Emergency Dentistry

At Summit Dental we care about our patients and want to make sure we are available to help you with any dental emergency when you need us. Please contact us at (403) 201-0588 as soon as possible.

At Summit Dental, we consider that any situation in which you are experiencing pain or discomfort qualifies as a dental emergency and should be treated as such.

Since a dental emergency can be a frightening experience.  If you are experiencing pain from a sudden or a lingering toothache, a fractured or knocked-out tooth, or an accident that involves the teeth and/or jaw should be treated by your dentist immediately.

At Summit Dental, we reserve time in our daily schedule for dental emergencies and will accommodate both existing patients and those that are unable to see their regular dentist in a timely manner. We will provide you with assistance over the phone and advise you on how to remain as comfortable as possible until you are able to be seen by one of our dentists.

The following are the most common reasons for patients to call our South Calgary Emergency Dental number:

• Are you had a tooth knocked out?
• Do you have a chipped, cracked or broken tooth?
• Have you bitten your lip or tongue?
• Do you have a loose tooth
• Are you experiencing an infection or do you have abscessed tooth or gums?
• Are you suffering a toothache?
• Do you have a loose restoration, such as a dental crown, filling or bridge?
• Have you recently had dental work done and are experiencing pain or discomfort?

Preventing Dental Emergencies

We’d like to see all of our patients avoid facing the stress of a dental emergency.

The best way to prevent dental emergencies from occurring is to see your Summit Dental dentist regularly for dental exams. This may be the most important preventative action you can take. During your dental exam, our dentists are naturally checking for signs of weakened teeth, loosened or aging restorations and early signs of inflammation that would indicate the presence of infection and the possibility of periodontal disease.

Another important preventative action you can take to avoid dental emergencies is to wear a properly fitting mouth guard while playing contact sports. Wearing a properly fitting mouth guard can prevent many of dental injuries.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please call our office immediately at (403) 201-0588.

Our practice always welcomes new patients no referral is required!
