Emergency Dentistry in Vancouver

From a severe toothache or swollen gums to a broken crown or damaged teeth, dental emergencies strike when you least expect them. At Wesbrook Village Dental Centre, we understand the pain and anxiety a dental emergency can cause, which is why we’re here to help! Call us when you are having a problem, and we’ll try to schedule you on the same day to provide the necessary treatment.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

There are several conditions that qualify as a dental emergency. They include:

• Severe toothache
• An abscessed tooth
• Swollen gums
• Gum discolouration
• Broken or damaged teeth
• Broken crowns or lost fillings
• An impact to the jaw
• Missing teeth

Even if you are not experiencing any pain, some of these conditions may indicate the presence of larger problems, so it’s always best to take precautions by visiting your local dentist.

How to Tackle a Dental Emergency After Hours

You never know when a dental emergency will occur, and problems that happen after clinic hours can be a major cause for concern. In such cases, you can call our clinic and leave a message, and we’ll call you back the next business day. However, for situations that are urgent, we recommend visiting your nearest hospital emergency room for immediate dental care.
