Overview
A dental emergency can interrupt your day fast. Apex Dental Centre helps patients in Whitby and Durham Region understand what is happening, relieve pain where possible, and plan the next step without delay.
When to call for urgent care
Call the office if you have severe tooth pain, facial swelling, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost crown or filling that leaves the tooth sensitive.
The team will help determine whether you need a same-day appointment, short-term guidance, or a planned visit based on your symptoms.
- Toothache or pressure pain
- Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Dental swelling or suspected infection
- Lost crowns, bridges, fillings, or veneers
What happens at an emergency visit
Your dentist will focus on diagnosis first. That may include an exam, digital imaging, and a conversation about pain, medical history, and how the problem started.
Treatment may involve a filling, crown repair, root canal therapy, extraction, medication, or a follow-up plan depending on what is appropriate for the tooth and your health.
Dental pain or swelling?
Call the office as early as possible so the team can check emergency appointment availability.
Questions About Emergency Dentistry
Can Apex Dental Centre see me the same day?
Same-day emergency appointments may be available during clinic hours. Call as early as possible so the team can advise you and check the schedule.
What should I do for a knocked-out adult tooth?
Call immediately. If possible, hold the tooth by the crown, avoid scrubbing the root, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and seek urgent dental care.
Is severe swelling a dental emergency?
Yes. Dental swelling can signal infection and should be assessed quickly. If swelling affects breathing, swallowing, vision, or your general health, seek emergency medical care.
When can I call about a dental emergency?
Call during clinic hours: Monday 9 AM to 5 PM; Tuesday to Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM; Friday 9 AM to 5 PM; Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM; Sunday closed. If the clinic is closed and you have swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a facial injury, go to a hospital emergency department.
Can I use the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) here?
Yes. Apex Dental Centre accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Coverage depends on the plan rules and the treatment, so call the office to confirm what applies before your visit.
