What to do right now
1. Call us first
Tell us what happened and we'll hold a same-day slot for you. We'll stay with you on the phone and guide you on exactly what to do while you head over.
2. Ease the pain
Rinse gently with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed. Hold a cold compress against your cheek to bring down any swelling.
3. Protect the tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, place it in milk and hold it by the crown — never the root. Save any broken pieces and bring them with you.
Emergency Treatments
Same Day, Same Visit
If you’re in pain or unsure whether this is urgent use this quick checklist below.
Severe toothache & infection
Root canal removes the infection and stops your pain in one visit. No referral is needed.
Abscess and Facial Swelling
Antibiotics alone will not fix this. Drainage and treatment stops the spread, right away.
Lost Crown or Filling
Temporary or permanent coverage placed same day. Tooth protected and fully pain free now.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Restored with bonding, veneer, or same-day crown. Do not wait as cracks will spread fast.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Keep in milk and come within 30 minutes. We can reimplant and save the tooth.
Soft Tissue and Bleeding
Bleeding or lacerations need professional dental care right away to prevent an infection.
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.
