What Are Same-Day Emergency Appointments?
When a dental emergency strikes, waiting days for an appointment isn't an option. At Tooth Bar, we reserve dedicated time slots every day specifically for emergency patients. When you call with an urgent dental problem, we prioritize getting you into the chair as quickly as possible - often within hours.
Same-day emergency appointments at our Calgary clinic provide the same level of care, technology, and attention you'd receive at any scheduled visit. The only difference is speed. We diagnose the problem, stop the pain, and begin treatment immediately so you can get back to your life.
Who Needs a Same-Day Appointment?
Same-day emergency appointments are for anyone experiencing a dental situation that can't safely wait for a regular appointment. This includes sudden, severe toothache or jaw pain, a tooth that has been knocked out, broken, or cracked, a lost filling, crown, or dental restoration, swelling in the face, gums, or jaw that may indicate infection, bleeding that won't stop after dental trauma, and a dental abscess or signs of spreading infection.
If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us. Our team will help you assess the urgency and determine the best next step.
Benefits of Same-Day Emergency Care
The most important benefit of same-day emergency care is preventing a bad situation from getting worse. A cracked tooth left untreated for days can fracture further, requiring more invasive treatment. An abscess that isn't addressed can spread to surrounding tissue or even enter the bloodstream. Prompt care limits damage, reduces pain faster, and often saves you money by catching problems before they escalate.
Beyond the clinical benefits, there's the simple relief of knowing you don't have to endure pain or uncertainty while waiting. At Tooth Bar, emergency patients are never made to feel like an inconvenience - urgent care is a core part of what we do.
What to Expect When You Call
When you call Tooth Bar with an emergency, here's what happens. First, our team takes your call and gathers information about your symptoms, when they started, and any relevant history. Based on this, we triage your situation and schedule you into the next available emergency slot - typically the same day.
When you arrive, you're seen promptly. Your dentist performs a focused examination, often including digital X-rays or imaging, to diagnose the problem accurately. Immediate treatment is provided to address pain and stabilize the situation. This might include medication, a temporary or permanent restoration, drainage of an abscess, or extraction if necessary.
Before you leave, we'll explain what happened, what was done, and what comes next. If follow-up treatment is needed, we'll schedule it before you go.
Same-Day Emergency Appointments FAQs
How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?
In most cases, we can see emergency patients the same day you call. Call us as early as possible for the best availability.
Do I need to be an existing patient?
No. We welcome both existing and new patients for emergency care. We'll gather your information when you arrive.
What should I do while waiting for my appointment?
Manage pain with over-the-counter pain relievers (avoid aspirin for bleeding). Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If a tooth was knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva.
Will my emergency visit be covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover emergency examinations and treatment. We'll verify your coverage when you arrive and discuss any costs before proceeding.
What if my emergency happens after hours?
Call our office number and follow the after-hours instructions. We'll get back to you as quickly as possible to arrange care.
