Emergency Dentist in Brantford
A dental emergency does not wait for a convenient time, and neither do we. If you are dealing with sudden tooth pain, an injury, or a broken tooth, call Lifetime Dental right away. We prioritize urgent care for existing and new patients wherever possible, so you are not left waiting in pain.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency
A dental emergency can include any of the following:
Severe or sudden tooth pain A knocked out tooth A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth A lost filling or crown Facial or gum swelling Bleeding that will not stop An abscess or signs of infection Injury from a fall, sport, or accident
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as urgent, call our office and describe your symptoms. Our team will guide you on the right next step.
What to Do Before You Reach Us
Knocked Out Tooth
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and avoid touching the root itself. If it is dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. If possible, try placing it back into the socket. If that is not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation product, and call us immediately. Time matters here, so please call right away.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Tooth
Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and save any broken pieces if you can find them. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face if there is swelling, and avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. Call our office as soon as possible so we can assess the damage and determine the right treatment.
Severe Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water and gently floss around the area to check for trapped debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum or tooth. Call our office promptly, since ongoing pain can sometimes signal infection that needs urgent attention.
Lost Filling or Crown
If possible, keep the crown or filling in a safe container and bring it with you to your appointment. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and call our office as soon as you can.
Swelling or Signs of Infection
Facial swelling, especially combined with fever or pain, can indicate infection and should be treated as an emergency. Call our office right away so we can determine whether you need to be seen immediately.

What Our Brantford Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you accept emergency patients who are not already registered with your office?
Yes. We prioritize urgent care wherever possible for both existing and new patients.
2. What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, avoid touching the root, rinse gently if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and call us immediately.
3. What if my child knocks out a baby tooth?
Do not try to place a baby tooth back into the socket, since this may damage the developing adult tooth underneath. Call our office for guidance.
4. Can a broken tooth always be repaired?
Often yes, depending on the extent of the damage. Treatment may include bonding, a filling, a crown, or other restorative care. Call us as soon as possible so we can assess your specific situation.
5. How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
We do our best to see urgent cases the same day whenever possible. Call our office right away and we will guide you on next steps.
6. What if I am not sure whether my situation is a real emergency?
