What's Considered An Emergency?

Not sure if what you're experiencing is a true dental emergency? Here's a quick guide to help you decide. If you're experiencing any of the following, it’s best to contact our team right away:

  • Severe tooth pain or ongoing soreness

  • Cracked tooth, chipped tooth, or broken teeth

  • Knocked-out tooth or lost tooth due to trauma

  • Lost fillings or damaged crowns

  • Gum infections, swelling, or facial trauma

  • Bleeding that won’t stop

  • Tooth pain accompanied by fever or swollen lymph nodes

When in doubt, it’s always better to act quickly and reach out to an emergency dentist. Delaying treatment can lead to further damage and more complex procedures down the road.

When To Go To The ER

Not all dental emergencies can or should be handled in a dental office. Some situations require urgent medical care beyond what a dentist can provide. If you’re experiencing any of the following, head to your nearest hospital or emergency room right away:

  • Uncontrollable bleeding

  • Severe facial trauma or broken jaw

  • Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing

  • High fever with visible swelling in the face or neck

These signs may indicate a serious infection or injury that requires immediate medical attention. Hospitals can provide rapid stabilization. Afterward, our team at Shine Dental can step in with the necessary follow-up dental care to restore your comfort, function, and smile.

What To Do In Case Of An Emergency

Knowing what to do in those critical moments can make all the difference. Acting quickly helps preserve your teeth and prevents further damage. Here are some quick tips until you can see a dentist in Winnipeg:

  • Knocked-out tooth: Gently rinse the tooth, place it in cold milk, and call us immediately. Time is critical! If it’s possible, replanting it may be a great solution.

  • Cracked or chipped tooth: Rinse with lukewarm salt water and avoid chewing on that side to prevent worsening the damage.

  • Severe toothache: Try rinsing with warm salt water and take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums, as this can cause irritation.

  • Lost filling or crown: If possible, keep the piece and avoid chewing on that side. Temporary dental cement (available at most pharmacies) may help protect the tooth until your appointment.

Our goal is to see emergency patients as soon as possible, often on the same day you call. If you're unsure what to do, don’t hesitate to contact us for advice.
