Emergency Dental Problems We Treat for Barrhaven Families

Select the problem for step-by-step first aid, then call us with one tap.

Call us today

Severe Tooth Pain

If a tooth aches constantly, throbs when you lie down, or reacts sharply to hot and cold, the nerve may be inflamed by deep decay or a crack. We track down the cause, relieve the pain, and walk you through treatments such as filling the tooth, root canal therapy or extraction.

Call About Tooth Pain Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Rinse with warm water, then floss gently to clear trapped food.
  2. Rest a wrapped cold pack on your cheek, no more than 15 minutes in a stretch.
  3. Over-the-counter pain medicine can help; follow the package directions.
  4. Never place a tablet directly on the sore gum.
Call today: ER if it spreads or you have a fever

Abscessed Tooth or Swollen Face

Swelling in the gum or face, a pimple-like bump near a tooth, or a bad taste that won’t go away are warning signs of an infection. It needs a dentist to treat the cause, and it can spread if it’s left alone.

Call About Swelling Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Rinse gently with warm salt water a few times a day.
  2. Don’t try to drain or squeeze the bump.
  3. Use cold, not heat, on the outside of your face.
  4. Go to the ER immediately if swelling moves toward your eye or neck, or you develop a fever.
Urgent: time matters

Knocked-Out Tooth from a Fall or Sport

Kids’ sports, playground falls and winter ice are common causes. A knocked-out adult tooth has its best chance if it’s back in the socket within about an hour, so call us immediately. Baby teeth are handled differently.

Call Now: Knocked-Out Tooth Get Help Now: After-Hours Options

Right now

  1. Pick it up by the crown, avoiding the root.
  2. If dirty, rinse quickly in milk or water without scrubbing.
  3. Ease an adult tooth back in and bite on gauze, or store it in a cup of milk.
  4. Don’t put a baby tooth back in.
Call today if painful or jagged

Chipped or Fractured Tooth

Depending on how much of the tooth is lost, we may bond it, fill it or cover it with a crown. Cracks that reach the nerve sometimes need root canal therapy to keep the tooth.

Call About a Chipped Tooth Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Keep the pieces in milk or a sealed container.
  2. Rinse with warm water.
  3. Apply a cold compress outside the mouth to limit swelling.
  4. Dental wax from the pharmacy can cover a sharp edge.
Today if it hurts; otherwise within days

Crown Fell Off or Filling Fell Out

A tooth missing its crown or filling is exposed, tender and prone to breaking. If the crown is intact, we can often cement it back; if not, we’ll rebuild or replace it.

Call About a Lost Filling Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Store the crown safely and bring it to your visit.
  2. Temporary dental cement from a drugstore can help for a short time.
  3. Avoid super glue and other household glues.
  4. Chew on the other side for now.
Same day if possible; hospital for nonstop bleeding

Wisdom Tooth Pain or Bleeding Gums

An erupting wisdom tooth can leave a flap of gum that traps food and becomes painful and swollen. Mouth injuries from falls or sports can bleed heavily. We’ll assess the area and advise you on next steps.

Call About Wisdom Tooth Pain Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Use a warm salt-water rinse after each meal.
  2. Bleeding? Fold clean gauze, press hard and hold for a full 15 minutes.
  3. Apply a cold compress along the jaw.
  4. Bleeding that won’t stop with pressure needs the ER.

Still unsure? Call 613-828-3129, describe what you see, and we’ll tell you how quickly it needs attention.

Same-day emergency visits are available whenever there’s an opening. Phone 613-828-3129 as soon as you can and we’ll offer the first free slot, so you can time the drive up Woodroffe Avenue.

Yes, when the schedule allows. Since the drive from Barrhaven takes a little time, please call ahead so we can confirm when to come and you’re not left waiting.

If it’s a baby tooth, don’t try to put it back; call us so we can check for other injuries. If it’s an adult (permanent) tooth, hold it by the crown, rinse it briefly if it’s dirty, and put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk, then call us right away. Time matters.

Head north on Woodroffe Avenue through Nepean until you reach Carling Avenue. Our clinic at 2280 Carling Ave, Unit 2, is close to Carlingwood Mall, and parking is free. The Get Directions button above shows the current travel time.

Yes. We take CDCP, and we can also send claims straight to most private insurers. Before treatment, we’ll confirm what your plan will pay.

Call 911 or go to the ER when swelling starts to interfere with breathing or swallowing, moves up toward the eye or into the neck, or arrives with a fever, and when bleeding can’t be controlled or the jaw may be broken. Toothaches, chipped teeth and lost crowns can be handled by a dentist.

Our office doesn’t open on weekends. The Ottawa Dental Society’s emergency service (613-523-4185) connects callers with whichever dentist is on call, daily between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.; there is a charge. Nurses at Health811 (811) can advise you at any hour.
