When to seek emergency medical care
Call 911 or go to an emergency department for trouble breathing, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial trauma or another potentially life-threatening condition. Facial or mouth swelling that is affecting breathing or swallowing requires emergency medical care.
For a dental problem without those medical warning signs, call a dental office promptly so a dentist can assess the cause and appropriate treatment.

Emergency Dental Care in Brampton
Tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a dental injury should be assessed promptly. North Bramalea Dental offers emergency dental appointments for new and existing patients when the schedule permits.
Call 905-793-5900 during office hours. Tell the team what happened, when symptoms started, whether swelling or fever is present, and whether there was an injury. You can also request an appointment online, but an online request is not a confirmed appointment and should not be used for a life-threatening emergency.
Symptoms
Common dental problems that need prompt assessment
- Severe, persistent or worsening tooth pain
- Facial or gum swelling, a bad taste, drainage or fever
- A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
- A knocked-out or displaced adult tooth
- A loose permanent tooth after an injury
- A lost filling, crown or other restoration with pain or sharp edges
- Bleeding from the mouth that does not settle with firm pressure
- Jaw pain, difficulty opening the mouth or a suspected facial injury
These symptoms can have different causes. An examination and appropriate X-rays may be needed before the dentist can recommend treatment.
While you wait
What to do before your visit
General guidance only. Call the office for advice about your situation.
What to do for a knocked-out tooth
A knocked-out adult tooth is time-sensitive. Handle it by the crown—the white part normally visible in the mouth—not by the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently in cool water without scrubbing or using soap. If it can be returned to the socket safely, place it back gently and hold it in position with clean gauze. If that is not possible, keep it in cold milk and go to a dentist immediately.
Do not try to put a knocked-out baby tooth back into the socket, because this could damage the developing permanent tooth. Contact a dentist promptly for instructions.
What to do for tooth pain or swelling
Call the dental office and describe your symptoms. Do not place aspirin or another medication directly on the tooth or gum, and do not apply heat to a swollen jaw. If you can safely take an over-the-counter pain medicine, use it only as directed on the label or by a qualified health professional. Antibiotics are not a substitute for diagnosing and treating the source of a dental problem.
If swelling spreads, symptoms worsen quickly, fever develops, or swallowing or breathing becomes difficult, seek urgent medical care.
What to do for a chipped or broken tooth
Rinse gently with water. If there is swelling, use a cold compress on the outside of the face. Save any tooth fragment and bring it with you; keeping the fragment in cold milk may be helpful. Do not chew on the affected side until the tooth is assessed.
Your visit
What happens at an emergency dental visit?
The dentist will ask about your symptoms and medical history, examine the area and take X-rays when clinically appropriate. The immediate goal is to identify the source of the problem, address urgent risks and explain reasonable options.
Depending on the diagnosis, care may include a temporary or permanent restoration, management of an infection, root canal treatment, extraction, adjustment of a damaged restoration, or referral to a dental specialist. Treatment is individualized; a same-day examination does not guarantee that every procedure can be completed at that visit.
Emergency dental care, fees and coverage
Fees depend on the examination, X-rays and treatment required. Before non-urgent treatment proceeds, the team can explain the recommended care and associated fees. Bring your dental-benefit information if you have coverage.
North Bramalea Dental accepts patients with active Canadian Dental Care Plan coverage. Coverage, co-payments and preauthorization requirements depend on the plan rules and the treatment provided. Learn more on our CDCP information page.
