What counts as a dental emergency?

  • A severe or throbbing toothache
  • A broken, cracked or knocked-out tooth
  • A lost filling or crown
  • An abscess, or swelling of the gum
  • Bleeding that continues after an extraction
  • A broken braces wire that cuts your cheek

What to do while you wait

  • Rinse with warm water and gently floss out anything stuck between your teeth.
  • Hold a cold compress on your cheek for swelling.
  • Knocked-out tooth: pick it up by the crown, keep it in milk and see a dentist right away. The sooner, the better the chance of saving it.
  • Broken tooth: keep the pieces and cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax.

Emergency dentist: frequently asked questions

How do I find an emergency dentist near me?

Search for a dentist on Doc Clik with your location. Profiles show real-time availability, so you can see which clinics near you have an opening today and book it online right away.

Can I book an emergency dental appointment online?

Yes. Booking on Doc Clik is online, free and open 24/7. Clinics often keep same-day openings for emergencies, and they show up as soon as the clinic adds them.

Is there an emergency dentist open on weekends or evenings?

Some clinics open evenings and weekends. Each clinic's profile shows its hours and its next openings, so you can book the first one that suits you.

How much does an emergency dental visit cost?

It depends on the exam and the treatment you need. The clinic can tell you its price before treating you, and your dental insurance or the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) may cover part of it.

Can I see an emergency dentist with the CDCP?

Yes. Doc Clik shows which clinics accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), so you can book one of them. What the plan covers for your visit depends on your coverage; the clinic can confirm it before treatment.

When should I go to the hospital instead of a dentist?

Go to the emergency room or call 911 for swelling of the face or neck with a fever, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a serious injury to the face or jaw. If you are unsure, call 811 to speak to a nurse.

What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?

Pick it up by the crown, not the root, keep it in milk and see a dentist right away. A tooth put back within the hour has the best chance of being saved.
