Dental emergencies can happen to anyone, often when you least expect it. At Wetaskiwin Smiles, we provide emergency dental care for our community in Wetaskiwin and surrounding areas, including Millet, Maskwacis, and the County of Wetaskiwin. When urgent dental issues arise, our goal is to get you out of pain, restore your health, and help you feel comfortable again.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Some of the most common dental emergencies include severe or persistent toothaches, jaw pain, chipped, cracked or broken teeth, teeth that have been knocked out, lost fillings or crowns, and dental abscesses or infections that cause swelling or a 'pimple' on your gumline. If you experience uncontrolled bleeding, facial or jaw swelling, or sudden trauma to your teeth or mouth, it's important to seek care right away.
We're Here When You Need Immediate Help
We welcome emergency walk-ins and offer same-day emergency appointments when possible. Our team is ready to help whether you are a new or existing patient, and we treat children, adults, and seniors with urgent dental needs.
If you experience sudden or severe pain, noticeable swelling, or a dental injury, we encourage you to get in touch immediately. Waiting can lead to further damage or infection, making prompt treatment crucial.
How to Manage a Dental Emergency Before You Arrive
If you have sudden tooth pain or a dental emergency, you can rinse gently with warm salt water, use safe over-the-counter pain relief, avoid chewing on the sore side, and contact us for assistance as soon as possible.
What Emergency Treatments Do We Offer?
We provide a full range of emergency dental treatments, such as fillings for cavities that cause pain, root canals to save infected teeth, tooth repairs, infection management, and extractions if a tooth cannot be restored.
Root canal treatment is a common procedure in emergencies, helping to relieve pain and save severely infected or damaged teeth. We begin with gentle anesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
If a tooth cannot be saved or is causing complications, such as a severely impacted wisdom tooth, we offer efficient extraction services. Our approach is focused on minimizing discomfort and helping you recover quickly.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
Emergency dental visits can be stressful, but we understand the importance of a gentle, patient-friendly approach. Our team prioritizes your comfort, provides clear communication, and offers options for sedation to help calm anxious patients during emergency care.
Accessible, Affordable Emergency Dentistry
We know that dental emergencies should never be delayed for financial reasons. That’s why direct insurance billing is available, and we accept government benefit programs like CDCP, following the ADA Fee Guide for fair and transparent costs. We also offer 0% financing, making it easier to get the immediate care you need.
