Dental emergencies in Angus, Montreal: Fast and effective care
Sudden tooth pain, a broken tooth, or unexplained swelling inside the mouth are situations that require prompt consultation. Dental emergencies should never be ignored, as an untreated problem can quickly worsen and lead to complications.
At Havre Dentaire, we are available during our business hours to treat any dental emergency in the Angus neighborhood. We understand the importance of quick action to provide you with fast relief.
When should you seek emergency care?
Some situations require immediate attention to avoid persistent pain or permanent damage. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important not to wait before seeing a dentist.
Here are the most common situations:
- Intense or persistent tooth pain;
- Tooth abscess (painful swelling often accompanied by fever);
- Broken or cracked tooth following trauma;
- Tooth loss following an impact;
- Unusual and excessive bleeding gums;
- Loose filling or dental crown.
What to do in a dental emergency?
While waiting for your appointment, here are a few things you can do depending on the situation:
- Severe pain or tooth abscess: apply a cold compress to your cheek and take an over-the-counter pain reliever if necessary, but always follow the dosage instructions.
- Broken or cracked tooth: rinse your mouth with warm water and keep the pieces of tooth if possible (in a container filled with your saliva or milk).
- Knocked-out tooth: Keep the tooth in milk or your saliva and see a dentist as soon as possible so they can try to reimplant it.
- Heavy bleeding from the gums: Apply a clean compress to the source of the bleeding and maintain light pressure.
What happens during an emergency consultation?
During an emergency consultation, our team will quickly assess the situation in order to offer you the best possible solution.
Assessment of the problem
The dentist will carry out a thorough examination and, if necessary, take an X-ray to identify the cause of the pain or trauma.
Pain relief and first aid
Depending on the diagnosis, we will implement an immediate solution to relieve the pain and prevent the problem from getting worse.
Treatment plan
Depending on the situation, additional treatment may be recommended (filling, crown, root canal, extraction, etc.). We take the time to explain each step of the treatment and answer your questions to ensure you feel confident in your care.
