Understanding Dental Emergencies

Dental emergencies are more than just discomfort. They are urgent situations that can lead to serious complications if they are not treated right away. At Olympic Park Smiles Dental, we understand the anxiety and pain that come with unexpected dental problems. That is why we reserve time in our schedule every day for emergency and urgent visits, so our emergency dentist team can help when you need it most.

If you are in pain or have had an injury, call us right away at (403) 300-2224 and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

  • A severe or throbbing toothache.
  • A broken, chipped or cracked tooth.
  • A tooth that has been knocked out or knocked loose.
  • A lost filling or crown.
  • A dental abscess or swelling in the gums or face.
  • Bleeding or pain after an injury to the mouth.
  • Pain from a wisdom tooth or a tooth that will not stop hurting.

What to Do While You Wait

  • Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
  • Hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek to ease swelling and pain.
  • If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or hold it gently in your cheek, and bring it with you.
  • Save any broken pieces of tooth and bring them with you.
  • Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
  • Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading to your eye or neck, or heavy bleeding that will not stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental emergency is any oral issue that causes significant pain, bleeding or swelling, or puts a tooth at risk of permanent loss. If it feels urgent, it probably is, so call us right away.

A hospital emergency room can help with serious swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, and heavy bleeding, but it usually cannot treat the tooth itself. For tooth pain, call your dentist first, because we can treat the cause of the problem.

Call us right away. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it moist in milk and bring it with you, since time matters. For a broken tooth, rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold compress on your cheek.

Yes. We reserve time daily for emergency and urgent visits. Call (403) 300-2224 and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible.

The cost depends on your exam and the treatment you need, such as a filling, a root canal or an extraction. We will explain your options and the cost after we examine you, so there are no surprises.
