Dental emergencies rarely strike at a convenient time — often, they happen after business hours,weekends, and holidays. While dental emergencies can cause discomfort and distress, it can be comforting knowing you have a dental partner you can turn to when in need. 

The Hope Dental Care Centre in Kanata, Ontario, understands the urgency of addressing dental emergencies. When you need emergency dental care, our team offers swift interventions to relieve pain, prevent complications, and provide long-lasting solutions. 

How we handle dental emergencies

A dental emergency is any dental situation that requires urgent dental care. Dental emergencies can’t wait until your scheduled dental appointment. The dental concerns need attention right away. Otherwise, you might lose your tooth or suffer other health complications.

Dental emergencies can range from severe toothaches, uncontrollable bleeding, knocked-out or broken teeth, and broken dental work to oral infections. Our office has the team and equipment to handle numerous dental emergencies to restore oral health. 

Depending on your dental emergency, your treatment can evolve as follows.

• Dental fillings to repair cavities and minor tooth damage
• Root canals to restore an infected or abscessed tooth
• Emergency dental extractions for badly decayed or damaged teeth
• Antibiotics and painkillers to manage infections and pain, respectively

Our dental team helps from the moment you call us. Before arriving in our office, we’ll guide you over the phone on how to manage discomfort and prevent the situation from progressing.

Preventing dental emergencies

We understand dental emergencies can’t be prevented entirely. However, certain steps can avert dental emergencies to a large extent. For instance, you don’t have to wait to see a dentist until you are in pain. Scheduling regular dental exams can prevent numerous dental woes.

Other steps you can take to prevent dental emergencies include:

• Brushing your teeth for about two minutes — at least twice daily
• Flossing at least once every night
• Wearing an athletic mouthguard if you participate in contact sports
• Limiting intake of carbonated, acidic and/or sugary foods
• Consider wearing a customized night guard if you brux teeth

Preventive dentistry comes at a cost but is usually the less costly option in the long run. Neglecting your oral health not only causes discomfort but leads to a much bigger bill down the line, not to mention anxiety-provoking dental emergencies.
