FAQ: Emergency Dentist

When should I call an emergency dentist in Downtown Toronto?

If you have severe pain, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or signs of infection, call right away. Waiting can sometimes make the problem more complicated.

Can I be seen the same day?

Many urgent cases can be scheduled quickly, but availability depends on the day and severity of your symptoms. The fastest route is to contact Smiles of Kensington Dental as soon as possible.

What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?

Time matters. If possible:

Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root)
Rinse gently with water if dirty (don’t scrub)
Try to place it back in the socket
If you can’t, keep it in milk and go to an emergency dentist immediately

Can emergency dentists treat tooth infections and abscesses?

Yes. Infections and abscesses often require urgent attention to reduce pain and prevent spread. Treatment depends on what’s causing the infection.

What if my crown or filling fell out?

A missing filling or crown can cause sensitivity, pain, or expose the tooth. Emergency care may involve stabilizing the tooth and restoring protection as soon as possible.

Is a toothache always a root canal?

Not necessarily. A toothache can happen for many reasons—cracks, lost fillings, gum issues, or infection. After an exam and X-rays, Smiles of Kensington Dental can recommend the best option.

What can I do at home while I wait?

You can:

Rinse gently with warm salt water
Use a cold compress for swelling
Avoid chewing on that side and stick to soft foods

For pain relief, follow label directions and consider asking a clinician first if you have medical conditions or take blood thinners.

How long will it take to get relief?

Many patients feel improvement after emergency treatment, especially if swelling or exposed tooth structures are addressed. Your exact timeline depends on the cause.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent from beginning to end. I went in for a cleaning and the first hygienist polished them and the second hygienist named Maya cleaned them. So professional and friendly! I will go back there for sure 😀

I need to send another review as my experience today was again a 10 out of 10! From the woman at the reception to Phu doing my cleaning and making me laugh, to Yin the Dr's ssistant who is  amazing and then Dr Meeti! She is incredible, she fixed my smile and made my anxiety of the dentist chair disappear. Everyone should come here, it's the best!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a patient at Smiles of Kensington for the past two years, and my experience has been consistently excellent from start to finish.

Denise, was absolutely incredible professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in my progress. She made me feel supported the entire time and always took the time to explain everything clearly.

The doctor and the entire team were just as impressive, organized, responsive, and always on top of my treatment. I felt reassured at every step, which made a huge difference.

The results speak for themselves. My smile is noticeably straighter, and I feel much more confident.

Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Smiles of Kensington to anyone looking for quality care and real results.
