Our Emergency Dental Treatments in Scarborough
Severe Toothache Relief
(Pulpitis & Decay)
If a severe internal tooth infection is causing unrelenting pain or an abscess, emergency root canal treatment at Lawrence Dental Centre can remove the infection and save the tooth.
Broken or Chipped
Tooth Repair
Pain with biting or a visible break needs immediate care. Avoid chewing and seek care right away — we restore your tooth with bonding, veneers, or crowns same day.
Lost Fillings & Crown
Repair
Sensitivity and discomfort mean your tooth is exposed. We re-cement crowns or place temporary protection the same day to prevent further damage.
Dental Abscess & Infection Treatment
Swelling, fever, or bad taste indicate a possible abscess that needs drainage. Antibiotics alone are not enough — prompt treatment at Lawrence Dental Centre prevents spread.
Knocked-Out Tooth
(Avulsed Tooth) Care
Keep the tooth moist at all times. Place it in a small container of milk or gently hold it under your tongue. Avoid touching the root. Visit within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Soft Tissue Injuries & Oral Bleeding
Apply clean gauze to the area and press gently but firmly. If bleeding continues for more than 15 minutes, call us immediately to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
