Emergency Dentistry

Severe pain or discomfort in the jaw, gums or teeth can often become unbearable. At Totem Lake Smiles we offer same-day emergency dental services and appointments to provide immediate relief and long-term dental solutions!

If you are experiencing a dental emergency:

• Calmly assess jaw, lips, teeth & gums. Look for swelling, bleeding, broken bones, and altered teeth.
• Decide if you need to call the dentist. We recommend calling if: a tooth has been pushed back or fallen out, you or you have bitten through the upper or lower lip or tongue.
• Decide if an Emergency Room visit is needed. We recommend going to the ER if: there is a broken bone or other significant injury.
• Monitor the situation from home. We recommend monitoring the situation from home if: you or your loved one is not bleeding, no major bruising or swelling has occurred, no teeth have been moved or no teeth are significantly mobile.

If you are suffering from severe pain or discomfort don’t hesitate to call us! Our accommodating team will help you schedule an emergency exam as soon as possible. We’re here to help!

"I recently had to take my mom to Totem Lake Smiles Clinic for an urgent dental issue, and I cannot recommend Dr. Patil-Ghatkar enough. We were in a bit of a panic, but she was incredibly accommodating and managed to fit us in for a last-minute emergency appointment, which we truly appreciated. The entire team at the clinic was incredibly thorough and professional. The dental assistant was great with the X-rays, and Dr. Patil-Ghatkar performed a very careful examination. She provided an accurate diagnosis of the ailment and clearly explained the recommended next steps for treatment. If you are looking for a practice where the whole staff is skilled, kind, and truly cares about their patients, I highly suggest booking an appointment here."
