If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us — we will help you decide. Common dental emergencies include:
Pain that keeps you up at night, throbbing pain, or pain that does not respond to over-the-counter pain medication. This often indicates infection or nerve damage that needs prompt treatment.
If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, time is critical — ideally we want to see you within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
A fractured tooth, especially with sharp edges or exposed inner tooth, should be seen the same day to prevent infection and further damage.
A lost filling or crown exposes the tooth underneath and is uncomfortable. We can usually replace or re-cement it quickly.
Facial swelling, swollen gums, or a pimple-like bump on the gum often signals an infection that needs urgent attention.
Persistent bleeding from the mouth following an injury or extraction should be assessed promptly.
If your jaw is broken, or if you have heavy facial bleeding or trauma, please go to a hospital emergency department first.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently with water if dirty. If possible, place it back in the socket. Otherwise, store it in milk or saliva and call us immediately.
Rinse with warm salt water and floss carefully to dislodge any trapped food. Take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Do not put aspirin directly on the gum.
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Save any broken fragments in milk or saliva. Apply a cold compress to the cheek to reduce swelling. Call us right away.
Rinse with warm salt water several times a day. Apply a cold compress externally. Do not apply heat to the area. Call us — antibiotic treatment may be needed.
If you have the crown, you can temporarily reseat it with dental cement from a pharmacy. Avoid chewing on that side. Call us to arrange a same-day re-cementation.
Bite firmly on a clean piece of gauze for 30–45 minutes. If bleeding does not stop, call us immediately.
When you call seesmile during business hours with a dental emergency, we do everything we can to see you the same day. Once you arrive:
We examine the area, take any X-rays needed, and identify the source of your pain or damage. We will explain what is happening in plain language.
Our first priority is getting you out of pain. Depending on the situation, this may involve local anesthesia, draining an abscess, temporary fillings, or antibiotics.
Where possible, we treat the underlying problem during the same visit — fillings, root canal therapy, re-cementing crowns, repairing chips, or stabilizing a knocked-out tooth.
If your case needs additional appointments (for example, completing a root canal with a crown), we book your follow-up before you leave and provide a written treatment plan.
Emergency dental visits vary in cost depending on what is needed. Once we have examined you and identified the cause, we will provide a clear written estimate before any treatment beyond initial diagnosis begins.
We will not surprise you with a bill. After the exam, you receive a written estimate of what is needed and what it will cost — you decide whether and when to proceed.
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency exams and treatment. We review your benefits, submit claims for you, and direct-bill where your plan allows.
If you need extensive emergency treatment and want to spread the cost, we offer 0% interest financing for up to 24 months on qualifying treatment plans.
We hold space in our daily schedule for emergencies and do everything we can to see you the same day you call.
Our clinic is designed to feel calm and welcoming — not clinical or rushed. We make emergency visits as comfortable as possible.
Whatever the underlying problem, our first priority is getting you out of pain. We use local anesthesia and treat as much as possible in the first visit.
No surprise bills. We diagnose, explain, and quote in writing before any non-diagnostic treatment begins.
Open into the evening on weekdays and Saturdays, so emergencies that happen outside typical office hours can still be seen quickly.

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently if dirty. If possible, place it back in the socket. Otherwise, store it in milk or saliva and come in right away — ideally within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Over-the-counter pain medication can help short-term, but ongoing severe tooth pain usually means infection or nerve damage that will not resolve on its own. Waiting often makes treatment more complex and more expensive.
Call our main number and follow the after-hours guidance on our voicemail. For serious trauma, heavy bleeding, or a possible broken jaw, please go to a hospital emergency department first.
Yes — and that is fine. Emergencies happen to people who do not have a regular dentist all the time. We see new patients for emergencies and can continue caring for you afterward if you choose.
We hold same-day emergency appointments at our North York studio. Whatever has happened, we will work to get you out of pain today.
