Emergency Dentist in Maple Ridge, BC

Dental emergencies can be scary, especially when they involve your child. But knowing how to respond can make a massive difference. At Meadow Ridge Dental Centre, we offer children’s dentistry in Maple Ridge and are here to help when urgent situations arise.

If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, chipped tooth, severe toothache or swelling, stay calm and please contact us immediately. Acting quickly can prevent further damage and relieve pain.

Here’s what to do in common dental emergencies:

• Knocked-out tooth (adult tooth) — Rinse the tooth gently and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to our clinic ASAP.
• Toothache — Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the gums.
• Chipped or broken tooth — Save any pieces, rinse the mouth and apply a cold compress.
• Swelling or infection — This may indicate an abscess, which needs prompt treatment. Please call us right away.

Dental emergencies happen suddenly. Knowing how to respond, including where to find immediate professional care, can make all the difference in relieving pain, preventing permanent damage, and protecting your oral health.

Identifying Dental Emergencies

Some situations should never be ignored. These include:

• Severe, persistent, and unrelenting tooth pain
• Loose or knocked-out adult teeth
• Unexplained and/or uncontrolled swelling or bleeding in the gums
• Signs of infection, like pus or fever
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Lost fillings or crowns
• Dental trauma from an accident or sports injury

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

In a dental emergency, the first step is to call your dentist at (604) 467-5944 as soon as possible. Describe your symptoms clearly so the team can determine how quickly you need to be seen. If dental pain is accompanied by facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or signs of infection spreading, seek urgent dental or medical care right away. Prompt treatment helps prevent complications and preserves your smile.

If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and either place it back in its socket or store it in milk until you reach the dental office. For swelling or pain, applying a cold compress can help reduce discomfort while you wait for care. Always avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as this can cause tissue irritation.
