Personalized Care
Same symptom, different patient, often a different treatment. We look at your specific case before recommending anything.
Thorough Assessment
We'd rather find the actual cause than just patch the symptom and send you home to deal with it again.
Treatment You Can Understand
You'll know what's happening and why before we start. Not halfway through, not after.
Care You Can Feel Confident About
Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments in Scarborough
Toothaches don't check your calendar. A dull ache in the morning can be unbearable by dinner, and an infection can flare up seemingly overnight. When it does, Dentistry at Sullivan offers same-day appointments whenever there's room on the schedule.
Sometimes the real problem is decay that's gone deep, or an infection sitting inside the tooth itself, and that's when root canal treatment in Scarborough comes into the picture. What you actually need, though, only becomes clear once we've had a proper look.

When Should You See an Emergency Dentist?
Plenty of dental issues can wait for your next checkup. These generally can't:
-
Severe or persistent tooth pain
-
Swelling around the gums, face, or jaw
-
A suspected dental abscess or infection
-
A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
-
A knocked-out or badly loosened adult tooth
-
A lost filling or crown that's causing discomfort
-
Any trauma or injury to the mouth
-
Bleeding from the mouth that won't stop on its own
Still unsure? Call anyway. It takes a minute to explain, and either it puts your mind at ease or gets you a same-day slot.
What to Do Before You Reach the Dentist?
A few steps here genuinely help while you're on your way to us:
-
Severe toothache: rinse with warm water, skip chewing on that side.
-
Knocked-out adult tooth: hold it by the crown, keep it moist, get here fast.
-
Broken or chipped tooth: save any pieces you can find, avoid biting down on it.
-
Swelling: a cold compress against the outside of the face helps in the meantime.
-
Lost crown: keep it, bring it with you. Don't try wedging it back in yourself.
When to Seek Medical Emergency Care?
Some situations go beyond what a dental clinic can handle. Trouble breathing or swallowing, bleeding that won't stop, serious trauma to the face or head, anything that feels life-threatening, that's a 911 call or a trip to the ER, not a dental appointment.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe Toothache
Usually a sign of something underneath, decay, infection, or a crack you'd never spot on your own.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
Small cracks don't tend to stay small if you leave them alone too long.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Speed makes a real difference here. Fast action improves your chances of saving it.
Dental Abscess
An infection that won't clear up by itself and can spread if it's left untreated.
Lost Filling or Crown
Doesn't hurt much today, but waiting usually turns it into a bigger issue.
Understanding the Cost of Emergency Dental Care in Scarborough
Costs shift quite a bit depending on what's actually wrong. An initial exam with X-rays usually lands somewhere between $75 and $250. Root canals and extractions cost more and depend on the tooth involved, we'll always quote before starting anything.
A few things move the price: how serious the problem is, whether you're coming in after hours, and what your insurance or CDCP plan covers.
We examine first, then explain what's needed and what it costs before touching anything, so nothing shows up as a surprise later

Emergency Care From Our Scarborough Dental Team
An emergency visit usually starts with an exam focused on your symptoms, then X-rays if we need to see beneath the surface.
From there we check for pain, swelling, or infection, and move toward whatever fits: repairing the tooth where that's possible, a root canal if the nerve's involved, or extraction if there's really no saving it. Either way, you leave with a plan for whatever comes next.
Our dentist talks through what they're seeing at each stage before recommending anything. The point is you walk out understanding more than you did coming in, not less.
