Signs of a Dental Emergency

Recognizing the signs of a dental emergency can help you act quickly and potentially save your tooth. If you experience any of the following, contact us immediately.

Intense Tooth Pain

Severe, persistent toothache that doesn't respond to over-the-counter pain relief may indicate an abscess or infection requiring immediate treatment.

Swelling or Bleeding Gums

Unexplained swelling of the gums, face, or jaw, or bleeding that won't stop, can signal a serious infection or injury.

Knocked-out or Loose Teeth

A tooth that has been knocked out or become significantly loose requires urgent care. Quick action can often save the tooth.

Broken or Cracked Teeth

Fractures and cracks can expose the tooth's inner pulp to bacteria, leading to infection and further damage if not treated promptly.

Severe Jaw Pain

Intense jaw pain, difficulty opening your mouth, or jaw locking can indicate a TMJ disorder, fracture, or other urgent condition.

Our Emergency Dental Services

We provide comprehensive emergency dental services to address your urgent needs effectively and comfortably.

Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth's inner pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or injury, root canal therapy can save the tooth and relieve severe pain. Our gentle approach ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.

Emergency Tooth Extraction

When a tooth is too badly damaged or infected to save, removing it can stop the pain and keep infection from spreading. We explain every option first, and we can talk with you about replacing the tooth later with dental implants or another solution.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause significant pain and swelling. Our experienced team performs safe, comfortable extractions to resolve the issue and prevent further complications.

Broken and Chipped Tooth Repair

A chipped or broken tooth can often be repaired with tooth-coloured bonding, while larger breaks may need a dental crown to restore strength. We assess the damage, relieve any pain, and recommend the repair that best protects the tooth.

Knocked-Out Tooth Care

A knocked-out adult tooth has the best chance of being saved when it is treated quickly. Keep the tooth moist, handle it by the crown rather than the root, and call us right away so we can see you as soon as possible.

What Should I Do First for a Dental Emergency in Airdrie?

Call Sierra Springs Dental at (403) 945-4555 right away if you have severe pain, facial swelling, unstoppable bleeding, or a knocked-out adult tooth. If a tooth is out, keep it moist and get to our Main Street South clinic as quickly as you can, because quick action improves outcomes.

“When patients arrive in pain, our priority is to get them comfortable, explain what we see in plain language, and treat the source of the problem the same day whenever clinically appropriate.”
Dr. Tanya Khattra, D.D.S., Sierra Springs Dental, Airdrie

What to Expect at Your Emergency Visit

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about emergency dental care.

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

We treat emergencies such as severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, loose crowns or fillings, facial swelling, and abscesses. If you are in pain or unsure whether your problem is urgent, call us and our team will help you decide how quickly you need to be seen.

How soon should I seek emergency dental care?

As soon as possible. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved within the first hour, and swelling or infection can spread quickly. We are open seven days a week with extended weekday evenings, so call us as soon as the problem starts.

Can I walk in for emergency dental care?

Yes. Walk-in emergency patients are welcome when possible. Calling ahead at (403) 945-4555 helps our team prepare for your arrival and reduce your wait.

What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it if it is dirty, but do not scrub it. Keep it moist, ideally in milk or back in its socket if you can, and come to our clinic right away.

What payment options are available for emergency care?

We bill most insurance plans directly, follow the Alberta Dental Association fee guide, and welcome eligible CDCP and NIHB patients. Flexible payment options are also available, and we explain your costs before any treatment begins.
