What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency would be anything that you as a patient are very worried about. The primary instances that we handle are when patients have a toothache, an infection and/or swelling, bleeding from their gums, or a cracked filling or crown. Even a dislodged crown is considered an emergency dental situation.
When do I need to see an emergency dentist versus going to an emergency room versus scheduling a regular dental appointment?
An emergency dental visit becomes necessary when you have a toothache, an infection or swelling, a cracked filling, or if something has fallen out of your mouth. If you have any of these concerns, we would want to see you right away to evaluate and address the issue.
You should go to an emergency room if you have large swelling, especially if it's in your neck, as this could potentially restrict your ability to breathe and become a life-threatening situation. If you're starting to develop a fever due to your dental infection, it indicates that the infection is spreading elsewhere in the body and needs immediate attention. Another critical symptom is trismus, which is the inability to open your mouth. If you're unable to open your mouth, it's a sign of a severe infection that requires immediate treatment. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should go to your nearest emergency room as soon as possible.
For routine visits, you should schedule these when you're not experiencing any pain or any issue. These visits are meant to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and you can schedule them at any time by simply giving us a call at (204) 817-6768.

Dental Diagnosis
Understanding the source of your pain or discomfort is crucial because issues in the mouth often stem from multiple sources. Our dental diagnosis procedures enable our skilled dentists to thoroughly investigate symptoms, pain, or swelling, in order to identify the root cause.
Root Canals
Root Canals are a great way to save your tooth from being removed. You might not think so, but your teeth are also susceptible to infection. When a tooth becomes sick and the pulp becomes infected, the disease can cause pain and spread, causing damage in other areas.
Tooth Extraction
Our main goal in dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth and to help you keep them for as long as possible. There are times, however, when it is in your best interest to have a tooth extracted by a trained dentist or oral surgeon.
Wisdom Teeth
Do you have a problem with your wisdom teeth? If you are experiencing pain or discomfort from impacted, crowded, or infected wisdom teeth it is time to take action!
