Emergency Service
We are dedicated to putting the "care" back in dental care. You and your family are always our first priority.If you are having an emergency, we take walk-in patients and we will see you as soon as possible, and get you out of pain as soon as possible. Once you are comfortable, we will discuss short-term, and long-term solutions, to prevent a similar problem in the future. Depending on the circumstances, treatment may be provided the same day. With a denturist and orthodontist on staff, we are able to handle a wide variety of emergency dental situations.
Dental First Aid
The first thing to do in case of a dental emergency is call Burloak Centre Dentistry. Our office is conveniently located in Oakville, just a short drive from communities such as Burlington, Milton, Hamilton, and Waterdown.How Should You Care for the Tooth Until You Make It to Our Office?
- Broken or cracked tooth – Rinse your mouth gently, and save any broken off pieces of tooth.
- Knocked out tooth – Rinse your mouth and the tooth very gently. Attempt to put it back in the socket without using force. If it will not go, place it in a clean container of milk. See a dentist immediately, as there is a narrow window of opportunity for reattachment.
- Lost dental restoration – Denture adhesive or sugar-free gum may secure the restoration temporarily. If not, be sure to save it and bring it to the office with you.
- Pain – Use over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, but do not take aspirin-containing products if you are bleeding. Clove oil may be applied directly to the tooth or gums.
- Swelling – Apply a cold compress externally. Ice should always be wrapped in a towel to avoid skin injury.
