What Constitutes an Emergency?
Dental emergencies can be defined in several ways. It is not just pain or a sore tooth that defines an emergency, there are other factors to consider. You can always contact one of our dentists in our clinic or office for an appointment if you need to. Our experienced dentists can offer you assistance with all kinds of dental needs.
For example, a lost filling exposes an already damaged tooth which can lead to even further degradation if left unchecked. Our experienced emergency dentist Winnipeg team have collectively dealt with hundreds of different emergency scenarios and their experience can be your benefit.
Some of the common dental emergencies we can assist you with:
- Chipped Tooth
- Cracked Tooth
- Broken Tooth
- Knocked Out Tooth

Can You Go To The ER For A Dental Emergency?
There are some situations in which the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority recommends that you go to the emergency room for urgent dental care. Specifically, the agency recommends this course of action if your face is extremely swollen, or if you took a direct blow to your jaw or teeth. You should also go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital if you cannot stop the bleeding in your mouth following a dental procedure or injury.
If You Visit the Emergency Room
The doctor at the emergency room will evaluate the extent of the damage to the best of his or her ability and make a referral to the most appropriate service. If you have dental insurance, be sure to request the emergency dentist on call. If you don’t, your insurance coverage may be denied.

Quick Guide to Dental Emergencies
In some cases, there are a few things you can do to prevent further damage during a dental emergency.
Lost Tooth or Knocked Out Tooth
Time is critical.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root.If you have the tooth, do NOT rinse it in cold water.
Gently rinse it with warm water only.
If possible, carefully place it back in the socket and bite down gently on a clean cloth.
If you cannot reinsert it, place it in a glass of milk (preferred) or water.
Go to the dentist immediately.
The faster you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
Broken/Cracked Tooth
These teeth can sometimes be preserved.
Collect any loose pieces.
Rinse your mouth with warm water.
Apply gentle pressure if there is bleeding.
See your dentist as soon as possible.
Toothache
Rinse and soothe the area.
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if there is swelling.
- Do NOT place aspirin directly on the gum.
- Contact your dentist as soon as possible.
Lost Crown
If you still have the crown, try gently placing it back over the tooth.
Bite down lightly on a clean cloth to hold it in place.
If you cannot reinsert it, bring it with you.
Contact your dentist right away.
Lost Filling
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
If possible, place sugar-free gum over the exposed area temporarily.
Schedule a dental visit as soon as possible.
Swelling with Fever or Trouble Breathing or Swallowing
This can be a medical emergency.
Go immediately to the nearest emergency room if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or if swelling is spreading. Some infections require immediate medical attention.

Severe jaw injuries require hospital-level care and may involve emergency surgery.
If it can't wait until morning
- Trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that’s spreading toward your eye or down your neck, fever with facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding — go to your nearest emergency room immediately, or call 911. These can become serious quickly and need medical attention the same night.
