FAQ

Contact a dentist immediately. Handle the tooth carefully by the crown rather than the root, and follow professional guidance about keeping it moist while arranging urgent care. A holistic dentist in Calgary can also assess the injury and discuss appropriate next steps based on your oral health needs.

Not every toothache requires emergency treatment, but severe, persistent, or worsening pain should be evaluated promptly, especially when accompanied by swelling or fever.

Rinse your mouth gently and avoid chewing on the affected side. Contact our team so we can assess the damage and advise you on the next step.

If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or another potentially life-threatening symptom, seek emergency medical care immediately.
