What Dental Problems Need Emergency Care?
Severe Tooth Pain
A toothache that is sharp, constant or wakes you up is your body’s warning sign. It is often caused by a cavity that has reached the nerve or an infection. Getting it checked early can keep a small problem from becoming a bigger one.
Facial or Gum Swelling
A swollen gum, cheek or jaw usually means infection. A dental abscess will not heal without treatment and may spread to nearby areas, so book a dental visit as soon as you notice swelling.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Biting into something hard or a fall can crack a tooth. A broken tooth may feel sharp, sensitive to hot and cold, or painful when you chew. Prompt repair helps protect what is left of the tooth.
Knocked-Out Tooth
If an adult tooth is knocked out, every minute counts. A dentist may be able to put the tooth back if you get care quickly, ideally within the first hour.
Lost Filling or Crown
A missing filling or crown leaves the tooth weaker and more exposed. It may not hurt right away, but the tooth can crack or decay further. Plan to see us within a day or two.
Dental Trauma
Injuries to the mouth from sports, falls or car accidents can affect teeth, roots, gums and the jaw. Some damage is not visible, so an exam and X-rays are a good idea after any hard blow.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth
Hold the tooth by the top part you chew with, not the root. Rinse it for a few seconds with milk or water if it is dirty, but do not scrub it or wrap it in tissue. Gently push it back into place if you can and bite down on gauze. Otherwise, store it in milk and call us immediately. Never replant a baby tooth.
Broken Tooth
Gently rinse with warm water and keep any pieces you find. A cold pack on your cheek can ease swelling. Cover sharp edges with dental wax or a piece of sugar-free gum, avoid chewing on that side, and call our office to be seen.
Facial Swelling
Apply a cold pack to the outside of the swollen area, 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. Avoid heat packs. Contact us right away.
Lost Filling or Crown
Save the crown and bring it with you. Keep the area clean and avoid sticky or hard foods. Pharmacy dental cement can protect the tooth temporarily, but do not use superglue. Book an appointment with us within a day or two.
Severe Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water and use floss to clear out any stuck food. An over-the-counter pain reliever, taken as the label directs, and a cold pack may help. Do not hold a pill against your gum, because it can burn. Call us so we can find the cause.
⚠️ Medical emergency warning: If the swelling reaches your eye or neck, you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or you have a fever, go to the hospital emergency department or call 911.

Emergency Dental Treatments We Provide
Emergency dental care at Tomken Dental is provided by general dentists.
Emergency Tooth Extraction
If a tooth cannot be saved, removing it can ease pain and help clear infection. We will talk about options to replace the tooth later, such as an implant or bridge.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment cleans infection out of the inside of a tooth. It can relieve severe pain and often lets you keep the tooth instead of losing it.

Dental Crowns
A crown protects a tooth that is badly broken or has had a root canal. With our in-house lab, some crowns can be made and placed in a single visit.
Learn about same-day crowns →
Treatment for Broken Teeth
Small chips may need only bonding or a filling. Larger breaks may need a crown. We choose the repair based on how much of the tooth is damaged.
Treatment for Dental Trauma
After an accident, we check for hidden damage with X-rays and 3D imaging when needed, stabilize loose teeth, and follow up to monitor healing.

Insurance Coverage & Financing
How Much Does Emergency Dental Care Cost?
Every dental emergency is different, so the cost depends on your exam findings and the treatment you choose. Your dentist will explain your options and costs before any treatment begins, so you can decide with all the facts.
Examination
Your visit starts with an exam focused on the problem area. This helps your dentist find the cause of your pain quickly.
X-Rays and Diagnostics
X-rays or 3D CBCT images may be needed to see roots, bone or hidden cracks. We only take the images that help with your diagnosis.
Complexity and Treatment
Costs vary with the treatment needed. A small repair costs less than a root canal, extraction or crown, and some problems need more than one visit.
Insurance and Payment Options
Most dental insurance plans cover part of emergency care, and we offer direct billing with many insurers. We also accept patients covered by the Canada Dental Care Plan. OHIP does not generally pay for dental treatment in a dental office. For larger treatments, ask about our payment plans and financing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a mouth or tooth problem that needs quick care to control pain, treat infection or save a tooth. Examples include severe toothache, swelling, a knocked-out tooth and a broken tooth.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Yes, same-day emergency appointments are often available. Call us early in the day, and we will offer you the soonest opening.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse it briefly if needed, and try to put it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk and call us immediately. Getting care within the first hour matters most.
What should I do if my face is swollen?
Call our office right away and apply a cold pack to the outside of your face. If swelling affects your breathing, swallowing or eyes, or you have a fever, go to the nearest emergency department or call 911.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
It depends on the exam, any X-rays and the treatment you need. We share an estimate before treatment, bill many insurers directly and accept CDCP.
Do you accept new emergency patients?
Yes. New patients are welcome for emergency care at Tomken Dental, and no referral is needed.
What should I do after hours?
If our office is closed, leave us a message and we will return your call when we reopen. You can also call Health811 at 811 for free health advice. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, call 911.
Should I go to the ER for a toothache?
Usually not. Hospital emergency departments can manage pain, severe swelling or spreading infection, but they generally cannot repair teeth. For most toothaches, a dentist can treat the cause.
