What is considered emergency treatment?
Emergencies are:

  • Pain, not resolved by over-the-counter medications
  • Prolonged bleeding
  • Trauma (to areas of the mouth or teeth)
  • Significant infection

Emergency treatment may also be considered at the dentist’s discretion to avert or avoid a potential emergency or negative outcome.

What happens if I have an emergency?
If you have a dental emergency, please contact our emergency hotline at 519-442-4452. Calls are being answered between 8-4, Monday to Friday and for after-hours care, please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible. Many emergency situations can be managed without an in-office visit. For those emergencies that do require in-office treatment, we will schedule your emergency care.

I have a regular appointment booked soon, will it be rescheduled?
All upcoming appointments have been cancelled and will be rescheduled as soon as we are able to re-open. You do not need to call us about rescheduling. Rest assured, we will be in contact with you once we know a re-opening date.
