What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Not sure if what you're experiencing is a dental emergency? Here are some common signs and situations that require urgent attention:

• Severe toothache or throbbing pain

• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

• Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth

• Swelling of the gums, jaw, or face

• Abscess or infection

• Lost or broken filling or crown

• Bleeding that won’t stop

• Injury to the mouth, jaw, or teeth

If you’re in doubt, call us at Horizon Dental Centre right away at 604-552-5933. We’ll help assess your situation and guide you on what to do next.

Why Prompt Emergency Dental Care Matters

Delaying treatment during a dental emergency can lead to:

• Increased pain and discomfort

• Risk of infection spreading

• Tooth loss or damage that could have been prevented

• More invasive and costly procedures later on

Getting timely care not only alleviates pain but also protects your smile from long-term complications. Our Port Coquitlam emergency dentist is here to provide immediate support with compassion and expertise.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Until you reach our clinic, here are a few tips to manage common dental emergencies:

1. Toothache or Swelling

• Rinse your mouth with warm water.

• Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek.

• Avoid applying aspirin directly to gums—it can cause burns.

• Call our clinic as soon as possible.

2. Chipped or Broken Tooth

• Save any broken pieces.

• Rinse your mouth and the pieces with warm water.

• Apply gauze if there’s bleeding.

• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.

3. Knocked-Out Tooth

• Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root).

• Gently rinse with water—do not scrub.

• Try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk.

• Get to our clinic within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.

4. Lost Filling or Crown

• Keep the crown (if you have it).

• Avoid chewing on that side.

• Temporary dental cement (from a pharmacy) can be used until your appointment.
