Dental Emergencies
Emergency Dental Care in Oshawa
Open Saturdays & Late Hours
Immediate Relief for Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can happen at any time — during a meal, a sporting event, or even in the middle of the night. When you’re in pain, experiencing bleeding, or have suffered trauma to your mouth or teeth, you need a dentist who can respond quickly and effectively. Our clinic in Oshawa provides emergency dental services with extended hours and Saturday availability, so you can get help when you need it most.
Our goal is to alleviate your pain, restore your dental health, and reduce your anxiety — all in a calm, welcoming, and supportive environment.
Emergency Dentist Open on Saturdays and Evenings
Most dental offices close on weekends and stick to 9-to-5 hours. That can be incredibly frustrating when you’re in pain on a Friday evening or Saturday morning.
Our emergency dental clinic is open late on weekdays and alternate Saturdays, providing crucial care outside typical office hours. You shouldn’t have to wait until Monday to get relief from a severe toothache or a broken tooth. We offer same-day emergency dental treatment for both new and existing patients in Oshawa and surrounding communities.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or jaw that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent permanent damage. If you’re unsure whether your issue qualifies, it’s better to call us and explain the symptoms. Here are the most common dental emergencies we treat:
➤ Severe Toothache
Persistent or sudden tooth pain may be a sign of deep decay, infection, or nerve damage. If your pain is sharp, throbbing, or keeps you up at night, it needs immediate attention.
➤ Lost or Broken Filling
If a filling falls out or breaks, it can expose the inner part of the tooth to bacteria, leading to infection or further decay. We can repair or replace it quickly to protect the tooth.
➤ Chipped or Broken Teeth
Fractured teeth may result from biting something hard, an accident, or grinding your teeth. Early treatment can restore function and prevent the break from worsening.
➤ Knocked-Out Tooth
A tooth that’s been knocked out in a fall or sports accident is a true dental emergency. If you get to the clinic within 30–60 minutes, there’s a chance we can reimplant the tooth.
➤ Gum or Tooth Abscess
An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by infection. It often results in pain, swelling, and sensitivity. Left untreated, it can spread to other areas of the face or bloodstream.
➤ Oral Infections and Swelling
Facial swelling, pain when chewing, or difficulty swallowing can signal a serious infection in the teeth or jaw. These require prompt evaluation and treatment.
➤ Tooth Trauma from Sports Injury
We frequently treat hockey injuries and other sports-related dental trauma. Whether it’s a loose tooth or a fractured root, our emergency dentist can assess and treat the damage.
➤ Emergency Root Canal
Infections inside the tooth may need a root canal procedure to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth. If you’re experiencing sensitivity to hot/cold, pain while biting, or swelling, call us immediately.
➤ Orthodontic Emergencies
Brackets that fall off, wires poking into your cheeks, or appliances causing sores or pain may need adjustment. We offer urgent orthodontic care for both kids and adults.
➤ Emergency Tooth Extraction
When a tooth is beyond repair due to trauma, infection, or damage, extraction may be necessary. We offer same-day extractions when urgent removal is the safest option.

What to Do Before You Arrive
While you’re on your way to the clinic, there are steps you can take to protect your teeth and reduce pain:
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root). Rinse gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk or inside your cheek to keep it moist.
- Broken Tooth or Filling: Rinse your mouth with warm water. Use dental wax or sugarless gum to cover any sharp edges until you’re seen.
- Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
- Abscess or Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face. Do not try to pop or drain the area yourself.
- Orthodontic Issue: If a wire is causing irritation, cover it with orthodontic wax or a small piece of cotton. Avoid trying to cut it yourself.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
When you arrive at our clinic for a dental emergency, we will:
- Listen to your concerns and ask about your symptoms.
- Examine the affected area and take any necessary digital X-rays.
- Diagnose the issue and explain what is happening and why.
- Provide pain relief immediately — through numbing agents, medication, or urgent treatment.
- Create a treatment plan to resolve the emergency and protect your long-term dental health.
We’ll answer all your questions, provide aftercare instructions, and help you schedule follow-up appointments if needed.
