Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dental Care

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Call our emergency dentist in Parkdale as quickly as you can. Time is of the essence when a tooth is knocked out and the faster you respond the better chance of the tooth surviving.  Meanwhile, you might want to do the following:

Gently wash or wipe the tooth clean but do not hold it by the root. Try and insert it back into the socket or hold it in your mouth between the cheek and gums as you head to the emergency dentist. Saliva in the mouth will help the root to stay alive. Alternatively, transport the tooth to the dentist in a small container of cold milk to prevent it from drying out. Our emergency dentist will be awaiting your arrival and will do everything in her power to save the tooth and get you out of pain. 

How can I prevent the need for emergency dental care?

Always wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports or participating in any activity where your mouth and teeth could suffer damage.  Also, brush and floss your teeth daily and visit your Parkdale dentist at least twice a year for a dental check-up and clean.
