Whether your pain is caused by decay, infection, a cracked tooth, or an injured nerve, our team is ready to help with a same-day appointment. We serve patients at both our West Vancouver Dental Office and our East Vancouver / Camas Dental Office for convenient access to urgent dental treatment.

Toothaches are often a warning sign that something inside the tooth or gums is wrong and needs to be seen by a dentist. The most common causes of pain:

• Deep cavities that irritate the nerve
• Infections or abscesses
• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Damaged fillings or crowns
• Gum disease
• Pressure from impacted wisdom teeth
• Dental Trauma

Our Vancouver dentists evaluate every patient carefully using modern imaging and a gentle exam to determine the exact cause of discomfort.

If your pain is related to infection, you may need treatment for a serious dental abscess or swelling affecting the face and gums. Learn more about urgent care for swollen gums and facial swelling.

You should seek emergency dental treatment if you experience:

• Persistent throbbing pain
• Swelling around the tooth
• Fever
• Difficulty opening your mouth
• Sensitivity to hot or cold 
• Pain after a hit to the face

These symptoms often indicate nerve involvement or infection that will not improve without professional treatment.

We offer comprehensive services for emergency dental care for adults as well as specialized treatment for children’s dental emergencies, so every member of your family can receive prompt relief.

During your visit, our dentist does a detailed exam to locate the source of the problem. Digital X-rays allow us to see decay, fractures, or infection hidden beneath the surface. The imaging also helps guide us through the treatment process. We also check the gums, bite alignment, and previous dental work such as crowns or fillings. This thorough approach ensures you receive the correct treatment the first time. 

If the toothache is caused by damage to an old filling or crown, we can provide same-day help through our crown and filling repair services.

Our dentist will examine the area to determine the best treatment for your situation. For teeth with nerve damage or infection, we may recommend an emergency root canal to remove bacteria and save the natural tooth. If the tooth cannot be restored, a tooth extraction may be the only option to eliminate pain and protect surrounding teeth. We won’t know the extent of damage until we do an exam and possibly X-rays.
