Do You Have a Dental Emergency in Kanata?

Throbbing pain, a swollen cheek, a tooth that snapped on something hard: these rarely improve on their own, and they tend to get worse overnight. If you’re in Kanata or Stittsville and something feels wrong, call 613-828-3129. We’ll ask a few quick questions, judge how urgent it is, and book the earliest opening we have.

First visit with us? That’s fine. We welcome new emergency patients and accept CDCP.

Kanata Dental Emergencies We Can Help With

Pick what’s happening to see what to do right now, and call us straight from here.

Call us today

Severe Toothache

A deep, pulsing ache, or pain that spikes with hot and cold and lingers, often points to a cavity that has reached the nerve or a tooth with a hidden crack. We pinpoint the source, ease the pain, and talk you through fixes such as a filling, a root canal or, if the tooth can’t be saved, removal.

Call About My Toothache Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Swish lukewarm water around the sore side and floss to clear anything stuck.
  2. Hold a cold pack against your cheek, 15 minutes on and 15 off.
  3. An over-the-counter pain reliever, taken exactly as the label says, can take the edge off.
  4. Keep tablets off the gum itself; they can burn the tissue.
Today: ER if it spreads

Dental Abscess or Facial Swelling

A bump on the gum, a foul taste, or a cheek that’s swelling up are classic signs of an infection around a tooth root. It won’t go away by waiting; the source has to be dealt with by a dentist.

Call About Swelling Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Rinse with a warm salt-water mix (half a teaspoon in a glass of water).
  2. Leave the bump alone: no squeezing or poking.
  3. Skip heating pads on the face; cold is safer.
  4. Swelling moving toward your eye or neck, or a fever, means the ER now.
Urgent: call immediately

Knocked-Out Adult Tooth

Hockey, soccer, a slip on ice: an adult tooth that’s been knocked out has the best chance of reattaching if it’s back in place within about an hour, ideally sooner. Call us the moment it happens.

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

Right now

  1. Grab it by the chewing end, not the root.
  2. If it’s dirty, give it a quick rinse in milk or water; don’t scrub or dry it.
  3. Try easing it back into the socket and bite gently on gauze; if that’s not possible, carry it in milk or tucked in your cheek.
  4. Baby teeth should not be pushed back in.
Today if it hurts or is sharp

Cracked, Chipped or Broken Tooth

Small chips can often be smoothed or bonded, while bigger breaks may need a filling or a crown. When a crack reaches the nerve, root canal therapy can sometimes save the tooth. We’ll show you what we see and explain the choices.

Call About a Cracked Tooth Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Gather the broken bits and keep them in milk.
  2. Gently rinse your mouth with warm water.
  3. A cold compress on the outside helps with swelling.
  4. Pharmacy dental wax or sugar-free gum can cover a jagged edge.
Today if painful, otherwise this week

Crown or Filling Came Out

Once a crown or filling comes loose, the tooth underneath is exposed and more likely to crack or feel sensitive. If the crown is intact, we may be able to cement it back on; otherwise we’ll replace it.

Call About My Crown Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. Keep the crown in a small container and bring it along.
  2. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can hold it short-term.
  3. Never use super glue or other household glue.
  4. Chew on the opposite side until you’re seen.
Call today; heavy bleeding means ER

Wisdom Tooth Flare-Up or Mouth Injury

When a wisdom tooth only partly breaks through, the gum flap over it catches food and can turn sore, red and puffy. Bites and cuts inside the mouth also tend to bleed a lot at first. We’ll look at what’s going on and tell you what we suggest.

Call About Wisdom Tooth Pain Request a Callback

Until you see us

  1. After meals, rinse with warm salt water.
  2. Press clean gauze firmly on a bleeding spot for 15 minutes.
  3. Hold something cold against the outside of your jaw.
  4. Bleeding that keeps going after steady pressure needs the ER.

Before You Leave Kanata: What to Do and What to Bring

Call first. A two-minute call lets us gauge how urgent things are, hold the earliest time for you, and make sure you don’t drive in only to wait.

  • If the pain is severe, ask someone else to drive.
  • Keep a cold compress on your cheek during the trip.
  • Don’t chew on the painful side.
  • Bring any broken pieces or a lost crown in a small container, and a knocked-out tooth in milk.
  • Have your insurance card or CDCP details and a list of your medications ready.

Don’t hold aspirin against the gum or tooth; it can burn the tissue.

What Happens When You Get Here

Our first job is to find out what’s causing the problem and stop it from getting worse.

  1. We go over your symptoms and health history
  2. Dr. Gulia examines the area, and takes an X-ray if it’s needed
  3. You hear what’s wrong in plain language
  4. We lay out your treatment options and the cost of each
  5. Where possible, we treat the problem or relieve the pain that day

Depending on what we find, treatment might be a filling, crown repair, root canal therapy, an extraction, or managing an infection. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed to the plan.

Hurting in Kanata? We’ll find you a time.

Closed right now, but your callback comes first.

Call now and we’ll offer the earliest emergency appointment available.

Doors open again on the next business day. Send a request and we’ll ring you as soon as we’re in.

Questions

Emergency Dentist Kanata: Frequently Asked Questions

We do see walk-in emergency patients when the schedule allows. Because you’re driving in from Kanata, please call first so we can confirm a time and you don’t make the trip only to wait.

Severe or worsening tooth pain, swelling in the gums or face, a cracked or knocked-out tooth, a crown or filling that has come out with pain, bleeding that won’t settle, or signs of infection such as a bad taste or a gum bump. If it hurts, is getting worse or puts the tooth at risk, call us.

A dentist is the right place for most toothaches, cracked teeth, lost crowns and dental swelling. Head to the hospital, or call 911, if the swelling is interfering with breathing or swallowing, travelling toward your eye or neck, or comes with a fever, or if you can’t stop the bleeding or think your jaw is hurt.
