Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have an emergency outside your regular hours?
If you experience a dental emergency after hours, call our office and follow the recorded instructions. We’ll let you know what steps to take and arrange to see you as soon as possible. We’re committed to providing prompt care when it matters most.
What happens after my emergency visit?
After your initial treatment, we’ll book any necessary follow-up appointments and walk you through your recovery plan. This might include additional care like a permanent crown or ongoing treatment for infection. We’ll make sure everything is explained clearly so you feel confident moving forward.
How much does emergency dental care cost?
Costs depend on the type of treatment needed, such as a filling, crown repair, or root canal. We’ll give you a clear estimate before starting any treatment and discuss your insurance coverage and payment options. Our goal is to make care accessible and stress-free, even in urgent situations.
Do you offer sedation for emergency dental procedures?
We offer local anesthesia to numb the treatment site and take every step to ensure you're comfortable during treatment. If you're feeling especially anxious, let us know. We'll work at your pace and explain everything as we go to help you feel in control and at ease.
How can I reduce the risk of dental emergencies?
The best way to prevent dental emergencies is by staying consistent with regular checkups and cleanings. We can catch small issues before they turn into big problems. Wearing a mouth guard during sports, avoiding chewing hard foods or ice, and practicing good oral hygiene at home also go a long way in protecting your smile.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part or all of emergency treatment, depending on your provider and coverage. Our team will help verify your benefits, submit claims on your behalf, and explain your options clearly, so you can focus on feeling better, not paperwork.
Do you treat kids with dental emergencies?
Yes, we welcome children of all ages and are experienced in treating dental emergencies in young patients. We know emergencies can be scary, especially for kids, so we take a gentle, reassuring approach. We also offer a play area and comfort-first care to help them feel safe and supported during treatment.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Try to keep the tooth moist. If possible, place it gently back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not an option, place the tooth in a container of milk or hold it inside your cheek. Avoid letting the tooth dry out but NEVER put it in water. Call our office immediately. Knocked-out teeth have the best chance of being saved if treated within 30 to 60 minutes.
How soon can I be seen?
We offer same-day emergency dental appointments at our Carleton Place clinic whenever possible. If you’re in pain or something feels urgent, call us right away. We’ll walk you through what to do and do our best to see you the same day, even if you're a new patient.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation where you're experiencing severe pain, active bleeding, or damage to your teeth or gums that can’t wait for a regular appointment. This could mean a knocked-out tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, facial swelling, an abscess, or a lost filling or crown that's causing pain. If you're not sure whether it's an emergency, call us—it's always better to check than wait.
