Urgent Dental Care with Richmond Hill Emergency Dentist

Your trusted Richmond Hill Emergency Dentist for prompt and reliable dental care in urgent situations. Experiencing dental discomfort can be unsettling, but our dental emergency in Richmond Hill team is here to provide prompt and effective care when you need it most. If you encounter severe pain or have a problematic appliance issue that you can’t address independently, don’t hesitate to call our emergency dental clinic in Richmond Hill. We’ll promptly schedule an appointment to address and resolve the issue.

 

Surprisingly, some problems can be temporarily managed until your scheduled emergency appointment. If a piece is loose, securely store it in a plastic bag for your next visit.

 

For damages on your braces, apply soft wax to the protruding part. If a wire has shifted, gently guide it back with needle-nosed pliers and secure it in the tube on the back tooth.

After mitigating discomfort, it’s crucial to contact our office promptly for a scheduled repair. Prolonging the presence of damaged appliances may disrupt your treatment plan.

Addressing general soreness

After getting braces, you may experience general soreness in your mouth for three to five days. Stick to a soft diet until the discomfort subsides. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to alleviate irritated gums. If needed, take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief, avoiding aspirin and similar medications that can impede tooth movement.

Handling loose appliances, brackets, or bands

Apply wax to any poking or loose parts for temporary relief. If a bracket or band is easily removable, save it for your next appointment. For a loose wire, try repositioning it with tweezers or floss, or use a small fingernail clipper if necessary. For a poking wire, push it down with a pencil eraser or apply wax.

 

 

Our aim is to make your emergency dental experience in Richmond Hill as seamless as possible. Contact the team at Smiles on Yonge promptly for any concerns, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
