inside the mouth, such as puncture wounds, lacerations and tears to the lips, cheeks, mouth and tongue, are considered tissue injuries and a dental emergency. If you experience any tissue injury, it is vital to clean the area immediately with warm water. If the bleeding is coming from the tongue, gently pull the tongue forward and place pressure on the wound using gauze. It would be best if you got to an oral surgeon or nearby hospital emergency room as quickly as possible. 

If you are not sure whether or not you have a real dental emergency, answer the following questions:

  • Are you bleeding from the mouth?
  • Are you in severe pain?
  • Do you have any loose teeth?
  • Have you been hit in the face or mouth?
  • Do you have any swelling in the mouth or facial area?
  • Do you have any bulges, swelling or knots on your gums?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be having a dental emergency and should call Orchard Dental, your emergency dentist in Toronto immediately. It’s essential to describe what has happened and what you are feeling.


HOW TO AVOID A DENTAL EMERGENCY

Many dental emergencies can be easily avoided by having routine check-ups with your dentist to ensure that your mouth and teeth are healthy, strong and free from decay.

Wearing a mouth guard during sports activities will help to prevent teeth from being chipped, knocked out or broken. Avoid chewing on ice and hard foods that may break or fracture your teeth. If you are planning to travel out of the country or leaving for an extended vacation, during which you may not have ready access to dental care, it is essential to see your dentist for a routine check-up before you leave. Your dentist can make sure that you don’t have any loose crowns or teeth decay close to the nerve of a tooth that could cause you pain or develop into an abscess or other problems that could be easily fixed before becoming a dental emergency later.

Testimonials

10 Years. 10 years is how long it took me to muster up the courage to get in to see a dentist again. Due to certain lifestyle choices and the accumulation of time it had been since my last dental check-up/visit, it became increasingly difficult as the years went by to get myself in. There was anxiety surrounding what could possibly be wrong after 10 years, there was the embarrassment of having to admit my 10 year absence and have someone examine my teeth after such a long time, and there was the always present underlying fact of simply not liking visits to the dentist based on past experiences (obviously).
I decided to start 2019 off right and try a new dentist. Dr. Szczutkowski and his team completely blew me away with how comfortable they made me feel. Not only were the services completed professionally and thoroughly, but I was educated along the way as to where I currently stood, and what the next steps were to reacclimate myself into the normal dental care “routine”.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and if you can believe it, can’t wait until my next visit in 6 months!
Thank you very much Dr. Szczutkowski and the Orchard Dental team!!

When my husband and I visited Dr. Polanski's office, we were very impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the beautifully modern decor. The equipment seemed state-of-the-art. Dr. Polanski explained the procedures clearly and was very gentle in her technique. No pain! We left feeling extremely confident about the health of our teeth going forward. Our visit was a very positive experience and we'll definitely be back!
