Emergency dental care is based on the cause of your pain or problem. Your dentist will recommend treatment after assessing the situation.

If your symptoms are severe or getting worse, don't delay getting professional dental advice.
Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. Contact a dentist for guidance and arrange an examination as soon as possible.
Contact the clinic first whenever possible so the team can guide you regarding appointment availability and the next appropriate step.
Antibiotics are not appropriate for every cause of tooth pain. A dentist should assess the cause and recommend treatment when needed.
