A dental emergency doesn’t wait for an opening in the schedule. If you’re in pain right now, call us at 519-252-5444. We keep time in the day for emergencies, and we’d rather you called and asked than sat at home hoping it settles.
We’re open late four nights a week and on Saturdays — Monday through Thursday until 7:00 pm, Friday until 5:00 pm, and Saturday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Most dental offices in Windsor are closed on Saturday. We aren’t.

Come in today if you have any of these
Severe or throbbing toothache. Pain that wakes you at night, or that painkillers stop touching, usually means the nerve is involved. It doesn’t resolve on its own and gets more expensive the longer it goes.
Facial swelling. Swelling in the cheek, jaw, or under the eye means infection is spreading beyond the tooth. This is the one we want to see fastest. If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room at Windsor Regional Hospital — that’s past what a dental office can safely handle.
A knocked-out adult tooth. The window here is short. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with milk or saline if it’s dirty — don’t scrub it. If you can, put it back in the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If you can’t, keep it in a cup of milk, not water. Then call us immediately.
A knocked-out baby tooth. Do not put it back in. Replanting a baby tooth can damage the adult tooth developing above it. Keep your child comfortable, press gently on the area with clean gauze if it is bleeding, and call us so we can check it.
A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth. Even if it doesn’t hurt yet, a crack lets bacteria inside. Caught early it’s usually a filling or a crown. Left alone it often becomes a root canal or an extraction.
A lost filling or crown. The tooth underneath is soft and unprotected. Keep the crown if you have it and bring it — it can often be re-cemented.
Bleeding that won’t stop, or an injury to the mouth. Especially after a fall or a hit during sport.
Preventing the injuries we see most
A lot of the chipped and knocked-out teeth we treat come from contact sport. A custom fitted mouthguard is made from a mould of your own teeth, so it sits closely, is more comfortable to wear and is far more likely to stay in during play. We make them here for adults and children, and it takes one short appointment. If someone in your family plays hockey, football, basketball, rugby or does martial arts, ask us about one before the season starts.
What it costs, and how we handle payment
We’ll tell you what a visit will cost before we do it, not after. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan and bill most insurance directly, so you’re only paying your portion at the desk. If cost is the reason you’ve been putting off getting seen, say so when you call.
Until you can get to us
For pain, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories generally work better on dental pain than plain acetaminophen — follow the package directions. Never put an Aspirin against the gum or on the tooth; it burns the tissue and doesn’t help. For swelling, use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek, 15 minutes on, 15 off. Rinse with warm salt water. Avoid very hot, very cold, and very hard foods on that side. These buy you time; none of them fix the cause.
We see emergency patients whether or not you’ve been here before. You do not need to be an existing patient.
