When to Visit for a Dental Emergency: Inova Dental’s Same-Day Care Approach

by AnthonysTeam

Dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule. Whether it’s sudden pain during dinner or a broken tooth on the weekend, knowing when to seek immediate care—and where to go—can make all the difference. At Inova Dental in Orleans, we’re proud to offer same-day emergency dental care to help our patients find fast, effective relief when it matters most.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

Not every toothache requires an emergency visit, but there are clear signs that you should see a dentist right away. Here are common examples of dental emergencies:

  • Severe or sudden tooth pain
  • Facial or gum swelling
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  • Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
  • Bleeding that won’t stop after injury or procedure
  • Abscesses or signs of infection (including fever, foul taste, or pus)
  • Lost fillings or crowns causing discomfort
  • Trauma to the mouth, lips, or jaw

If you’re experiencing any of the above, don’t wait. Delaying care can lead to complications—such as infections spreading, tooth loss, or unnecessary pain.

Same-Day Emergency Appointments at Inova Dental

At Inova Dental, we reserve time in our schedule every day to accommodate emergency cases. Whether you’re a current patient or new to our practice, we do our best to see you the same day you call.

Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Fast Response
    Call our office at (613) 834-6336 and explain your symptoms. Our front desk staff is trained to triage your case and get you the fastest appointment possible.
  2. On-Site Diagnosis
    We use digital X-rays and imaging to quickly identify the source of the problem—whether it’s a deep cavity, abscess, or broken restoration.
  3. Immediate Relief
    We focus on relieving pain first. This may include temporary treatment, medication, or beginning a procedure like root canal therapy if needed.
  4. Follow-Up Plan
    After addressing the emergency, we’ll create a personalized plan to fully restore your oral health, from permanent crowns to infection management.

Our goal is to minimize stress and discomfort while restoring your smile as efficiently as possible.

Not Sure If It’s an Emergency?

If you’re on the fence, give us a call anyway. It’s always better to have your concern assessed early. Common signs that shouldn’t be ignored include:

  • Pain that wakes you up at night
  • Swelling near a tooth or jaw
  • A tooth that feels “loose” or out of place
  • A visible pimple or bump on the gums

We’re Here When You Need Us Most

Inova Dental is proud to serve the Orleans and Ottawa East communities with fast, compassionate emergency dental care. Our experienced dentists, advanced technology, and welcoming team ensure that even the most stressful dental situations are handled with care and confidence.

Don’t suffer through pain or uncertainty. Contact us the moment a dental emergency strikes.
