Dental emergencies, like other adverse and sudden medical conditions, should never be ignored. It is highly recommended that a dental professional be consulted if bleeding, swelling or any other painful sensations occur. Even injuries that seem small can affect the living tissues inside the teeth. Quick treatment improves the odds of saving injured or damaged teeth.
We provide a wide range of emergency care in Fort Saskatchewan to help you when you need it most. Here are some examples of oral emergencies or conditions that might arise:
