Preventing Dental Emergencies

Preventing a dental emergency is the best way to avoid them. And this is achieved through regular comprehensive dental exams, so ensure you book an appointment with Dr. Rahul Mathur today! Your dental exam includes checking for signs of weakened teeth, loosened or aging restorations and early signs of infection. 

If you participate in sporting activities that could affect your oral health, we encourage you to wear a custom mouthguard, regardless of age. Research shows a large percentage of dental injuries are sports related. A custom mouthguard can prevent many of these injuries. 

We know emergency dental services require immediate attention. That’s why Emergency Dentistry is one of the many dental health services we offer at 8th Street Dental.

Emergency Dentist FAQ

What’s considered a dental emergency, and when should I see an emergency dentist?

A dental emergency can include severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth, broken restorations, or bleeding that won’t stop. If you’re experiencing sudden, intense discomfort or trauma to your mouth, our emergency dentist team is here to assess and treat your concerns promptly.

Do you offer same-day appointments for dental emergency services in Airdrie?

Yes! We strive to provide timely care and will do our best to see you as soon as possible on the day you call, especially for true dental emergencies. Just reach out to our reception team, and we’ll guide you through the next available appointment.

What should I do if I have a knocked-out or loose tooth before I get to your office?

If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, gently rinse it (don’t scrub), keep it moist, and bring it with you — time matters! For a tooth that’s loose but still in place, avoid eating on that side and contact us right away. Our emergency dentist can often save the tooth with quick intervention.

Does my dental insurance cover emergency dental visits?

Many dental plans include coverage for emergency exams and treatments when you visit an emergency dentist. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your specific plan, but we’re also happy to help you navigate your coverage so you get the most from your benefits.

What if my emergency happens after hours or on a weekend?

We understand that dental emergencies don’t always conveniently happen during business hours! So if your situation is urgent, call our office — we’ll provide instructions for next steps and, when necessary, connect you with supportive care or emergency resources.

How can I prevent a dental emergency in the future?

Routine care — such as regular exams, cleanings, and early treatment of minor issues — goes a long way toward keeping your smile healthy and preventing unexpected problems. But if a dental emergency does arise, we’re here to help with compassionate, prompt dental emergency services in Airdrie.
