Emergency Dentist in Barrhaven
A dental emergency can strike at the worst possible time — a sudden toothache, a tooth broken during dinner, or a filling that falls out over the weekend. When it does, you need help fast. Our Barrhaven emergency dental care focuses on getting you out of pain quickly and protecting your tooth, with same-day priority for urgent cases.
In pain right now?
Call us at (343) 313-1531 as early in the day as you can. The sooner we hear from you, the sooner we can help.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you're experiencing any of the following, don't wait — reach out today:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- A knocked-out, loose, or displaced tooth
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- A lost or broken filling or crown
- Swelling, an abscess, or signs of infection
- Bleeding or trauma to the mouth
What to Do Right Now
While you arrange to see us, a few simple steps can ease discomfort and protect your tooth: rinse gently with warm salt water, use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk and bring it with you. For a lost filling specifically, our emergency fillings guide has detailed steps.
How We Help
Whatever the emergency, our goal is the same: relieve your pain and save your tooth wherever possible.
Toothache Relief
We find the source of the pain and treat it, not just mask the symptoms.
Broken & Chipped Teeth
Repair or protect a fractured tooth before the damage gets worse.
Lost Fillings & Crowns
Re-secure or replace a lost restoration to protect the tooth underneath.
Knocked-Out Teeth
Fast action gives the best chance of saving a tooth that's been displaced.
Abscesses & Swelling
We treat infection promptly to relieve pain and protect your health.
Same-Day Priority
Urgent cases are prioritized so you're seen as soon as possible.
Preventing Emergencies
Many emergencies can be avoided with routine care that catches small problems before they become painful ones. Regular cleanings and checkups and prompt cavity treatment go a long way. You can also read the Canadian Dental Association guidance on handling dental emergencies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Barrhaven?
Yes — we keep room in our schedule for urgent cases and prioritize patients in pain. Call us as early in the day as you can at (343) 313-1531 and we'll get you in as quickly as possible.
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and if possible place it back in the socket or in a cup of milk. Then call us immediately — getting care within an hour gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Is a lost filling a dental emergency?
It can be. A lost filling leaves the tooth exposed and vulnerable to pain and further damage. We can usually repair it quickly — see our emergency fillings page for what to do in the meantime.
How do I manage dental pain until my appointment?
Rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief as directed, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods on that side.
What if I have severe swelling or trouble breathing?
Swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or that spreads to your eye or neck, is a medical emergency — go to your nearest emergency room or call 911. For dental pain and infection without those signs, call us right away.
