About Dental Emergency Care
A dental emergency covers a range of urgent situations, from severe tooth pain and facial swelling to a knocked out or badly broken tooth. These situations often need prompt attention to relieve pain, prevent further damage, or save a tooth that might otherwise be lost. Royal Oak Smiles provides same day emergency dental services, with a team ready to assess and treat urgent situations as they arise.
What is Condition
Dental emergencies can stem from several causes, a tooth requiring root canal treatment due to infection, a wisdom tooth extraction needed urgently due to pain or swelling, a knocked out tooth from an accident, or a severe toothache signaling an underlying infection. Not every dental issue is a true emergency, but severe pain, swelling, bleeding that won't stop, or a knocked out tooth all warrant immediate attention.
Symptoms and Causes
- Severe or sudden tooth pain
- Facial or gum swelling
- A knocked out, loose, or badly broken tooth
- Bleeding in the mouth that won't stop
- A lost filling or crown causing pain or sensitivity

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Severe tooth pain, facial or gum swelling, a knocked out or badly broken tooth, and bleeding that won't stop are all situations that warrant prompt attention rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Hospital emergency rooms can help manage severe pain or address trauma, but they typically aren't equipped to treat the underlying dental issue. For most dental emergencies, contacting a dentist directly, like our same day emergency appointments, gets you the actual treatment you need faster.
Alberta's provincial health plan does not typically cover dental care, including emergencies, dental coverage generally comes through private insurance or employer benefits. We direct bill most major Alberta insurance providers and are a participating provider for CDCP and NIHB for those who qualify.
Royal Oak Smiles is open Sundays from 10 AM to 4 PM, along with the rest of the week, so emergency care is available even on weekends when many other clinics are closed.
