First aid
Here's what to do right now.
Call us
Even if you're not sure it's an emergency. We'll guide you.
For pain
Over-the-counter ibuprofen (200–400 mg, with food, if you're not allergic). Avoid aspirin if there's bleeding.
For swelling
Cold compress on the cheek, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
For a knocked-out tooth
Handle by the crown only (not the root). Keep it moist in milk or saliva. Get to us within 60 minutes.
Comfort
We understand dental anxiety — sedation is one tool when clinically appropriate.
At the emergency visit itself, pain control is local anesthesia. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be available the same day when clinically appropriate. Oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia need fasting, clinical indication, and provider availability — we schedule those as a follow-up, not as same-visit emergency care.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Our team is happy to help over the phone.
(416) 483-0000What counts as a dental emergency?
Anything causing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or risk to your teeth or jaw. Common emergencies: severe toothache, facial swelling from infection, knocked-out tooth, broken tooth with sharp edges or pain, lost crown or filling causing pain, dental trauma from accident, and uncontrolled bleeding after extraction. If you're not sure, call us — we'll help you decide.
Can I come in at 3 AM?
Our new-patient admissions run from 6 AM to 2 AM the next morning — 20 hours a day. If you were admitted before 2 AM, we stay until your treatment is complete — that's our standing policy, even past 2 AM. Between 2 AM and 6 AM we don't admit new patients (our team sterilizes and prepares the clinic) — but you can still call and leave us a message, and we'll call you back when admissions reopen at 6 AM. If a true emergency happens in that window, go to your nearest hospital emergency room.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome for emergencies whenever a chair is open — usually within an hour or two. Calling first is faster because we can have your chart ready and reserve a slot.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
Our emergency exam fee follows the ODA Suggested Fee Guide. Most insurance plans cover the exam fully. We always give you a written estimate before starting any work. We accept CDCP, direct-bill all major insurers, and offer payment plans.
Can I be sedated for my emergency visit?
At the emergency visit itself, the realistic option is nitrous oxide, where clinically appropriate. Deeper sedation (oral, IV, or general anesthesia) is scheduled as a planned follow-up visit because it requires fasting and provider availability.
I knocked out my tooth — what should I do?
Time matters: a knocked-out adult tooth has a 60–90 minute window for reimplantation. Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with milk or saliva. Call us on your way.
My face is swelling — should I go to the ER instead?
If swelling is closing your eye or affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to the ER immediately. Otherwise, call us first — we can usually see you same-day.
I'm not nearby — do you take patients from across the GTA?
Yes — emergency patients come to us from across the GTA because very few clinics admit new patients 20 hours a day. We're a 30-second walk from Lawrence subway station on Line 1.
