Emergency Dentist in Saint-Laurent

Go right away for severe or worsening tooth pain, facial or gum swelling, bleeding that will not stop, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, or a lost crown or filling that leaves a sharp edge. Swelling that spreads toward the eye or throat, or that comes with fever or difficulty swallowing or breathing, is urgent — go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Pick the tooth up by the crown, never the root. Rinse it gently with milk or saline if it is dirty — do not scrub it. If you can, place it back in the socket and bite softly on a clean cloth; otherwise keep it in milk or saliva and call us right away. A tooth replanted within about an hour has the best chance of survival.

Most dental insurance plans cover emergency examinations and treatment, though coverage levels vary by plan. We bill most insurers directly and will explain your estimated out-of-pocket cost before we begin treatment.

Yes. You do not need to be an existing patient. We treat emergencies for people across Ville Saint-Laurent, Montréal and the West Island, and you are welcome to stay on as a regular patient afterward.

Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek for 15 minutes at a time, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the package if it is safe for you. Never place aspirin directly on the gum — it burns the tissue. These steps manage symptoms only; the underlying problem still needs treatment.
