What To Do In A Dental Emergency
When a dental emergency strikes, it can be painful and stressful. Whether it’s a sudden toothache or a knocked-out tooth, knowing you have a trusted dental team ready to help makes all the difference. Spy Hill Dental Clinic in NW Calgary is proud to offer same-day emergency appointments to provide quick relief and expert care when you need it most.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies come in many forms, but they all have one thing in common—they require immediate attention. Some of the most common emergencies include:
- Toothaches: Pain caused by an infection, cavity, or abscess
- Broken or chipped teeth: Often the result of trauma or injury
- Knocked-out teeth: Prompt care increases the chances of saving the tooth
- Damaged dental work: Issues with crowns, bridges, or fillings that need urgent repair
If you’re unsure whether your issue qualifies as an emergency, it’s always better to call and ask. Acting quickly can prevent further complications and ensure you get the necessary care.

What to Do Before Your Appointment
While you’re waiting to see us, here are a few tips to manage your situation:
- For toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and use over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.
- For knocked-out teeth: Gently rinse the tooth with water or milk and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva until your appointment.
- For damaged dental work: Keep the crown or filling safe and avoid chewing on the affected side.
