Tell us what is happening

If you have severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, bleeding, or a dental injury, call Woodbridge Dental Arts at 905-264-2297. Describe the symptoms, when they began, and whether you have fever or facial swelling. The team can explain the next available assessment and any information to bring. Appointment timing depends on current capacity, so call rather than relying on an online promise.

What can an urgent assessment involve?

The dentist may examine the area, take an X-ray if clinically needed, and explain the likely cause and immediate options. The first visit may focus on diagnosis and controlling the problem. Final care may involve a filling, root canal therapy, extraction, repair, or a referral, depending on what is found. The team should explain which step is urgent and what can be planned later.

When to seek medical emergency help

Difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious facial trauma needs emergency medical care. Do not wait for a dental appointment. If symptoms are dental but you are unsure how urgent they are, call the clinic and describe them clearly.

Preparing for the visit

Bring your medication list, allergies, relevant medical history, and any broken dental piece if available. Ask what the dentist found, which treatment options are possible, what the immediate plan is, and when to return if symptoms continue. Our dental emergency guide provides more general information.
