Tooth Pain You Can’t Ignore?

Get fast, effective relief with same-day emergency dental services in Fort Saskatchewan.

Toothaches don’t wait for business hours. Accidents don’t check your schedule. Whether you’re waking up with swelling, dealing with a chipped tooth, or facing a throbbing pain that came out of nowhere—dental emergencies can’t wait.

At Ross Creek Dental, we understand the urgency. That’s why we offer same-day emergency dental services in Fort Saskatchewan. Our goal is simple: get you out of pain, protect your oral health, and give you peace of mind—fast.

If you’re not sure whether your situation is a dental emergency, here’s the rule: if it hurts, it counts.

What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies aren’t always dramatic, but they’re always time-sensitive. Here are some of the most common cases we treat:

  • Severe toothache that disrupts sleep or daily life
  • Broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth
  • Swollen gums or jaw indicating an infection
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
  • Cracked or fractured teeth with sharp edges or exposed nerves
  • Bleeding in the mouth that doesn’t stop
  • Dental trauma from sports, accidents, or biting something hard

Even minor damage can lead to major issues if left untreated. When in doubt, reach out—we’ll let you know how urgent it is and what to do next.

Why Prompt Dental Care Is Critical

Waiting can make things worse. A manageable issue in the morning could turn into an emergency by night. Infections spread, nerves get exposed, and broken teeth become harder to save the longer they go untreated.

When you visit Ross Creek Dental for emergency care, our first priority is always relieving your pain. From there, we assess your needs, stabilize the issue, and help you plan next steps for recovery.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, here’s what you should do immediately—then call us:

Knocked-Out Tooth

  • Pick it up by the crown (not the root)
  • Rinse gently with water (no scrubbing)
  • Try to reinsert into the socket, or store in milk or saliva
  • Seek care within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving it

Chipped or Broken Tooth

  • Rinse your mouth with warm water
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
  • Save any broken fragments
  • Avoid chewing on the affected side

Abscess or Swelling

  • Rinse gently with warm salt water
  • Do not apply heat
  • Seek emergency care right away—this can spread quickly

Severe Toothache

  • Floss gently to check for trapped food
  • Rinse with warm water
  • Avoid aspirin directly on the gums (can cause burning)
  • Call for an immediate assessment

Dr. Cody was the best—he dealt with my extractions so professionally. Such a friendly and helpful staff at Ross Creek Dental. I will definitely be recommending this place to my family and friends. Thank you for everything.”
