When you’re in pain, everything else can wait. No matter if it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or persistent swelling, you need help now, not days from now. At Tsawwassen Family Dental, we provide fast emergency care and get you feeling better as quickly as possible. Contact us today to be seen by our emergency dentist in Delta right away.
It’s tempting to wait and hope the pain goes away, but dental problems rarely fix themselves. Infections can spread quickly and may affect other parts of your body if left untreated. And if you’ve had a tooth knocked out, acting within the first hour can make the difference between saving and losing it.
The sooner you reach out, the more we can do to protect your oral health.
Dental emergencies come in many forms, and each one needs prompt attention. Here are some of the most common situations we help patients with:
Persistent or throbbing tooth pain is often a sign of infection, decay, or nerve damage. It can quickly worsen and affect your ability to eat or sleep. We identify the root cause and provide immediate relief, often with treatments like fillings, root canals, or medication.
This is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if treated within 30–60 minutes. We’ll guide you on what to do immediately and act quickly when you arrive to try to reinsert and stabilize the tooth.
Teeth can crack or break due to accidents, biting hard foods, or existing weakness. Even small fractures can expose sensitive inner layers and lead to pain or infection. We restore the tooth’s structure and protect it from further damage.
These conditions are often caused by untreated decay, gum disease, or a bacterial infection deep inside the tooth or surrounding tissues. We will assess the source of the problem and may recommend treatments such as draining the abscess, prescribing antibiotics, or performing a root canal to eliminate the infection and save your tooth.
When a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth becomes vulnerable to sensitivity, damage, and decay. We’ll replace or repair the restoration to restore comfort and function.
Trauma, infections, or underlying gum disease can cause unexpected bleeding. We assess the cause and provide treatment to stop the bleeding and protect your oral health.
Accidents happen more often for kids. We provide gentle care for children. We also guide parents on what to do right away to protect their child’s smile.
Dental emergencies can feel overwhelming. To compensate, our process is designed to make things simple:
Tell us what’s happening. Our team will listen carefully, give you immediate guidance, and schedule you as quickly as possible, often the same day.
When you arrive, we’ll prioritize your case and get you seen quickly. We’ll take the time to understand your symptoms and concerns.
Our first goal is to stop your pain. Then we diagnose the issue and walk you through your treatment options so you can make the best decision moving forward.
When you’re in pain, you want a team you can trust; a team that cares about your comfort, too.
Our dentists handle everything from trauma and infections to restorations, all in one place.
A supportive approach is our priority to help you feel at ease.
We support most insurance plans, such as CDCP, Sun Life, Manulife, Pacific Blue Cross, and Desjardins, to make dental services accessible to anyone.
We work with the mentioned insurance providers to make the process smoother for you.
Open Monday to Thursday with evening availability to fit your schedule.
We’re proud to be a long-standing part of the Delta and Tsawwassen community, and we have honored our commitment to care for families just like yours.
Until you can see your emergency dentist, there are a few steps to take to reduce pain and improve outcomes:
Cost is an important concern, especially during unexpected situations. The exact price depends on the treatment you need, but here are some general ranges to help you plan:
Some emergency dental treatments may be partially covered by dental insurance, depending on your provider and plan details. If you’re eligible, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) may cover part or all of your treatment. Our team will help you understand your coverage and provide clear, upfront pricing before any procedure begins.
At Tsawwassen Family Dental, we offer transparent pricing and make sure you understand all costs before any treatment begins.
Not all broken teeth cause pain, but they should still be treated as soon as possible. Even minor cracks can worsen over time or lead to infection.
Unlike adult teeth, baby teeth are usually not reinserted. However, it’s still important to visit us right away so we can check for damage and ensure proper healing.
Emergency rooms can help manage severe pain or swelling, but they usually don’t provide dental treatment. It’s best to see a dentist as soon as possible for proper care.
You’re not alone. We take extra care to create a calm, reassuring environment and explain every step so you feel comfortable and in control.
We offer flexible weekday hours, including evenings. If your emergency happens outside our hours, call us, and we’ll guide you on what to do next.
