Emergency Dentistry in Calgary, AB

A dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that causes significant pain, discomfort, or risk and requires prompt professional attention to prevent further damage or complications.

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as a dental emergency, the answer is simple: if something doesn't feel right and you're in pain or distress, call us. We'd always rather you reach out and let us help you decide than wait and let the problem worsen.

• Severe Toothache - Sudden, severe tooth pain is one of the most common dental emergencies. It can indicate an infection, abscess, deep decay, or a cracked tooth, all of which require prompt attention. Don't wait it out. Contact Rō today.
• Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth - A chipped or broken tooth can be painful, sharp, and depending on severity, a risk to the surrounding teeth and tissue. Whether it's a minor chip or a significant break, our Calgary team will assess the damage and provide the most appropriate treatment promptly.
• Knocked-Out Tooth - A knocked-out tooth is one of the most time-sensitive dental emergencies. The faster you act, the better the chance of saving the tooth. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown only, keep it moist, and contact us immediately. Time is critical.
• Lost or Broken Filling or Crown - A lost filling or broken crown leaves the underlying tooth exposed and vulnerable. While not always immediately painful, it should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage or infection.
• Dental Abscess or Infection - A dental abscess, a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gums, is a serious condition that requires urgent treatment. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, fever, and a persistent bad taste in the mouth. If you suspect an abscess, contact us immediately, dental infections can spread if left untreated.
• Soft Tissue Injury - Lacerations or injuries to the gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue that are bleeding significantly or causing significant pain should be assessed promptly. Apply gentle pressure to the area and contact our Calgary team as soon as possible.
• Severe Swelling - Swelling in the jaw, gums, or face, particularly if accompanied by pain, fever, or difficulty swallowing, requires urgent dental attention. Don't wait to see if it resolves on its own.
• Object Caught Between Teeth - If something is lodged between your teeth and cannot be removed by gentle flossing, contact our team rather than attempting to dislodge it with sharp objects, which can cause further damage.
• Lost Temporary Veneer or Crown - If you're mid-treatment and a temporary restoration is lost or damaged, contact our Calgary team as soon as possible so we can protect the prepared tooth and keep your treatment on track.
