Care for a tooth that hurts or needs attention

The clinic's urgent dental care page covers root canal therapy and wisdom tooth removal. These are different procedures, and neither is the automatic answer to tooth pain. An examination helps identify whether a tooth can be restored, whether a wisdom tooth is causing a problem, and whether a referral is appropriate. Describe pain, swelling, fever, or injury when you contact the clinic.

Root canal therapy

Root canal therapy may be recommended when the inner tissue of a tooth is inflamed or infected and the tooth can be restored. The dentist can explain the diagnosis, the treatment stages, the final restoration, and the option of extraction. Some cases need specialist care. Ask who would perform each part of your treatment.

Wisdom tooth assessment and removal

Wisdom teeth do not all need removal. If one causes pain, repeated gum problems, or affects a nearby tooth, the dentist can assess its position and discuss monitoring, extraction, or referral. The wisdom tooth guide explains the questions to ask about the procedure and recovery.

How to contact the clinic

Call 905-264-2297 or use our contact page and explain what is happening. If you have an immediate dental concern and need triage, see the separate emergency dental service page. For difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, or serious injury, seek emergency medical care.
