Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency generally includes severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked out tooth, facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, situations where prompt treatment can make a real difference.
Can you go to the emergency room for dental pain?
A hospital emergency room can help manage severe pain or infection after hours, but they typically cannot perform dental treatment, so a follow up visit with a dentist is still needed.
Is emergency dental care free in Alberta?
Emergency dental care is not automatically free in Alberta, though coverage may apply depending on your insurance or benefit plan. Our team can help clarify costs during your visit.
