Dental Emergencies

If you are having a dental emergency please call 250-295-7931 to coordinate an appointment.

A toothache can be a very painful experience that can can come in many forms at any time. Our practice goal is to see dental emergency patients the same day to alleviate pain and/or swelling.

Each emergency visit begins with a clinical exam and often a dental x-ray (if indicated) of the affected tooth. Once the dentist has determined the cause of your dental situation a discussion of treatment options will occur.

Sometimes the best course of action is no treatment or a treatment with medication or antibiotics first. Depending on the cause of the dental pain, immediate treatment involving extraction or initiation of a root canal may be required.

 

Treatment options and costs will be discussed with the patient prior to any treatment.

If you are having a dental emergency please call 250-295-7931 to coordinate an appointment.
